The Cure - Glastonbury 1995
Headlining on the last day, they'd obviously spent the weekend getting as fucked up as everyone else at the festival. I don't like their pop-goth bullshit anyway, but they were too monged to even play their instruments properly.
Twats. .

Oh thank fuck for that
1995 was my first Glastonbury and I had to leave at 10pm to get a coach back to the Midlands, I'd always been a bit annoyed about having to miss the Cure...not that I'm a massive fan anyway, take away the really fucking twee gimmicky pop songs (days of the week, fucking love cats) and most of their back catalogue is pretty nondescript pub rock. But I do like the one they did for The Crow.

Yep, that's the one
LoveSong isn't bad either, though I came to that one through Tori Amos

I quite like a lot of The Cures stuff
"Want" is a bit angsty but i like that one

I had the misfortune of seeing them at Leeds Fest last year.
I've honestly never been so bored, and left the set halfway through, greatly offending a large Norwegian goth. Robert Smith looked like Susan Boyle after being face down in a ditch for three days.
