The Band of the Day: The Cure!! Who loves em like I do!!

[LynneSin]

They were the best of the 80's. "Just like Heaven" is my ultimate happy song because no matter how pissed I am, if that song is played all is forgotten and I'm just the happiest person in the world.

Cure fans check in!!

1. While I probably don't love them like you do

I do sing "Just like Heaven" to my kids. Have to do somethign to counteract all those Nick Jr shows.

[LynneSin]

2. I don't love them as they're in my top 10 of alltime favorite bands

Heck I don't even think they make the top 25.

But I do adore their music!!

[khashka]

3. Love 'em.

Robert Smith is god - wish I could wear lipstick like he could.

Why Can't I Be You and Boys Don't Cry are solid faves on my iPod.


Khash.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

4. Yeah baby... not the best... but right up there!

[LaraMN]

5. I do! I play "Boys don't cry" for my seven year old, when he's pouting.

Then I sing along and make faces at him until he can't keep up the pout anymore. It's highly effective!

[Coventina]

6. My Top Ten Cure Songs (and yes, I love me some Cure)

9. Disintegration
10. Just Like Heaven

[LynneSin]

8. I'd have to move Fascination Street up a few but great list

I love it all but my definitely #1-#2 punch is "Just Like Heaven" and "Fascination Street". I would also have to add in there "Pictures of You" and "Close to Me"

[Coventina]

10. "Pictures of You" & "Close to Me" are great songs.

Remember when HP was using "Pictures of You" in its commercials?
That always made me laugh.
Totally innapropriate song, IMHO.
I always pictured a bemused Robert Smith asking, "You want to use which song? Pictures of You?.....Well, okay.....knock yourself out!"

[Squatch]

12. A Forest - my #1 all time favorite

[Coventina]

16. That's always a really awesome song when they play it live.

There are just so many great songs....

it really is impossible to narrow it down to 10.

[fizzgig]

17. only ten?

damn that's a hard one...

1) disintegration
2) jupiter crash
3) inbetween days
4) like cockatoos
5) the upstairs room
6) fire in cairo
7) this twilight garden
8) love cats
9) friday i'm in love
10) killing an arab (i still can't believe the disclaimer i see on 'staring at the sea' about that song)

probably one of my top two or three bands ever and they put on one hell of a live show

[AlCzervik]

7. Raising hand enthusiastically!!!

the first dance my husband and i had at our wedding was "Just like heaven" now my 11 year old daughter is hooked on them as well.

[Squatch]

9. I have damn near everything they've ever released.

Although, the past couple of albums seems a little too "pop" for my tastes.

11. my favorite Cure song

Charlotte Sometimes

All the faces
All the voices blur
Change to one face
Change to one voice
Prepare yourself for bed
The light seems bright
And glares on white walls
All the sounds of charlotte sometimes
Into the night
With charlotte sometimes
Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away
But charlotte sometimes did not cry
The people seemed so close
Playing expressionless games
The people seemed so close
So close
So many
Other names

Sometimes I知 dreaming
Where all the other people dance
Sometimes I知 dreaming
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes I知 dreaming
Expressionless the trance
Sometimes I知 dreaming
So many different names
Sometimes I知 dreaming
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes I知 dreaming
She hopes to open shadowed eyes
On a different world
Come to me
Scared princess
Charlotte sometimes

On that bleak track
(see the sun is gone again)
The tears were pouring down her face
She was crying and crying for a girl
Who died so many years before...

Sometimes I dream
Where all the people dance
Sometimes I dream
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes I dream
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes I知 dreaming
There are so many different names
Sometimes I dream
Sometimes I dream...

Charlotte sometimes crying for herself
Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself
But it痴 always with love
With so much love it looks like
Everything else
Of charlotte sometimes
So far away
Glass sealed and pretty

14. I'm a big fan, but my WIFE...she's a BIG fan.

She's particularly obsessed with the "Wish" album.

[Texasgal]

15. Head on the door....

My all time favorite!

I LOVE THEM!!

[fudge stripe cookays]

18. "Primary"

The only song I can listen to anymore without laughing my ass off. Or "A Forest."

OK, possibly "Birdmad Girl."

[gizmo1979]

19. Dreadful simply

dreadful.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

20. great band.

particularly their bassist, who has laid down some of the most amazing grooves. Don't even know his name.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

22. The extended remix of "Fascination Street" on THIS CD single...

...that's the one. That's The Cure's "gold standard."
