anyone here like the cure?

[Xorv]

I do! Some of their songs (like lullaby) bring back old memories of pleasure, fun and (other)

Well, at least I used to. Albums like "Pornography" are classics and songs like "lets go to bed" and "caterpillar" are outstanding. But seeing them live was the best - tracks like "killing an arab" and "the forest" were mesmerizing live and the sound became so much heavier. Robert Smith was indeed a genius songwriter. But I prefer the live recordings

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

I'm not crazy about them but I do like them...

 

[delize]

I liked them years ago. Don't care too much about them now.

I like them. I'd have to say Disintegration is my favorite. Haven't really been that into their recent stuff though.

 

[Cracked Pleasures]

People say I look like Robert Smith. Probably just the fuzzy hair and the eyeliner, that's all I have in common with him really. But as a goth, I see it as a compliment.

I like the early Cure, when they were still dark and gothic. The nineties work does not move me that much.

Charlotte Sometimes is my favourite track, I have Aspergers myself and the lyrics of that song have a big autistic touch.
Sometimes I am dreaming while all the other people dance...
Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself...

Very recognisable. A pal of mine once dedicated this song to me as he said it suited me perfectly, and he is damn right about that.

Other great Cure songs: A Forest, The Hanging Garden, Letter for Elise, Just Like Heaven, Killing an Arab (no, not a racist song!), Disintegration and especially Lovesong.

One Cure song I dislike: Close To Me.

Cracked Pleasures: Charlotte Sometimes is an amazing song; definately one of my favorite Cure songs.

 

[Alter]

Very good band


...check out interpol now!!

The Cure were amazing back in the eighties but I don't get enthousiast about anything beyond that. Still I hope to see them live someday as they will still play the great stuff from their best days. Even the more commercial Wish album still had some very decent songs.

 

[bananafishbones]

yeah, I'm crazy about them
and love lullaby, all I want, there is no if, the walk, the upstairs room, watching me fall, a night like this...
damn, I like all of their stuff!!

 

[Thoth-Amon]

I do! Some of their songs (like lullaby) bring back old memories of pleasure, fun and (other)

 

[Jyaruu]

The Cure is great and I own one of their compilation releases,
Boys Don't Cry.

 

[EyeballKid]

The Cure is amazing. I can't really say I got lost on the newer stuff...if anything it's the VERY first albums I can't really get behind.

I'll give the metal horns to Wish and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, even if they don't even come close to the metal realm.
