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

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.

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.

They are very similar more so when Terry was in the colourfield.

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.

Bit boring sticking with just one band broaden your horizon's and listen to others as well.

I'd rather listen to The Smiths.
I had a huge thing for The Cure, big enough to fill a house my obsession.

You realized that the Cure aren't very good?

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.
