The Cure

[Jack Sparrow]

Any fans here? I only own the albums that were released between 1987 and 2000, but I've heard mostly the other albums too. But it's kind of sad that they don't make much music as they used to do. It seems like they take four years to release a record.

Discuss.

[Sleuth]

I'm not a big fan, but I've grown into liking them somewhat

Burn is my favorite

[phil marlowe]

im a fan and has been for quite some years now. they are not allways good but bloodflowers was quite a worthy finish for them i think. the best are pornography, the head on the door, kiss me and maybe faith.

[Ghostboy]

My favorites are that epic triptych of Pornography, Disintegration, and Bloodflowers. I love the rest, too. But those appeal to the depressed, angst filled romantic in me more than anything else.

Listening to certain records at certain times in your life endears them to you in a certain way. My CD towers are stacks and stacks of memories; The Cure fills up a lot of the bittersweet ones.

ima  fan, i like pornography best. faith and boys dont cry (or 3 imaginary boys) are also good

[phil marlowe]

Disintegration

shit, i cant believe i forgot to mention disintegration, it's by far my favorite. second thoughts about kiss me, kiss me, kiss me is that it shouldnt be mentioned among my faves, the overall quality is just not that good. but the song just like heaven stands out as one of their best ever i think.

[MacGuffin]

My favorite Cure album:

[meatwad]

i actually really like the acoustic disc on the greatest hits. Alot of the songs sound better acoustic. Maybe it's just me

I LOVED The Cure as a teen. I'm not nearly so devoted now, but I still have major soft spots for:

[Sigur Rós]

I wouldn't consider myself a fan. But I love  Disintegration and Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me

[Pwaybloe]

Really like The Cure.  

Really wish he would lose the makeup.

[Pas]

Strange, I was going to start a thread about them !

Love Disentegration, Boys don't Cry (Killin' an Arab is about The Stranger, so that's nice), and pretty much everything else.

Love their style, too

[modage]

close to me
boys dont cry
just like heaven

[AlguienEstolamiPantalones]

the sad thing about the cure is their image over shadoed the fact that they wrote such fucking great songs, with super melodys

people who dont know the band that much think all their songs sound like " love song" all sad and depressed and gloomy

but no way their melodys were so fucking catchy they were bubblegum at its best

i just put on the walk album, love their early days
