The Cure

[Bee]

:D :D :D
i love the cure

[n0va]

They are such a beautiful band!!! I think their music is really emotional :)

[miss villkhu[TSP]]

my mate's porl thompson's niece and he's going to go round her's for dinner today :) and he's somehow related to rob too. i can't remember.

but i find it amusing how agent smith tells neo that they are the cure in the matrix :)

i have only heard a few of their songs but i want to find out more because they're like the only band from crawley (where i live) so could somebody suggest their top ten songs?

[Velouria]

']i have only heard a few of their songs but i want to find out more because they're like the only band from crawley (where i live) so could somebody suggest their top ten songs?

Album wise, I'd definately get hold of Faith, Pornography, Head on the Door, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me and Disintegration.

It would also be a good idea for you to get hold of one of the greatest hits albums, as the Cure have covered a wide range of styles in their career.

[Sunburn*]

The Cure have got to be one of the most rich bands ever! They have released about 16 albums, i think even more! + tons of singles! They are a real great band........there releasing another album in a cuple of months! belive it or not!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

[How To Be Dead]

20 albums :)

[Sarah]

They sound like sex. Literally. Sometimes, anyway...

[mally]

Too many great songs... Lullaby is godly. They've been held an ever higher mantle in my heart since my boyfriend dressed up as Robert Smith for Halloween.
<3

[Bee]

i just wanted to say how much i *love* the cure :)

[mally]

But you already made a Cure thread... :eek:

[Bee]

i know, i kinda forgot about that one :o :(

[mally]

Heheh. Aaw well... they'll be merged together soon enough. :D
What are your favourite Cure tracks?

[Noodles]

*LEAPS IN SINGING LOVE CATS* :D

P.S. Peter from fame academy murdered `friday i`m in love` :mad: it`s on more reason to kill him

Who would win in a fight?
Morrissey or Robert smith?

I love the Cure Too!! :D

[Ollie of Symmetry]

Or is that the Cult i'm thinkin of???

lol, same thing, sham thing :p :p

..Yeah... Think I'd have to go for Smithy boy too. My apologies to Mozza.
Although, apparently they don't hate each other anymore.

Awwwww :mad:

Well their conflict will still exsist in my head it amuses me! I wanna see them go at it. :cool: I think Smitty will win too. :LOL:

[Serpent_Sky]

Yay for The Cure! I love their Love-Cats song and Friday I'm in Love!

[Noodles]

Aggh love cats, my sis jumps about singing the "Do de do do do de do do" bit when she`s in a funny mood (O_o)

[Serpent_Sky]

Heh, sounds rather disturbing. I remember the first time I saw one of their videos when I was 6 or 7 and I was like, 'Mummy? Why's the funny man wearing make-up?' :LOL:

[Bee]

i love 'just like heaven' :) *dreamy Sigh* robert smith
ahh did anybody see jamie cullum and katie mellua doing lovecats at the brits? :'(

[Velouria]

ahh did anybody see jamie cullum and katie mellua doing lovecats at the brits? :'(

I thought it was fucking dreadful, an absolute travesty.

It was the worst Cure cover since Dinosaur Jr. destoyed Just Like Heaven.

Thats just wrong. jamie Cullum is wrong.

[MassiveEgo]

Never Enough is my favourite Cure song I think, Wish is my favourite album of their's

Morrissey would win a fight, have you seen that new gun of his?

[Strife]

Lovecats is my favourite Cure song. I love The Cure. Robert for me. He wears Ice Hockey shirts... So, he must be harder... Or not...

[plastic passion]

I seriously love this band to death. I cannot imagine my life without them.
I cannot wait for their summer tour with Interpol and The Rapture.

As for Bobbert and Morrisey....
Rob just mentioned it in the new EW magazine. He doesnt like his music, Mozz started the feud, and hes never even met the guy.

My fav Cure tracks:
from the edge of the deep green sea
100 years
faith
short term effect
play for today
plainsong
homesick
end
I could list songs all night...

[e_kee]

THE CURE!!!

wasnt a big fan but my friend got me hooked. they are amazing.

as a matter of fact, i just listened to "just like heaven". hehe :p

[Sarah]

The guitars in Boys Don't Cry makes me cry. So pretty.

[mally]

I want the new album nooooOoOoOooooOOw. :o

[MassiveEgo]

I have two tickets to see the Cure, they are the great

that is all

[dboradio]

The Cure are playing at a concert/festival type thing right near me called the hfstival for a radio station. I would love to see them play but I will be vacationing and all of the other groups are like the offspring,modest mouse, new found glory, jay z, and bands I'd rather not know that the Cure are playing with. Seems so strange they'd be doing a show like that.

