The cure

so I used to think the Cure were a fucking joke-mainly because I heard all these jokes in where The Cure where the punchline but anyways, and my friend lent me "Bloodflowers" and that record bored the shit out of me but a while ago after going on an Uncut Magazine kick and reading a splatter of positive things about their self titled album from like 04 I decided to check it out, and well it was really actually kind of good. Anyways I went out and got disintegration and that was cool too so I did the greatest hits thing, and well I think they're cool. Shit there is no point to the thread other than as a singles band they are pretty wicked...and uhh I got this great deal on a twelve pack Sleeman's earlier tonight so I've got drunk and started writing threads about the cure

    Thanks again.

    Lullaby is cool and all I will give you that but The end of the world just came on the ole IPOD here and that along with Love Song are so fucking beautiful (Love Song's bassline is top ten for me)

    I only have two of their albums, Disintegration and Faith, but they're both very good. Disintegration is an all time favourite of mine - One of my Desert Island top 10.

    I can't believe bloodflowers bored you dude, It's one of my favs. I'd check out Wish or maybe a greatest hits.

    I think Disintegration is probably my favorite album of all time - not a bad song on it (personal fav is the title track)

    .....the trilogy of albums (Pornography, Disintegration and Bloodflowers) are all incredible

    .....however my favorite Cure song is "From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea" off Wish (another incredible album)

    .....I have their s/t new(ish) album but I havent really spent much quality time with it. I own all their albums - they have an incredibly impressive catalogue

    .....if you ever get the chance to see them live - do it. I saw them on the Bloodflowers tour and they played for over 3 hours, it was INCREDIBLE (also saw them a couple years back on the Curiosa Festival tour with Interpol and Mogwai - an amazing day of music)

    Yeah I meant to say that i've been meaning to give it a second chance for a while I think I might have just not been in the mood for it or not ready to listen to teh cure at the time

    I still listen to "The Head on the Door". I think one of my favorite Cure songs has got to be "The Blood" from that same album.

    I finally bought the Trilogy dvd today. So I'll probably be in the mood to talk about it tomorrow or the next day.

    I love the Cure. Disintegration is a fucking masterpiece. There's some boring stuff in there but plenty of fantastic music.

    'Close to Me' is my favorite Cure song. I just fucking love how sexy it is.

    'Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me' is probably my favorite album though. I just got into them a couple years ago, but I can say they are one of my favorite bands now.

    Seventeen Seconds and Disintegration are my favorite Cure albums. The Trilogy is obviously incredible too. The "Greatest Hits" compilation is one of the great mysteries of our time, considering MOST of the stuff on there is not only far from their best, but many songs on there weren't even popular.

    That is the absolute WORST choice someone can make looking to explore The Cure. The most accesible album for newcomers has to be Disintegration. It has songs that seem to represent everything The Cure is...

    The Cure are one of those bands with lots of great songs just sort of scattered across their catalog, even beyond the singles there is all kinds of good stuff, you just have to have the patience to dig through the catalog and find it.

    And Disintegration is a masterpiece, Plainsong is easily one of my favorite songs ever.
