The Cure
- Thread starter Robder
- Start date
Love the Cure, but despite having a couple of goth friends never got into the fashion so I've no embarrassing photos of me with black eyeliner to share.
Their pre-90s albums are really good IMO. I think the comparatively poppy 'Head on the Door' is my fave.

my fave band of all time
able to go from dark dark music to light pop
my fave albums are
Pornography, Disintegration and Bloodflowers
fave song is A Forest
i got the Festival 05 DVD for Xmas but not watched it all yet
Lullaby in its Extended remix form was a staple of Ibiza in 1989 - Oakenfold put it on a Ibizan Classics disc for Pete Tongs Essential Selection CDs
also.....they are headlining the Ultra Festival in Miami for the WMC this year (friday i think)

Have you got the trilogy one yet? It's supposed to be better - I think it's amazing!!!
Have heard mixed things about the festival one but I'll probably get it anyway - what do you reckon to it?

the Trilogy one is more polished and is amazing basically down to the fact that the 3 albums played are amazing (though special note for the 2 encore tracks - fantastic)
only skimmed through the odd track on the Festival one - its more rough and ready, a mix of fans, crew and official camera work. its a better representation of The Cure now - with the guitar heavy/no keyboards set up - good plus point is the excellent guitar work of Porl Thompson
i wish that they'd release the Staring at the Sea / Play Out / Picture Show DVDs cos they had good unseen footage on them
Oh I know!
I nearly died when I saw that - it's the most amazing finale to an epic 3.5 hour musical feast eh? Gave me the shivers and everything...Christ almighty!
Love the fact that it was filmed in Berlin too. 8) Perfect. 8)

HUGE fan of the Cure
Robert Smith = genius
Favorite albums? Probably Faith, Disintegration, Pornography.
Interesting how people named Bloodflowers among their favorites. Despite it being the supposed 3rd part of the trilogy, I never could really get into it... The later album The Cure was so much better.
Favorite song? Can't narrow that one down.
Just Like Heaven
Faith
Charlotte Sometimes
A Forest
The Hanging Garden
Close to Me (original and Mixed Up version)
Hell, as Robder says, love them all!
Seen the boys in concert 3 times... would love to see them again.

seen them 3 times on the Wish tour - Barrowlands, Glasgow & 2 x Edinburgh Playhouse
but the Edinburgh ones were without Simon Gallup so it wasn't quite as good
also went to the Great Xpectations festival in London - cracking set that day, full of surprise tracks played
Friday I'm in love

Robder and Robbie, Nouvelle Vague has a really good bossanova version of "the forest"
Hola Silv * waves*
I love Nouvelle Vague so much, so clever and camp.