[han_the_badger]

Love cats has to be one of the best songs of all time. Only a stupid twerp like Jamie Cullum could spoil it, which he undoubtedly did. Stupid man :mad:
Friday I'm in love or whatever it's called is a classic tho :D

[Hoppipolla]

I quite adore the new track, a night like this, to sheila and boys don't cry... for it's oh so libertines flavour at the start. :happy:

[devotionalee]

Seen the Cure last friday, and all I can say is... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA they were greeeeeeeeat :happy: :D. My first time, and for sure not the last one :)

[Hoppipolla]

Heh. You're quite a muppet because To Sheila was never released by The Cure - it's a smashing pumpkins song. When you wrote A night like this, you must of went to smashing pumpkins in your head because they covered it and then thought of Boys crying because you're just a crazy sissy.

Stranger: "Oh dear, he's talking to himself again" :indiffere

Shush!

So, anyway, I bought their new album (with the bonus tracks and DVD :happy: ) yesterday. It's good. I haven't been able to stop listening to it. It's definitely worth a buy for cure fans. The bonus tracks would be the ones that stand out on the album, though- they're my favourite tracks.

Ahh I keep having 'the lovecats' going around in my head when Im at work for some reason...

Have totally fallen in love with Lullaby mmmm

[devotionalee]

Well, since nobody wrote here in the whole month, and your reply was only 10 minutes after my post, I thought your post was for me; mainly because you didn't give any explanation.... Can you see it? right. That's all. Now it's clear. See U.

[plastic passion]

*ahem* They are wonderful, wouldnt you agree?
I'm seeing them this weekend in San Francisco and Sacramento.
These will conclude my Curiosa roadtrip...8 shows in one month.

[devotionalee]

You are lucky; they change their setlist a lot from gig to gig, so you had 8 different concerts :D. Btw, I had to travel 8 hours on bus to see them, after MUSE :P

*hoping to see them again this year*

[plastic passion]

You went on a bus? cooool.
We drove to half the shows and flew the other half.
I'll be paying for this trip long after they retire. :$
We flew out to Texas because we wanted to see more of muse and the cure...and well we all know how that ended.

The Cure won't be touring in the states on this album anymore. :'(
We'll have to wait another 4 years. Hopefully the rumors of another line up change isnt true.

[devotionalee]

You are a real fan :D. My trip was a bit expensive for me too (including 3 days in that city). But muse & the cure deserved it. Were grrrrrrreat! I can't imagine this multiplied by 8 :).

I hope next alb in less than 4 years (u2, cure and dm are soooo lazy...)

[plastic passion]

Where did you see the festival?

Yeah true fan. The Cure has been my absolute favorite band since 1987. I couldnt think of a better way to put myself into debt than seeing them. ;)

As for DM, isnt Dave busy with his solo stuff?
I seen them once a few years ago.
U2 is touring soon right? I heard they wanted to take Snow Patrol out...?

[devotionalee]

I saw them in Spain: Starsailor, MUSE, Lou Reed, the Cure :)

I listen to the Cure since Bloodflowers (only :p), and have become a little fan in these years.

About DM... Dave was busy until December; now they are writing and going to the studio soon.
I don't know anything about U2's tour :p

[plastic passion]

I remember Robert talking about that festival and he was looking forward to watching muse and starsailor.

A new Cure fan is better than not being one. :p

For some reason I was thinking Dave was just releasing a new album...
hmmm. So new DM soon? I want more Martin solos....that man has a voice as smooth as silk.

[Jappie]

I've become a new Cure fan too, I've borrowed my dads Cure cd, muahaha, it's their greatest hits cd, Staring At The Sea, I love it. We 're probably gonna play A Forest with our band! :D

[burntoutdeadstar]

Love isn't a strong enough word for how I feel about The Cure.

[ginsberg]

I just saw them play exactly 2 months ago (gasp). They were absolutely amazing. I recently found one of their records in my dads record collection, soooo cool. I'm wearing their shirt right now.

[ummagumma]

Love isn't a strong enough word for how I feel about The Cure.

its not just you :D

[Niffil]

Is it true that Muse had an appearence at the 'The Cure'-Icon-Show? I read that somewhere on the MTV pages and didn't fond anything about that anywhere else.

[plastic passion]

I didn't hear anything about Muse being interviewed on there.
They don't even like The Cure's music. Silly boys.
It is possible though. Most of the kids that went couldn't remember all the people they showed.

Today it was shown on MTV here but I haven't seen it 'cause I wasn't near a TV. I think it will be repeated in some time. Then I'll probably see it 'cause even if Muse didn't appear there it should be pretty interesting.

Lucky. I doubt we'll get it here in America. Bleh.
I seen the covers already though. I didn't care for Blink's cover of A Letter to Elise.
AFI did really good covering Just Like Heaven. Davey's voice sounded great.
razorlight butchered Boys Don't Cry.
The Deftones did the best with If Only Tonight We Could Sleep. It was hauntingly beautiful.

