The Cure - i bloody love their old stuff

[Socialmalfunction]

alright so this is a band that i completely love. they rock. i really love them because i love poetry and the way they put poetry and muzik together (the two loves of my life) is beautiful. im not too sure if i like their new stuff, but their old stuff will live! but i am curious to know if there are other out there who feel the same. :cheesy:

I agree.....I have always liked the Cure and have been listening to them for about 15 years. Anything post Kiss Me X 3, is rubbish in my opinion.....a lot of people I know liked Disentigration, but I thought it was pap. Their early stuff was GREAT! My fave LPs by them are Pornography, Boys Dont Cry, Seventeen Seconds and Faith. GREAT stuff!!!!

[Sammi]

Boys don't cry and Jumping someone elses train are great songs..

I disagree - later Cure have some amazing stuff. How can you dismiss Wish and Bloodflowers so easily? *smiles*

I'm a massive Cure fan, up to the point where about this time last year they were all i lived for. Kinda got better since then (not as unhappy) but they still get played and i still have a place for them in my heart. I missed them play in Hyde Park this year because i was on holiday, but i will see them some day. You mark my words.

Anybody like other new-wave stuff: Bauhaus, Souxise? I can give you a list of things to check out the sound like early Cure that you might like.

Zippy.

PS. 'Just Like Heaven' is one of the best songs ever written. :)

It's funny that we Commies enjoy the same music.I don't know what to say about the cure only that they really transmit human emotion into rock!Just say yes!

[vox]

Count me as another fan. :)

And mujer revolucionaria, you didn't like "Disintegration?" Eek! I loved that one. I think the title track is one of their finest.

The best Cure song is "Burn" (from The Crow soundtrack).

[mujer revolucionaria]

nah I wasnt much of a Disentegration fan......

I do love Siouxsie and Bauhaus as well.....great stuff!!

[vox]

Hmmm... The Cure, Siouxsie, Bauhaus... I'm betting that you have some Depeche Mode in your collection, too, don'tcha? How many times have you seen "The Hunger?" :) Just kidding.

I was never big into Siouxsie, but if I hear "The Passenger" (I think that's the one) I get "la la la la la la la la" stuck in my head for days. Bauhaus had some good stuff, and I don't care what anyone says, I still like "Bela Lugosi's Dead."

So how goth are you, anyway? And the all important question: you dig The Smiths?

Thats an Iggy Pop song that Siouxsie covered. :)

As for the "how goth are you?" question; i'm goth enough to know that being a goth is a cliché. *smiles*

Listening to my mp3's and i remember an amazing cover version of Purple Haze (Hendrix) that The Cure have done, so i tell you all to go download it now.

To add to the list of "goth" bands i also throw in Joy Division. I'm a sucker for Manchester indie and add the goth element to that and i'm in love. The Cure also do a carbon-copy-cover of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' that you could check out. :)

I have only seen The Hunger once.....it was so so....and I do have Depeche Mode, I was way into that stuff when I was like 13.....

I am not a goth, no ever claimed to be, nor would ever desire to be.....so dont go there ;)

I also listen to Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline, does that make me a redneck? ;)

And yes Joy Division were wonderful.....though my favorite bands to come out of Manchester (which is my 2nd home) are The Smiths and The Stone Roses (BRILLIANCE!!!!!)
