The Cure

[Archangel]

Anyone like the cure?

 

[Qyöt27]

Yep.

 

[MoreInSorrow]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE EVERYTHING up to and including "Wish".

It was all downhill from there, though (excluding, of course, their live albums released right after "Wish").

 

[JaelWasWickedCool]

of course so.

 

[LITB]

I like their really early stuff

I always enjoyed the song 'boys don't cry.' They have had some very powerful songs -- they are one of the bands that I can just listen to for hours; they are one of the few bands in rock and roll that one does not have to actively listen to.

I love the Cure. Well, I do dislike some of their stuff (Wild Mood Swings comes to mind, and I never really got into Bloodflowers), but Disintegration, Head On The Door, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, and Pornography are terrific.

 

[MoreInSorrow]

I'd have to say, beginning to end Disintegration is one of their best albums ever. It rivals Kiss Me, Kiss Me pretty closely, but Disintegration has sooo many good songs on it.

I must admit my previous aversion to the Cure seems to be waning somewhat. Not that I ever thought their was anything wrong with them per se, but I was sort of conditioned against them some time back by an ex-girlfriend who would play them all the time until I got to the point that I just couldn’t stand hearing them any more.

Recently I’ve noticed that I have started to enjoy them again.

I agree with ya just about 100%!!!!! I saw The Cure on tour once for Disintigration and their last U.S. performance for Wish but I haven't seen 'em since. Those shows were incredible!!!!!! Since then they've gone downhill but I don't hate their new studio stuff since Wish, i just don't like it as much. I'd play every CD up through Wish plus their live albums ten times each before I listen once to Wild Mood Swings.

I'm kind of surprised they're still going and I respect that. They're truly legendary.

I kinda think the opposite though......I believe it's time for them to hang it up.

Then again, they seem to have retained some level of popularity among many of their fans, so maybe continuing on isn't that bad.

i bought the greatest hits cd a while ago, and like them since that. the first time i heard them was robert smith singing with blink in "All of This". recently bought their live album paris, another cd and the latest one.

Didnt like the latest stuff...but when u get into it u appreciate it and really enhoy it..Us or Them is a class song...so much rage and stuff in it. yea

 

[tomb lily]

oh definately.. my favorite records are Faith, Pornography and Desintegration, but I like Boys Don't Cry too.. and a few songs here and there off of other records.

 

[rebel_conservative]

I saw the Cure live this time last year, they were amazing!

 

[london boy]

The Cure are one of my favourite bands of all time. Disintegration, Faith and Pornography are great albums. They've had some great singles throughout their career

 

[Dying2Live4Christ]

I really enjoy listening to The Cure!

 

[Arnold_Philips]

"Killing an Arab" is good. Well, a lot of their songs are good.

"Killing an Arab" is good. Well, a lot of their songs are good.

yes, but it is not politically correct, and in the current authoritarian socio-political climate I would be wary of playing it. the fact that it is about existentialism is lost on the unthinking p.c. brigade...

I can't decide (then again, my opinion doesn't really matter in the long run). I mean, Their self-titled record was pretty decent (not great, but decent) and it sort of gave me hope that Robert Smith still had it in him. If he can keep cranking out stuff like that (or better) then I think they should keep it up, but if they are going to go back to "Wild Mood Swings" sort of stuff, I think they should hang it up. I'd rather see them go out on top then end up as washed up rock stars appearing on showboats and local amusement parks or something.