[thecurerox]

Yay! Finally The Cure's Alt. End video is going to premiere. I found a link at UMG that links to the video. It is so so good. Robert you are my icon. Anyone check out the MTV icon of The Cure http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/cure/artist.jhtml

[plastic passion]

The new video is good but it makes me very upset that Robert gets all the screen time.
I wish the videos were like how they used to be where the entire band would
be a part of it.
Yeah alt.end is good, dark, and creepy.

[hysteriac123]

Yeah alt.end is good, dark, and creepy.

it's like all their songs: the cure cure me when i'm a bit down :)

[veeny]

i recently got into the cure and really like them. :)

[killerqueen]

anybody come on please tell me one of you likes the best band in the world which is lead by robert smith...the cure....

[killerqueen]

And I can't wait for the re-releases either. :happy:

hye everybody

Does anyone here like the cure? :) they are one of my favourite bands and i would like to know others persons who like them.I think its the most great band of the 70-80. and still now they are very talented and appreciate by a lot of bands.what do you think?

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

New album on its way.

I quite liked the last album.

[CottonCandy]

Right. Cure fans, I need your help!

I'm quite new to the band, but I do have the Hits cd, and I've also managed to get some their newer stuff from the library, to give it a listen. But now I want to buy more, and I think I could start from the bit darker ones (as the hits album didn't quite cover that side of The Cure). So.

Faith, Pornography, or Disintegration?

Oh, and Robert Smith kicks ass. :happy:

[Nikora]

All 3 :LOL:

(I say Pornography first though)

[Velouria]

All 3 :LOL:

(I say Pornography first though)

Agreed, get Pornography first, though the other two are excellent also. I also recommend getting 17 Seconds.

[jeremy kyle]

i heart the cure

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

Disintegration is their best album.

[plastic passion]

Go for Pornography and then Faith. Pornography is my favorite album.
Wish, Head on the Door, and Disintegration next.

halo what curiosa show(s) did you go to?
Those were sooooo much fun.


Kazuya I don't believe a new album is coming this year like Robert said. Well I hope I'm wrong because I'd LOVE to see them soon but Robert lies alot..:LOL: 4 years between each record...so 2008 will be when we see them next.

[plastic passion]

The Cure ARE in the studio recording now. Wow. Robert posted today and said so.
Also looks like they will be playing another show in London later this year.
The show at the Royal Albert Hall on April 1 is going to be 3 hours. I'm so jealous.

BTW they have a new promo picture on their myspace. Simon is so handsome.

[jeremy kyle]

this band is just amazing,i really cannot get enough of them.Better than my00ze anyday

[plastic passion]

Their album is supposed to come out Oct 31. Good way to stop the whole "goth" label. haha

[RaceAgnstMyself]

i cant stop liseing to lets go to bed

[halo eighteen]

New album pushed back to May 2007, due to Robert's current case of writer's block. Touring starts in March so they better get things moving soon!

Festival 2005 - 2½ hr. DVD in stores now, filmed across last year's European Festival tour. Stellar renditions of The Blood, The Drowning Man, A Forest, Faith, and 26 others. Really shows off their new keyboard-less sound. Oh yeah and the return of Mr. Porl Thompson to the band. Can't lose there.

[Wowee Zowee]

Writers block? you know when that happens the cure will never produce anything better than their 80s stuff/early 90s.

[BlackoutMatt]

Disintegration is the best album ever made. So I understand if it took almost all of their genius to produce that masterpiece, and they now have nothing left.

but I'm always hopeful!

[Velouria]

Writers block? you know when that happens the cure will never produce anything better than their 80s stuff/early 90s.

Sadly for me High was the last really good Cure album. I hurts to say that as I love all their work up to then, and saw them so many times in the early 90s. :(

[jeremy kyle]

Writers block? you know when that happens the cure will never produce anything better than their 80s stuff/early 90s.

+1 theres only so many good lyrics one person can come up with. E.g morrissey where has his lyricism gone :noey:

[Nikora]

Bob Smith's had too many pies, his brain's clogged now.

[Wowee Zowee]

I dont think they could ever write a better song than In Between Days. I love that song so much.

[plastic passion]

Writers block...of course. He has writen over 200 songs. I'm not surprised he is having a difficult time. I'm sure anything he comes up with now will be better than the last album.

I'm catching them the 24th of March at Miami's Ultra Music Festival. Can't wait.

[plastic passion]

I dont think they could ever write a better song than In Between Days. I love that song so much.

That is hardly their best song....:p
Great song though.
My favorite is From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea.

