Respect The Cure

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!

dunno know their music very well...but that pic is a bit big...might wanna shrink it.

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!

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 ;) :) :)

Smith is BIGGER than you MR WALLET!HEHE:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

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

a hoagie? it's a baguette with cold meat and salad and condiments inside.

Five reasons not to like the Cure:

1. The Lovecats
2. Caterpillar
3. Friday, I'm in love
4. Lovesong
5. That awful remix album!

Sorry, it's the truth!

"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...

bollocks...

The cure? who?

There's 3 or 4 good tracks on Evergreen, true, same as every Bunnymen album. Apart from Flowers.

they are still good, that single ... cut here... it was amazing i really like it, very nice lyrics.

bloodflowers was ok, maybe someday was the best song on that, it is a really good song

i watched a documentry on the bunnymen on granada about 2 months ago, it was about a comeback concert, it was interesting

I have to join Sami on this one. I downloaded a few of their songs mentioned in this thread to see how the band sounds, and they're not that bad. Dunno why some of you say they sound like NO, cuz I don't think they do. Reminds me of how NIN fans complained that Filter sounded just like NIN. (Filter is awesome btw.)

Plus, I don't judge a band based on how successful they were at selling albums. Music is what counts.

To those of you who disagree with me, well... :moon:

What I hate is people who see one band or artist as being the be-all and end-all of music, and a lot of rabid Cure fans seem that way (by "rabid" I mean pasty brats always dressed in black who hover around their own seperate table at lunch, trying to defeat one another at a spirited card game of "Magic: The Gathering" and who always cringe when a jock walks by). It's like Morrissey: Love the music, hate the fans.....

Sorry to respond to my own post, but did I mention their body heair? Excessive dandruff?

Funny, but true - don't forget that there are plenty of NO fans that are just as Rabid for them - they don't paint their faces, but they sit in class puttin' back Pernod like M&M's, then they pass out, fall out of their desks, and then vomit on your shoes... talk about Anarchy.

People need to remain broad and open in their musical tastes. I love many different bands, and I have many favorites. U2, New Order, Joy Division, OMD, The Cure, Depeche Mode, They Might Be Giants, Art Of Noise - they are all good. Don't listen to one or two albums by a 20 year old band and start making blanket generalizations. Look at how The Cure and New Order and U2 have drastically changed their sound over time.

Thanks Shug, I....hold on a second...

"Stu, you can't use the Golden Wizard to beat my Dark Monkey of The Amazon poison! Look at the offical rules, dumbass! You must first cross the chasm of Eternal Wailing and defile the Virgin Princess before your wizard is truely powerful!"

Okay, I'm back. As I was saying.......

Don't forget that you must be circumsized with the Bronze Longsword of the Perpetual Rising

I don't really care how the fans of a certain music group act. I don't try to be the bands that I listen to; I try to be myself, period. This is what I think has been a major problem with music in general: if you dress like a homey, you're into rap. If you dress like a grunge bag, you're into alternative. If you dress all in black, you're into heavy metal or whatever. I don't see music as a fashion show. That's why my musical tastes span a wide variety of genres. And if people think its strange, or that I'm trying to be a wannabe, then this to them: :finger: . It's my money that I'm using to pay for the album.

That's why I don't participate in musical band wars.

One of my cousins believes that, if Billy Corgan doesn't like the band or artist, he shouldn't.

i went to a siouxsie & the banshees concert back in high school and EVERY girl there looked like siouxsie and EVERY guy looked like robert smith except for my friends and i. we got all these weird looks, and could barely see the band over all the high hair. gee, god forbid we should be into a band and not dress a certain way. conundrum: if everyone was dressing to be 'different', wouldn't that make them all anything BUT unique? and so much lipstick, so much lipstick.

What can I say mate? the Cure was the main reason why I decied to learn English eventhough it was such a hard thing to do, specially cuz I've never been to any English country and besides I was not in a private school (which makes it harder in a country like mine).There are also some big reasons...

...to love The Cure

Robert Smith and his lyrics and music Bowie says so The great cover of Love will tear us apartThe elegance and sarcasm

Disintegration is a great song. Thanks to whoever recommended it.
