Why do u guys hate the cure so much, they are my favouritist ever band hahahah Robert Smith is such a talented songwriter and singer, his cover of love will tear us apart is amazin !! go easy on Robbo i met him is is a really nice guy and very talented and so is the rest of the band
besides peter hook has been to a cure concert so he musnt hate them that much.
i agree with you, mate. i've always liked the tall-haired ones myself. but i warn you, you'll most likely get some cureophobes on this thread!
I've typed it before and I will type it again:
The Cure is awesome! On some levels more talented than New Order, and not as interesting on other levels. Any person that can say they love New Order and hates The Cure is confused and condusing to others. I am not saying that they are the exactly the same, but they do have a lot of the same things going for them. I love them both! I have been thinking of completing my Cure collection because my New Order collection is looking pretty good. My Police collection is done and my Echo collection is doing well too, so I think it is time to put some more coin in Robert's pocket.

Yeah, your pic needs to be cut down - just put a caption at the bottom of it that says something like: "Robert - not actual size"
Strange to relate but I actually got into the Cure before i even first listened to New Order (as a fourteen year old fifth former), and then I thought it was New Order who were ripping off the Cure! (please don't shoot me). But my favourite albums of theirs were evntually 17 Seconds, Head On The Door and Disintegration. I can't believe i was only 5 years old when A Forest first came out!
I've always said, If Joy division or New Order had never existed, The Cure would be my favorite band.
yeah, i think i listened to the cure first, as well. and i'm the same age as you, dave, (nearly 28, though!), so i was quite a young lass when i started my new wave phase back in the mid-80s (11 or 12). i didn't think NO were ripping them off, i just thought they were all part of the same music 'thing', with depeche mode, echo, the smiths, and basically anything that came from england that wasn't def leppard. this was after i got over my SERIOUS duran duran 'moment'.:D
I am the ONLY black guy living in south central los angeles that knows who the cure are. I'll be driving down the ghetto streets in my low rider while playing "The Love Cats" really loud while the crips and the bloods would look at me and say "Yo n*gga! What's that bullshit you playin? Turn that shit off 'cuz!" And I'll just reply "Fuck off wanker!!!"
go, isamu! play that cure as loud as you want! i have a black friend from harlem who gets the same sh*t all the time in her neighbourhood. i used to live in harlem, but of course, i'm white, so it's okay for me to listen to NO/the cure, etc. but for tahira...what! that's ridiculous, man. anybody can listen to whatever music they damn well please!
heheheh turn it up well loud and make everyone listen to it, i love makin people listen to my music.
hehehe i wore my cure concert t shirt in town last week and some random girl came up to me and hugged me coz of it lol =) she liked the cure also lol ;) :) :)
I do like the cure, but c'mon guy, this thread is definatly off -topic and your avatar is very obnoxious. SHRINK IT DOWN!!!!! AHH! besides. I'm sure there are cure message boards out there to talk about how much we like the cure. go to one of those or move this topic to the general forum.
awurgh! i can't breathe! it's so squished here! shrink mr. robert smith plese! now! his hair is starting to poke me!

Smith is BIGGER than you MR WALLET!HEHE:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
I've got an absolutely wonderful photo of 'Mr. Smith' looking even ropier than normal, that was taken at a 'Cure' soundcheck around 1983/84. If I find it, I'll post it ha ha ha ha 
I decided that the Cure are a bit too boring and have sold all my original vinyl LPs, 7" & 12" singles and 7 or 8 white label promos. And yes, that's NOTHING I regret...
Got to admit, the Cure don't really stand the test of time.
(Sorry, Wen!)
Hey, if it ain't cool enough for a rassilin' cd, it's not cool enough for me!.....I'm sorry, I don't know what brought that on. 
Anywho, I love the Cure. A lot. But I don't spend every waking hour searching for various bootlegs in which Robert styles his hair and Lol Tolhurst is audibly hocking lugies at the others because they laugh when he "plays" keyboards 
. It's JD/NO first and foremost, with Robbie and pals second, or third. Anyway, you get the picture
ok, i'm moving even further off topic here, but mr. hooky's wallet, aren't you that portly guy from fatboy slim's CD cover?
heheh i shrunk it, is it better guys ?
i wud love to hear rob cover true faith, he wud be amazin
hey i do love new order, i have to i live in manchester they are amazin !!
but my loyalty is to the cure first and foremost!
oh yeh one of my friends sold beer to peter hook in an off license about 5 years ago he said he smelt bad lol. it was an oddbins lol
oh yeh wots a hogie ? lol crazy americans
Five reasons not to like the Cure:
Sorry, it's the truth!
Five reasons to like The Cure:
"A Forest", "Let's Go To Bed" and "In Between Days" are very good songs. Half of the singles compilation whose name I've forgotten "Staring At The Sea ?" is good.
Recently though they have not lived up to the standards they set 20 years ago. A bit like the Bunnymen.

What about Killing an Arab ??? surely their best piece of work

In fact Bunnymen's Evergreen is the second best comeback album ever(GR being the number one, o'course!). Flowers is a bit shit, though...
Not this imperial ole chestnut AGAIN!!!!