[mr.jingles]

Some few good songs, but I hate Robert Smith with a passion for the following reasons:

- He is always badmouthing any artist or band who is more successful than his own.
- He criticizes any artist who who has pop oriented catchy radio hits, when he himself has written a couple of them including 'Friday I'm in Love'.
- It's hard to take an 80s goth seriously when he's fat, almost in his 50s and he's still wearing make-up.
- He appeared on the worst South Park episode ever.

[halo eighteen]

dude, he's appeared on stage with acts from David Bowie to Blink 182, to Placebo, and has guested on countless bands' albums. Not to mention he personally hand-picked the entire Curiosa line-up. That doesn't sound like a very negative Nancy to me. Morrissey is probably the only person he's consistently had negative things to say about over the years, and that was most certainly a very mutual thing.

I think it's cool when celebrities appear on a cartoon shows as long as their apperance works along with the plot of the episode just like when Aerosmith and Red Hot Chili Peppers appeared on The Simpsons.

However, Robert Smith turning into a robot and beating the shit out of Barbara Streisand is the most pathetic idea anyone has come up with, and I hate Barbara Streisand.

He had an opinion, he shared it, good for him. He is pretty well known for being very vocal on his opinions. He has settled down in recent years though.

oh and on the make-up bit...imagine Elizabeth Taylor with no make-up on. Scary.
Seriously Robert needs to keep it on. But it is only for the stage.

The Cure announce one off date at London Wembley Arena on March 20th

[csoulmate]

Hey hey... For those who love the Cure, new dates were announced today for their next tour!!! They'll be playing n Wembley on March 20th and in Paris on the 12th! I'll be at the latter :D unless the tickets get sold too fast for me...

[Sylvie]

Same, I will try to get tickets for Paris tomorrow! wow I've just heard this! I saw them when I was 17 in my town and they were older than me lol.:rolleyes:

No Sylvie come to Wembley with me! :LOL: But I want to buy tickets I don't know anyone else who likes them :stunned: Should I buy two? :erm: I can always sell them I guess

[Velouria]

I might go to this one. The last time I saw them was on the Bloodflowers tour and to be honest I didn't really enjoy that show, mainly because they didn't play a lot of classic stuff. :(

Yeah thats what I'm worried about :( Surely if this is a one they should play more classic stuff? As they're the songs I enjoy a hell of a lot more

Indeed. The Wish tour was amazing as they did such a range of stuff. I went to all four nights they did at Olympia in 1992 and those shows were just amazing. I'll always remember the brilliant lights during The Figurehead and how they just fit perfectly with the song.

I really didn't like Bloodflowers that much, and at the show I went to in 2000 they played loads of really long songs from that. Frankly I was bored, which I'd never been at a Cure show before. :(

[sohma-kun]

it's so funny to me. i was suppose to see the cure sept 13th (i think it was) in tampa. but that's when they postponed the tour and said they'd tour when the album's done. so instead of seeing the cure that week, i hopped on a plane and saw muse in grand prairie, tx instead. definitely holding onto my cure tix, though, since they'll be back in june.

also, please don't bite. i'm not new to muse but i am new to the forum thing, even in this internet age. :)

[Sylvie]

Welcome here, I am not a newby but I'm an oldie! ;)

[seregon]

I can't get through to See Tickets :'(

[Velouria]

I can't get through to See Tickets :'(

Do you have a presale link or something? I'm on See now and it says they aren't on sale until tomorrow. :confused:

New dates for Sex Pistols and Foo Fighters have come on sale today so that will probably slow things down.

I checked yesterday it said they go on sale today :erm: Oh well I'll try tomorrow anyway Ticketmaster is still working fine! Meh not bothered about seeing Sex Pistols got bored of them ages ago

[hystericali]

I grew up listening to The Cure, saw them in 1989.

They are just immense. They have stood the test of time and are as relevant now as they were back in the 80's.

Wish I could go to see them again but I'm skint :(

Maybe next month when I'm richer, but I think the chances of any tickets being left will be nil :(

[Davy]

No Sylvie come to Wembley with me! :LOL: But I want to buy tickets I don't know anyone else who likes them :stunned: Should I buy two? :erm: I can always sell them I guess

This is exactly my problem...

and I don't have much money. meh.

Guess i'll be waiting for one to crop up on Scarlet Mist later on in the year or so...

[Vesper]

I wish i could go back in time and see them on the Prayer Tour.:(

[Debi]

I wish i could go back in time and see them on the Prayer Tour.:(

Hehe, love your avatar! The Chaser are awesome :D

I saw The Cure back in August in a 3-hour show and they were BRILLIANT. Initially I thought I'd grow tired of hearing Smith singing but when it was over I wished they could've stayed another 3 hours.

:DThank you!

I saw them at Curiosa and had been a fan for quite a while, Im still a fan now, but not as much as I used to be...Im pretty sure they're playing around here soon, but I have no clue when.

