( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:10, 45 replies, latest was 17 years ago)

I like the cure.
Don't realy have any of their albums, just songs I've collected. My favorite two so far are probably cut here and just like heaven.

What!
Cut Here!

What!

Line Breaks!

What!

Listen to more of their stuff and you will realise that Cut Here comes a long way down the list.

Realy?
Is there an album you'd realy reccomend? To be fair I might be biased in favour of cut here because of the memories I associate it with, though I still reckon it's a good song. So yeah, any reccomendations?
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:31, Reply)

See below
If you're a more commercial tune fan try Head on teh Door and Wish, if you like it dark and broody start with Disintergration and then get Faith and Seventeen Seconds.

If you're a completist get Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, but beware, it's not the most consistant album, though it does have some truly superb tracks on it.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:36, Reply)

Hrm. Thanks for the reccomenations
I tend to go for dark and broody a bit more, so I'll check out Disintegration and Faith or seventeen seconds first. Thanks :)

'disintegration'

( mictoboy shitting in your cunt since, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 22:04, Reply)

Yes, oh god yes.
Tricky one, I think Head on the Door might edge it out, by then again Faith is pretty superb, and Seventeen Seconds and of course Wish is quite divine, but so is Disintegration.

Actually I think as a whole album it might have to be Disintegration. But Head on the Door has Push which I really like, but my favourite song is "From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea". Definitely.

Who cares what you think?

( girlinthehole, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:22, Reply)

My mum would care
if she read b3ta.

She'd probably tell me off for being rude though.

So it's just as well she doesn't.

So basically, no-one cares.

Unless you care. Do you care?

I don't care.

Thank you Al : )

(Bazongaloid, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:37, Reply)

I care
Al seems to have very similar taste to me, and (despise myself for saying so) doesn't seem to be an idiot, so if I need to know about something and whether or not I will like it, then Al is a good sounding board.

For instance, From the edge of the deep green sea seems to be an awesome track so far.

Disintegration is winning my vote for now
their best song I would say is Burn from The Crow soundtrack. it's fucking awesome
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:26, Reply)

I've just listened to it on Youtube.
It's crap.

Anyone can shout.

He doesn't shout.
Are you sure your listening to the right song, or are you just in a big grump and are going to criticise everything?
(Bazongaloid, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:32, Reply)

I like the jingly jangly songs they did.
Lovecats etc.
( girlinthehole, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:33, Reply)

Do you like Why Can't I Be You?
I like that one, and it's quite jangly.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:38, Reply)

Yes I do, if it's the one I'm thinking off.
I'm just not a dark doom and gloom kind of music lover. Apart from Low by Bowie which I played to death when I was 18 and a sad cunt.
( girlinthehole, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:45, Reply)

I'm pretty sure he doesn't shout

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:32, Reply)

Disintergration by the Cure on Youtube.
Well it was more shouty than singy.
( girlinthehole, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:34, Reply)

I love the song Disintergration
I saw them at Wembley last year and they played it. Was a superb concert, they played for about three hours.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:35, Reply)

ah ok
I don't know the song very well. only started listening to the album today (gf has them all).

try listening to Burn from the Crow soundtrack. it's dark, mellow and very very good.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:36, Reply)

That was going to be my second choice
I almost prefer it, but the line "Suddenly she stops, looks down at my breaking face, why do you cry? What do I say? It's just rain, I sighed, washing my tears away" Just makes that song for me.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:30, Reply)

just listened to From the edge of the deep green sea for the first time
it is fucking good. really fucking good.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:32, Reply)

I don't have albums either, just songs I like.
But funnily enough I've been spotifying in order to start my album collection. Pictures of You, Lovesong, Inbetween Days, Boys Don't Cry, Lullaby, Letter to Elise (is that what it's called?) The Only One (for sheer sauce) and Friday I'm in Love for memories of school.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:28, Reply)

At the risk of incurring the wrath
I have to say that no album of The Cure has taken me like the Greatest Hits double disk compilation. Basically I'm not that keen on the darker stuff, which most of the albums seem to contain. Sometimes the darker stuff just sounds like gloomy filler. (May offend some Cure fans here *ahem*)
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:28, Reply)

it's offended me
I prefer the gloomy stuff. not saying that I don't love a bit of Love Cats or Fire in Cairo, but I do really prefer the gloom.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:31, Reply)

It offended me
Greatest Hits are just wrong. I'm not saying you should never get a greatest hits, but some bands deserve a deeper look at the whole albums, like Bruce Springsteen and The Beatles.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:33, Reply)

Though interestingly
I don't really give a toss about The Rolling Stones, I have their greatest hits and it's got some superb songs on it, but the albums? Meh.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:34, Reply)

some greatest hits albums do have merit though
Korn for example, includes the versions of Word Up and Another Brick in the Wall.
If you like Korn and Floyd then check out the live version on youtube. it's shit hot.

The Strapping Young Lad
greatest hits album got me into stuff of theirs I wouldn't have listened to otherwise
(Halfy By light alone, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:51, Reply)

I agree
But in the case of the Cure, the gloomy songs don't really grab me so I much prfer the greatest hits. Porbably the only band in my collection that I can say that about..
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Wed 15 Jul 2009, 11:47, Reply)

I like the Cure
But haven't listened to nearly all their stuff.

Album wise, The Head on the Door, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me and Disintegration are all superb, and all very different. I should probably invest in some others really.

I would agree.
Only have it on vinyl and no means of playing it, so haven't listened to it for about ten years. Must get it on CD.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 14 Jul 2009, 22:08, Reply)

It's a good album
but as I said earlier, it's a bit inconsistent. I love A Thousand Hours and One More Time.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 22:22, Reply)

That was the first full album of theirs I bought
But I lurve them all.

Well, maybe not all of them. There were tracks on Wish I didn't like. But other than that album, all their stuff is great.
( flirting with badgers What? It sounded good at the time., Tue 14 Jul 2009, 22:23, Reply)

Yes yes yes yes yes
In Between Days from Head on the Door. Sadly most of mine are on vinyl. ("What's that you say Grandma? Where can you play your 78s? No I do not want stupid things like woofers and tweeters!")

Album wise it has to be Pornography\Carnage Visors.
Best song ever is Charlotte Sometimes.
I remember when they were all young and thin.

Thanks for the reminder Porks, I'd forgotten about Charlotte Sometimes - that song used to always bring a bijou lumpette to my eye.
