The Cure, one of my favourite bands. I've been obsessed with Pornography (yes, the album from the Cure of course :p) for some time. I bought it blindly for 6 euro and I wasn't disappointed obviously I was also the first thing I heard from them. Disintegration is better musically but does not have the same depth as Pornography.

Not to familiar with Depeche Mode though, I know some songs. Probably need to check it out soon.
 
eventho i own many depeche albums and even went to their gig last summer, nothing, ever, period can touch upon what happened on 'disintegration' and that should in a perfect world be the law of any katatonia fan.

Oh my fu**in' Lord, Mister Blakkheim! I ALWAYS said exactly the same - almost ;)

I feel you. And I love you for that.
 
Depeche Mode are by far a better band in my opinion. They have made pretty much nothing but great music in there 25 year history. They are still one of the best live bands to.

The cure on the other hand have made some great albums and some really avg. ones. But disintegration is the most powerful and meaningful album I have ever heard. Words can't even descibe what it means to me.

So yeah I voted DM becasue im pretty much obbsessed with them but The cure would win if the question was "what artist has the best album" ..or sumthing like that :p
 
Yikes, tough question, I have to lean towards DMode just because I grew up listening to them more, but The Cure are awesome too.

Pictures of You - I'm always hypnotized by that extended album intro.
 
It kills me to decide but The Cure have to win, mainly as I shape my singing voice to a certain extent around his (but then so does Jonas without a doubt!)

Plus A forest is a masterpiece for just 4 chords...


ooooh and lets face it A NIGHT LIKE THIS is the best song they ever did, i'm sorry if you disagree but i think for its time it was a pinnacle moment for them:

Say goodbye on a night like this
If its the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesnt even look like you
It goes dark
It goes darker still
Please stay
But I watch you like Im made of stone
As you walk away
 
Maybe it has to do with faggot..

I can't choose, because I don't know that much from "the cure".
But I like some songs of both bands. "Home" from DM is really really nice. And the Violator album.
And from the cure I like some hitsongs too ;)
 
big fan of both bands, soooo close to a draw, but had to go for "DM".... ask the same question in a month and the cure might have taken the lead in the race between them though :saint:
 
the cure for sure. I really like songs All I Want, There Is No If, Watching Me Fall, A Night Like This... and almost every other.

But I'm not saying that I don't like DM, just like The Cure better.

I pretty much agree with this. I think Depeche Mode are much more consistent, but "Disintegration" is probably the best album put out by either band, but "Violator" is not that far behind.


I voted for Depeche Mode because I love dancing and weeping to them at the same time.. "IN YOUR ROOM," people!