[universalradio]

Shake Dog Shake is bumpin'
It's one of my favorite cure songs

and piggy in the mirror.

[Lynzi]

Didn't they just recently just cancel a tour or some tour dates in the states?, only my mam and dads mates from here(uk) went over to see their son in America and they were going to see the cure at the same time with their son and his wife, only they cancelled the show, don't know why but its a shame as they were looking faward to it, they're in their 50s and love them I mean I find it odd and the fact my mam and dad had never heard of them just made me laugh so much.

[seregon]

Just bought a ticket to the Wembley show not sure about 2 yet hope it doesn't sell out too quickly :erm:

[Max]

Aino has asked me to buy a ticket for her. I've booked that as well as a ticket for myself. I've never made any effort to listen to the Cure that much but I'm looking forward to next March in anycase. Should be fun.

[Vesper]

Shake Dog Shake is bumpin'

Ooh LSD inspired goodness. Love Shake Dog Shake.

Pornogrophy is probably my favourite album of theirs though...

[coxoxi]

One of my favourite bands... I've never heard them live :(

[csoulmate]

Didn't they just recently just cancel a tour or some tour dates in the states? You're right! Mr Smith finally decided he wanted to finish the album before touring in the US... The news broke out only 2 weeks before the shows... still don't know how this could happen! Not enough sales?

Anyway, I'll be in Paris and in Zurich :D Can't wait! I only saw them once, that was two years ago, in Rockozarenes... It was great!!!

[plastic passion]

I'll see you in Tampa.
If I knew The Cure werent coming I would have gone to see Muse but I spent a bit of money for front row tickets for Tampa.

[ellenium]

I love The Cure as so mus as Muse! But they don't going to visit Moscow, so I'm gonna to visit 2 concerts in Poland.

[whisperit]

I'm from Moscow too and going to Berlin in February. Anyone else going?
3 hours gig!... I think that's awesome!

Did you guys saw their setlists in Mexico?

fantastic diversity

btw, you can find another song (A Boy I Never Knew, live recording) from the upcoming album here (http://agleason.blogspot.com/2007/10/boy-i-never-knew.html).

:)

[plastic passion]

I hope they keep somewhat of the same setlist when they play in the US.
To Wish Impossible Things...Other Voices....mmmmm!!!

I listened to Please Project and the lyrics are cute the song itself bored me. I didn't even get past the few few verses. Maybe the studio version will be better.
I like the lyrics for the Boy I never knew but havent heard the song.

[seregon]

only just heard 65daysofstatic are supporting them on their tour quite excited about that :D

[Candy Perfum Mark]

Love the Cure. Will always love the Cure.

[Centerfold]

AMAZING BAND-JUST AMAZING BAND!
I love so many songs of them...

[Muttley]

They've gone post rock :eek::eek::eek:

I'm listening to the first track now and I absolutely LOVE it.

[Static Shadows]

They've gone post rock :eek::eek::eek:

I'm listening to the first track now and I absolutely LOVE it.

They were on the edge of doing that on a couple of tracks the last album. Looking forward to getting this new one! :D


EDIT:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WqIU6agWD80

Definately has a loose jam feel to it!

[Muttley]

This is the track I was talking about

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e5RO_1zt8G8

The Cure have been sooooooo influential and now they even put Post Rock bands to shame :stunned:

[Clunge]

Robert Smith's voice is incredibly impressive, he sounds just as good now as he did back when they began, even during their live shows. He's got a fantastic voice too, it's just so clear and dreamy.

[Muttley]

*strokes The Cure* :happy:

[Black Cherry]

*strokes The Cure* :happy:

Did you see them on the NME awards?

They were top!

And +1 to what Clunge had to say about Robert Smith's voice; hasn't changed a bit, which is more that I could say for Damon Albarn on the strength of his performance at the same event:stunned:

[Clunge]

Albarn's voice has always been abysmal live, even if you watch the earliest Blur live performances.

How are you anyway? :happy: It seems like ages since I last saw you post.

[Black Cherry]

Albarn's voice has always been abysmal live, even if you watch the earliest Blur live performances.

Have seen Blur twice and hadn't really thought so myself, not in comparison to some like Ricky Wilson or Ian Brown who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket live.

But that performance....if they did that outside my window at night I'd swear it was cats having it off.....

Nah, I'm in Belgium so I couldn't see it. I'm sure it was grand though.

How are you anyway? :happy: It seems like ages since I last saw you post.

Sure someone will have put it on youtube by now Andy, check it out, it was v good:happy:

And yes, it has been aaaaaaages since I posted. Been over on Facebook a lot recently, ashamed to admit it as I am...:$

[binarysonnets]

underneath the stars was so good live I actually cried. :facepalm:

I've given up on facebook recently. Don't know why really. I just can't be bothered anymore.

