    I do! :)

    They're really good at writing moody, depressed songs! :D

    Everything about them just fits...the look, the guitar notes...it's as though they've found equilibrium with their music.

    I also like how they kind of shun the fame, similar to umm...umm

    What's your favorite Cure album? I would have to say mine would have to be Pornography. I first listened to that album when I was a kid in school. It was the first Cure album I ever bought. I think it was somewhere around 1982 or so. Man, am I old!

    There are four that compete for favorite at my house: Disintegration, Wild mood swings, wish, and bloodflowers.

    Even though I love "One Hundred Years" I have to say that Wild Mood Swings is my favorite album.

    Child of the '80s as well...ha! Prepared me for PJ.

    Same here. I have it but don't listen that much to it. I own more albums from this band than any other band. I don't have Mixed Up or their recent self titled album yet. I got into them 6-7 years ago when I started college when I went through my classic alternative (Cure,Smiths,Depeche,U2,Psych Furs,Police,Duran Duran,etc.) phase. Limp Bizkit and Backstreet Boys just didn't do it for me back then. :(

    Does anyone else have Carnage Visors on tape like I do?

    Kiss Me (3X) is my favorite since it mixes their Pornography sound and their poppier Head On The Door sound with 70-80 minutes of sonic greatness. :D

    I adore them, cant wait for a new album.

    I freakin' love the Cure and would love to see them live someday. My friend picked me up Mixed Up and Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me up at a garage sale for $2 a piece. What a great find. I love Mixed Up, but my favorite would have to be Disintegration. Their latest self titled one is pretty sweet, too!! Good thread! Much love for the Cure here!

    old-school cure fan here!

    Staring At the Sea, Disintegration, and Wish are favorites...

    It's taken me a LONG time to get into Wild Mood Swings - it's on my MP3 player now, and i'm starting to really like some of the songs....

    But I haven't bought a Cure album since.... can anyone recommend a newer one to get?

    My Cure collection is ridiculous! I'm really into them. I listen to Faith and Disintegration more than anything, so I'd go with those as my favs.

    I love Cure cover versions, I found some chick on Soulseek who like had about ten versions of every single Cure song, it were great. Sadly I lost track of her halfway through downloading

    Oh my god. I neeeeeeeeed this. How did you get this? I will pm you to find out.

    And although I am new to this forum (have been lurking a while, waiting for my activation to follow through for a week or so and was using my friends account Bravejamriot in the meantime), I must admit that even though I love PJ a great deal, The Cure is by far my favorite band of all time. And Disintegration is my favorite album of all time. I love and appreciate everything else they do but that album is just something else from beginning to end.
    I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah

    I couldn't agree more!
    I've loved the Cure since I was little. :) I think my favorite album would be Head on the Door,... maybe tied with Disintegration. Goodstuff. :D

    'Bloodflowers' and 'Wish' yeah!...although i always tend to wind up listening to the 'Show' or the 'Galore' album...~

    Just for the record, I actually meant SEVENTEEN SECONDS and Disintegration...though Faith is great.
