Respect The Cure

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...

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.