[Max]

Albarn's voice has always been abysmal live, even if you watch the earliest Blur live performances.

I dunno, I liked it during the Demon Days concert. Wasn't that bad.

[Davy]

Really need to see them live.
I so should've gone to the NME Big Gig this year :facepalm:

[Black Cherry]

And there was me, going to add you as a friend as well:rolleyes:

Same here, never seen them, nearing the top of the list of bands I must see at some point in my life. Bit too far from where I live to make it practicable, had hoped they would do a tour but seemingly not:(

Top ten Cure songs anyone? As I'm a list loving saddo, I'll start it off:D

3 The Lovecats
4 Primary
5 If only tonight we could sleep
6 One Hundred Years
7 Boys don't cry
8 In Between Days
9 Pictures of You

4 Underneath The Stars
5 A Forest
6 Plainsong
7 Push
8 Inbetween Days
9 One Hundred Years
10 Friday I'm In Love

[Davy]

I will have to have a good think about this list

[Clunge]

I'm afraid to say I still only have the best of The Cure :$.

I might start working back, getting all the individual albums until I don't need the best of.

[Black Cherry]

I'm afraid to say I still only have the best of The Cure :$.

I might start working back, getting all the individual albums until I don't need the best of.

Which 'best of' do you have because there are two- Galore which has their later stuff and Staring at the Sea which goes up to 1986? The latter is probably more consistent.

As for where to start, that rather depends on whether you like happy Cure or bleak Cure. You can't really go wrong with Disintegration (miseralby beautiful) or Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me which is pretty long, but has a bit of everything.

Really need to get a bit more of their back catalogue myself too, especially their earlier stuff.

[Clunge]

I have the 2003 Greatest Hits.

[Black Cherry]

Wasn't aware they had another best of out.

Maybe before diving into individual albums the other two, potentially more comprehensive best ofs might be worth exploring, Staring at the Sea especially isn't a greatest hits and includes some early stuff from albums rather than just the singles.

[Davy]

I have a few of their CD's. Think 4 or 5, one being their Paris live album (which I found quite slow and boring to listen to), so I don't recommend getting them unless if you really must.

[sparkle19]

Saw them last week at the awards, and the Big Big....Fucking Wow!!!
Absolute class, and put so many modern bands to shame! Ive read that some people were disappointed with the Big Gig set list...apparently they wanted all the hits...well, I would say thats what they did, if you are a big Cure fan, then that set list was perfection!
Supposed to be doing uni work, but instead been watching old Cure videos over and over...god, how gorgeous was Robert! Actually, I still find him strangely attractive now :):$

[Velouria]

I think the only Cure album that I'm missing is Wild Mood Swings.

As for albums to get, to give a good overview of everything I'd get Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me for a good mixture of styles, Disintegration for it's symphonic bleakness, and Head On the Door for awesome jangly pop type stuff. I also think that Three Imaginary Boys is worth getting, so you get their early stuff like the title track, Grinding Halt, 10:15 Saturday Night and Fire In Cairo.

If you are feeling the need for angry and dark then try Pornography (my favourite along with Head On the Door). Faith and 17 Seconds are pretty miserable in tone but each contain great stuff. The Top is a pretty hard album to get into, but it does contain the classic Shake Dog Shake.
Japanese Whispers contains the electronic pop stuff like The Walk and Let's Go To Bed, along with Lovecats.

Doing this has made me realise that I've failed to rip Wish to my computer.

Did you find all those albums boring or just the live one? Having had or listened to most Cure albums over the years I wouldn't say that you oughtn't get them, but live albums unless you're really quite a fan can be disappointing.

So wished I had been able to get to that gig:'( They were never going to please every last person in the audience, when you have a back catalogue the size of theirs there are always going to be things left out that you'd love them to have played; I've experienced that with bands who have only had a couple of albums, never mind 18 or whatever number it is now.

And yes, Fat Bob was quite a cutey in his day....recently saw the Lovecats video and felt a bit funny and was pleased to be sitting down at the time:$ Curious considering I never really have had a thing for him either...

Funny you say that about The Top as I have had the same experience with it and I thought prior to listening to it that this was going to be the Cure album for me for some reason. I used to have Wish and for reasons I really can't explain, I got rid of it. Can't imagine why as I liked it.

Oh well, they have loads of Cure albums in the 2 for £10 promo at HMV at the mo so I got Faith and Pornography and replaced my knacked copy of Japanese Whispers:happy:

[Muttley]

I have the 2003 Greatest Hits.

Yeah, that's a pretty poor album really :(
Like Black Cherry already said the combination of Staring At The Sea and Galore is a good stepping stone. That's how I started anyway.

