Having listened to a lot of their material recently I find this a very tough call.

Played 'Violator' to death when it came out.
Haven't listened to it for ages - may have to dig it out now!

'Music for the Masses' by a country mile, the only one I've heard* that doesn't fall victim to the 'three or four good songs then mostly filler' thing that DM do so well 
*none since 'Exciter', which didn't seem to even have the 'three or four'.

Ooh LOVELY thread. They do make a stunning Best Of...
I don't think it's best but I tell you what, Playing The Angel is MASSIVELY underrated. Precious and Suffer Well should both sit comfortably in their top 10 best ever songs, and Suffer Well is glorious live.

At the beginning for me, Speak and Spell, saw them play this album as their set at Jenkinsons bar in 1981... God I feel old!

Loved Violator
A difficult choice but what I will say is Ultra is very very underrated.
Random fact, one of the “bus kids” from this film now co-owns a French oyster bar a few blocks from where I live.
Violator, obviously.
Looking forward to the new album and tour. Going to Twickenham and Oslo.
They played a snippet of a new song at their press conference the other day.... and YouTuber remix legend Dominatrix turned it into a full-blown (and quite old school) banger...
