I've over played The Cure and now I think I'm going to kill myself, but damn it's good music.

Re: The Cure
Generally good music; way way way way way corny lyrics. Not even Morrissey makes me cringe so much at hearing the self-involved "deep" and dark lyrics.

Re: The Cure
I quite liked some of the earlier poppy stuff, 83-85, but they've never really moved me. I always thought Robert Smith's singing voice was very similar to Terry Hall's.

Re: The Cure
Nice song haven't seen that video since it was released like the way Toby Lions and Karl Shale are dressed like the Harold Lloyd characters they were a good little band really liked their singles and the album "Virgins and Philistines" is top also.

Re: The Cure
I'd rather listen to The Smiths.
I had a huge thing for The Cure, big enough to fill a house my obsession.
And then I can't remember what happened....

Re: The Cure
I think I got off the bus for good with Bloodflowers. Disintegration was the last album I bought as an actual fan, and still liked some of the singles thereafter—Friday, I'm in Love is a near-perfect pop song—but I found things becoming exceedingly tired. Even those early albums are rough listening for me because the corny gloom is so fucking heavy-handed. Faith and Pornography have some good tunes on them (I really dig Pornography's percussion), but the lyrics are for those who wear black twenty-fours a day and regret that they couldn't do it longer.