I really love Bloodflowers for some reason. Everyone keeps saying it's a difficult album to get into but it was just setting the trend for other bands who are popular today like 65 Days Of Static and Explosions In The Sky. I'm not saying it's a post rock album but I see lots of similarities in how that album was conceived and how the albums of aforementioned bands sound.

[Davy]

Just the live ones. They just aren't anything special I feel.

5 Charlotte Sometimes
6 Just Like Heaven
7 Close To Me

I spent the whole afternoon at work listening to them ,it was fun :happy:

[plastic passion]

Glad someone brought this thread back up.
I watched snipits of the big gig and awards on youtube.
Simon Gallup is such a fox. Always.
Underneath the Stars is incredibly beautiful live so I can totally get the emotional thing.

I'm flying over to see them in Las Vegas next month. Quite fortunate I seen them 6 times last year and caught their secret club gig in LA. wow!!

top 10:
hungry ghost , from the edge of the deep green sea, cold, just like heaven, faith, going nowhere, high, open, primary, shake dog shake.
But this list changes everyday..

[Rainbow]

I've been listening to Wild Mood Swings, what a great album.
It doesn't TELL me how I should be feeling, but brings out my own emotion - this is what I need. :D

3 hours set......that would be idea of heaven, The Cure for 3 hours! :happy: Saw them play a 90minute set at the Big Gig this year, and it was a dream come true to see them live. Just pure awesomness.

3 hours set......that would be idea of heaven, The Cure for 3 hours! :happy: Saw them play a 90minute set at the Big Gig this year, and it was a dream come true to see them live. Just pure awesomness.

Or 3 1/2 like they did in Paris last year.

plainsong, prayers for rain, a strange day, alt.end, the walk, the end of the world, lovesong, to wish impossible things, pictures of you, lullaby, from the edge of the deep green sea, kyoto song, the only one, push, how beautiful you are..., friday i'm in love, inbetween days, just like heaven, primary, a boy i never knew, shake dog shake, never enough, wrong number, one hundred years, disintegration,
E1: at night, m, play for today, a forest,
E2: the lovecats, let's go to bed, freakshow, close to me, why can't i be you?,
E3: three imaginary boys, fire in cairo, boys don't cry, jumping someone else's train, grinding halt, 10:15 saturday night, killing an arab,
E4: faith

Such a great night! Robert wanted to continue playing, too.

2 1/2 to 3 hours is pretty standard for them these days, though. You'll get a sort of standard core set of songs with anywhere from 5-10 songs being rotated in and out. My advice would be to see more than one show. Heck, see more than 2. Go for 13 like I did during the 4tour! :dance:

[sparkle19]

Bringing this thread back up, well, because its The Cure. :happy: They make me happy.

[Clunge]

That has to be by far the worst line of any South Park episode.

Don't get me wrong, I like The Cure. (although I can't stand Robert Smith), and I sure enjoy Barbara Streisand being poked fun of and getting her ass kicked, but that episode was just awful.

[Howince]

A Cure thread! :dance:
I'm an Australian and the first time I payed attention to the Cure (despite growing up with my parents playing it) was NYE 2007, just AFTER they effing toured :(

Robert's music has an effect on me that no music EVER has - that includes Muse and Franz Ferdinand, my 2nd and equal 1st favourite bands. I feel like crying whenever I hear Inbetween Days or Close to Me, and this feeling of elation just flows through me :happy:

My favourite album would have to be HotD, then Pornography, Disintegration, Faith and KM KM KM. The Top is also psychedelically awesome and A Forest is my favourite song to play with my friends.

I just hope they come back to Aus soon - looking at those Mexican setlists before, I counted 36 or so songs on the first one! Value for money or what?

Did anyone here go to the Trilogy concerts? They would have been amazing :supersad:

My top ten would be
Lovecats
A Forest
Inbetween Days
The Blood
Disintegration
Pictures of You
Faith
The Figurehead
A Strange Day
Push

in no particular order

Right so for some reason I've become a bit obsessed with The Cure :LOL: I've heard bits and pieces from them before and really liked them, but I've had various songs of theirs stuck in my head for the past couple of days and now I NEED MOAR.

Pretty much everyone will say get Disintegration. :LOL: It's an incredible album.

As well as Disintegration, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, Pornography and Wish are probably my favourite albums.

So that's my recommendation :chuckle:

:yesey: Will do.

I've just put Pornography on and from the first 5 seconds I thought.. Yes. This is good. :yesey:

[robjemetalmuse]

love them!!!:D

I'd say to start with Pornography for the dark stuff, Head On the Door for the light stuff, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me for a good mixture of the two, and Disintegration for the epic scale.

Later on be sure to get Faith and Seventeen Seconds too, to complete the gloom trilogy with Pornography. Wish also is pretty good.

