I've been listening to the Cure again recently, particularly 'Pornography' (my favourite Cure album), 'Faith', and 'Concert', and the B-sides from 'Standing on a Beach'.
This music takes me back to when I first listened to Pornography as a 13 year old at school. The album still sounds as good now as it did back then.
Anyone else here a fan of The Cure's early stuff?

The albums you have highlighted are down my less favourite cure spectrum tbh. I love three imaginary boys though, think all the songs on that are great. As for the next 4 albums the only songs that stand out really are: play for today, a forest, drowning man, a strange day, hanging garden, one hundred years caterpillar and shake dog shake.
Everything after that is just genius. Cant stop going on about their 3 hour and 30 minue shows either!
My favourite alltime albums have to be disintegration, bloodflowers or the self title.

I can't believe this album is that old, man time flys. I do remember reading the lyrics to *Pictures Of You* this date (oh what a date) as I took her to a Ziggy Marley concert.
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel
Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go
Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But i never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But i never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you
After that I then went crazy and went out with her younger sister.
Peace

I have not listened to many pre 2000 shows, but 2000+ their songs are just so incredibly amazing. Shake Dog Shake is just another great one.

"The Hanging Garden" pure machine gun..
Killing an Arab"(the best version
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

I love 'The Drowning Man' from Concert - although I had it as a b-side on a cassette tape, whereas I think now it comes as an extra on the newer release of 'Faith'.
Love the song, beautiful song, great song.

I wouldn't go that far.
I couldn't. Unless you deleted about 1000 other songs from existence beforehand, including the entire opus of Dylan, The Stones, Pearl Jam, e.t.c.
Still, each to their own.
Also, you'd have Rolling Stone magazine to answer to: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/500songs - they place it at number 278. Personally, I don't think it even deserves to make the top 1000.
As for Pictures of You ... something got taken away, just a bit , when they released Letter to Elise ... always felt those two songs were a bit too close.
