I have just recently started to listen to The Cure. Just curious to how everyone perceives them and what you think of their music. I really dont know anything about them besides what is on their website and a quick wikipedia search.
The less you know, the more you believe.

I am an old-timer, and have been listening to the cure since the early 80s.
They were one of the biggest bands of the early 90s.....they played 2 shows at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
There is a compilation of their early work, called "Staring at the Sea"....its a great intro to their old songs, which were much more basic then their later work.
There was a band called LOVE AND ROCKETS who were similar to the Cure....they have an alim called "Express"...I recommend it!
I wore out two copies of their self-titled tape.
Yeah "Staring at the Sea" is the CD that was recommended to me. What is exciting about getting into an older band is that I wont have to wait 4 years to get another album(2002-2006!).

They were a great band....the first time I saw them, an unknown Jane's Addiction opened!
I saw L & R's farewell show at the Roxy in L.A.....they did "Yin and Yang and the Flowerpot" in the encore...great sing!
Gay, as in they liked people of the same sex?
Man I could go on like forever, is always hard for me to tell what's my favorite band, but The Cure easily could take that name any day... great lyrics, great music, great attitude and my friend Robert is DA MAN!!!
I couldn't live without them... seeing them for the first time in 2004 at the three concerts -each one around 3 hours long- really changed me, is hard to explain, after so many years waiting, having Robert and the guys there playing all the classics and a bunch of rarities was some sort of religious experience. They're one of the greatest, through the years I just became disappointed with some of the bands I loved in the 80's (namely u2), but The Cure, they always get it, they never fail to move me, they... well, Robert is a fucking great artist... I'd really like to hear them now that Porl Thompson is back in the group.
That being said, something that not too many people mention is the huge direction change that The Cure took after Robert played with Siouxsie and The Banshees, the great influence that this collaboration had for The Cure's future should be remarked because sadly it seems nowadays Siouxsie and the Banshees are a pretty underrated band.

This is funny, 'cause in many interviews Robert has commented how when he played with Siouxsie and the Banshees the guys at the group really liked to go to gay bars and he didn't feel so comfortable with that, even more 'cause the other members accused him of being uptight and lacking punk attitude for having the same girlfriend like since forever... recently he said "now that Siouxsie lives with Budgie on a nice house at France, I guess she's finally happy for finding love" or something like that.
