What do you think about them?

I looked 'em up after seeing them on Korn's MTV Unplugged. It took a bit to get past the "80'sishness" of the videos, but I've found I appreciate & empathize with the music quite a bit. My favorite songs so far are "Wrong Number" and "Lullaby".

Has anyone else realized they liked an "old school" group?

if you tell anyone this i will hurt you. i like the cure, and some of the smiths. its like joy division on ludes and without mckay's commanding voice. its like ambiviolant punk rock.

I love The Cure. Robert Smith is one of the best musicians ever. I like and actively listen to at least half of every album they've ever made, which is a feat only accomplished by Led Zeppelin and Type O Negative. The lyrics are touching, sometimes stark and cold and the music is everything from angst-ridden to euphoric. I highly recommend them and their work to anyone who likes music. You will find something you like there.

By the by, you can get their singles on 2 discs, and their live stuff is also amazing.

i only actually OWN the greatest hits of the cure, but i have borrowed albums off friends and i hope to buy them. theres so much stuff i like its hard affording it all. plus i like stuff that's not generally mainstream so its hard to get ahold of.

i find i'm buying less and less cds now, i tend to just listen to music on youtube.

but yeah, i love the cure. i listen to their cds alot in my car. theyre happy and nice to listen to when you're stuck in gridlock to stop you from jumping out and beating some wanker in a chelsea tractor senseless because he almost run over your bonnet when he tried to cut you up and you refused since you're in a car capable of outacellerating his bus of a vehicle.

rant over.

i'd have to say my favourite songs... are....

let's go to bed, why can't i be you, just say yes, wrong number and my most favourite cure track of all, has to be "lovesong"

stereotypical and common? i dunno. but theyre my favourites.

Yeah I feel you on that it's good music to chill out with. Even the more melancholy songs are soothing to the ear. Smith really expresses a lot of the feelings we all have, and sometimes hide. And it's good to hear them come from someone else's ruby lips

I always knew you were gay

The Cure had thier time in the Eighties. All of thier 90's stuff is weak. Joy Division was one of the best bands of thier time.
