The Cure are godlike genius

According to the NME...

They won that price (which NO won a few years back) this year...

what's next???

Mike?

I'll give him a ring and let him know.

Anyone got his number?

Think New Order will hand their one back in protest?

CONGRATS TO ROBERT and all past and present members

Heard they will be playing the NME awards in London in Feb followed by O2 Arena date the next day

C'mon Mike, you gotta give it up for them this time..they've joined an elite group with NO/JD..hopefully next year will be Depeche

Well, if he hadn't already had a seizure BEFORE he read that.......

fuck his phone number, I need to dig out his address and get an ambulance round there to check on him.

Just Like Heaven

was it mike who had the pic of RobertSmith, with "Will fuck for hairbrush" wrote on it as his avatar? or someone else. that was one of my fave avatars whoever it was

firstborn is dressing up as mr smith for halloween. absolutely true.

I went to school with a lad who looked just like fat bob. No matter what he did with his hair it would spring up and look back-combed. Somewhat rotund, he was pale with really red lips and dark stary eyes and no matter how he dressed he would look scruffy. Goffs used to come up to him and start chatting, complementing him on the way he looked and he got more than a fair share of abuse from normal people. The funny thing was he HATED the Cure and was a bit of a lad himself. Really confident around people and a very clever guy. He loved football, always chasing girls, drank loads of beer, wouldn't back down in a row. Just had the misfortune to look like a navel-gazing, sensitive, shy goffboy with a poor hairdo and bad makeup.

"Oi Smiffy", I used to shout at him. "Fuck off" he would reply.

Oh what laughs we had

They deserve that and more. Congrats to Bob and Co.

Pie like Bastards more like!

Apparently Mike may have to step down as a mod after it emerged that he and another party (believed to be a bald Chorlian), left messages on fat bob's answerphone claiming to have done unspeakable things with his gerbil, "solitude".

The way 'Disentegration' fades out in the last 30 seconds or so is very well executed. Brilliant instrumental sections.

Robert is great, but that self titled album was crap

They deserve it. The Cure have made some brilliant albums and written some brilliant songs. And they are a brilliant live act, really really good in concert.

Are they as innovative as New Order? No. But in thier way, they are just as good.

Never understodd the rift between Cure, New Order, and Depechr Mode fans here in the UK.

In the US, if you like one of those three groups, you tend to like all of them.

I like all three of them. Seen all three of them live too.

Yeah, Brilliant!

Pity that good bands recieve these dubious honours many years past their sell-by date. (NO included of course). Worst memory of The Cure was The Brit Awards circa 1990? Band of the year IIRC even though they had no record out that year then performed the gruesome 'Never Enough' which was greeted by the award host, Roger Daltrey 'that's what I love - real rock'n'roll' :barf: Saying that, they were 'honoured' with 5 star album reviews from NME for their first four albums - rightly so. There were moments way back when where The Cure's music was more sublime than any other. Great respect to them, it does irke me when they are constantly slated here but I can live with it.

Good! So, will Morrissey induct them??

Utter Bollocks

1st album - just about ok but seventeen seconds faith pornography disingtration - bloody fantastic.miles above the mark and always will be wish - ermm ok ish

i gave up a bit after that

rest of cure very so so. what a great act in general and great live as well some classic singles in there as well 1979-1990 alone deserves this award no actually A FOREST alone makes them worthy of the award

Anyone listened to the new one? 4:13 Dream (WTF w/ the title? )

Picked it up only b/c saw it for a Ten Spot at BestBuy. Not that bad! Brighter and almost more "bouncy" than anything we've heard in awhile. Daresay first thing I've remotely liked since "Wish".

BTW, when are they giving "Disintegration" the ole 2 CD remastering/re-release? That would be fantastic.

Sometime this year supposedly, I'd looked it up on google meself, and apparently thats what was said. In interviews I'd read, before 4:13 Dream, Robert talked about working on the remaster. I also heard wish might be remastered in 5.1.

just heard the new album, much better than previos efforts