If you want their spiky early stuff like Killing An Arab then Three Imaginary Boys is for you, plus the title track is ace. Japanese Whispers and The Top are a mixed bag, but they both have a couple of great songs. It might be worth investigating Join the Dots as it collects together some splendid B Sides and covers.

Concert is a very good live album.

Sadly, Wish is probably the last Cure album that I really liked. Bloodflowers bored the tits off me, and I've only played The Cure and 4:13 Dream a couple of times. To this day I still haven't bought Wild Mood Swings. :chuckle:

If anybody ever wants some Siouxsie and the Banshees advice, I can bore you comprehensively on that too. :chuckle:

^ I agree with pretty much all that. Except for one detail. For some reason I (admit unusually!) love The Cure's self titled 2004 album. I just find it strangely hypnotising. There's something about the sound I love - quite raw, rocky, full, and almost psychedelic in places, like a band loosely jamming to some wonderfully intense and unhinged results. It's definitely not their very best, and is patchy towards the end, but it probably sneaks into my personal favourite list at around 5 or 6. Although why "Truth Goodness and Beauty" is only found on the UK release is mystifying, as it's one of the best songs on it.

But anyway, as much as I love the best of their pop stuff, its the darker, twisted, atmospheric Gothic stuff which really does it for me. So Pornography for the swirling distorted guitars and anger, and Disintegration for the slowly drifting synth dreams. :yesey::happy:

[Milky Joe]

I put itunes on shuffle once and heard Us or Them from the self-titled, and thought it was amazing :happy:

[Impulse 101]

The extended mix of Fascination Street off of Mixed Up is my favorite Cure song of all time, followed closely by the studio version of Charlotte Sometimes.

They are one of the best rock bands of all time and have influenced so many groups in so many genres that it's hard to keep track of it all.

It's well nice to see this thread alive again :LOL:

The Cure mean a hell of a lot to me. They were like my first venture into 'proper' music when I was like..14? Will always love them.

[Velouria]

Gah, where is the promised Cure In Orange DVD? :(

[MattXXI]

One Hundred Years is fun to dance to. That is all.

[sparkle19]

Gah, where is the promised Cure In Orange DVD? :(

Gah I know right :(

[Velouria]

Gah I know right :(

I really want to re-live my squeeing Cure fangirl days of the early 90s. :( :chuckle:

[.BleedTheSame.]

My mum met Robert Smith way back when they first started out. I'm so proud of her.

I like the colour.

First announced performance in 2 years!

BESTIVAL - 10th SEPTEMBER, 2011
ROBIN HILL COUNTRY PARK, ISLE OF WIGHT

Being touted as either their only European show of 2011, or only European festival of 2011.

[seregon]

Argh I've wanted to go to bestival for ages

[Milky Joe]

"European festival exclusive"

If that said "UK festival exclusive" I'd be pissing myself with excitement because that effectively means they're playing gigs in the UK.

As it is, my fingers are crossed.

[Rainbow]

Too far away. :(

[Sylvie]

Come to Europe Mariko ;)

[Rainbow]

Come to Europe Mariko ;)Are you going?
I'd think about it, but it seems you have to camp.

[Sylvie]

I'm not into festivals... especially huge ones... erk!
but I would do anything to see you dear! :D

[Rainbow]

I'm not into festivals... especially huge ones... erk!I'm not into festivals either, especially to see the band I really like. I hope they'll come to North America.

[Sylvie]

Yes, if they only play 3 hours, it will be fine for me! :D

[James.]

Reflections gig at the Royal Albert Hall on November 15th. On sale tomorrow. Do want, so much.

Flipping heck, £100 for standing? :stunned:

[Milky Joe]

FUCKING DICKS!

I've been waiting to see this band for so long, then they decide to play on the same day as Alkaline Trio AND The Smashing Pumpkins (both of whom are massively influenced by the Cure), and when I decide I want to go see The Cure most, the prices turn out to be like that?!

I love Three Imaginary Boys, but it's not worth it; I'll wait until they do a proper gig :(

[James.]

Epic fail. RAH website had a queue of over 500 when I logged on at 8:50. Got onto website at 9:30 and of course tickets had all gone. Other ticket sites sold out within minutes. Had a decent upper circle ticket in my basket on theticketfactory.com but had inadvertently added a £75 ticket as well. Had to delete the whole order and when I tried again the 'cheaper' (not that £50 to be miles away is cheap) tickets were gone. :(
Boys Don't Cry? Well this one is going to now. :(

[miss_meadows]

Keep on trying!!! I've managed to get a standing ticket just a few minutes ago!

(for 100:$)

[Claire]

I've got a 'cheap' (yeah right) seat apparently. I've never managed to see them before for various reasons, so I guess it's worth it...even if Bob is a right miserable sod these days.
