The Cure

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Last Weekend I saw The Cure Icon, well I'm a great Fan of the band, but I don't think MTV shoul have made that icon to The Cure, I mean just because the band took out a new record doesnt mean that it has to be an Icon, I know The Cure is a 70 band and has inspired a lot of bands, but the rolling stone and judas priest are too and they have inspired much more bands than the cure, opinions? 

[Ignatius]

Is that the same show in which they did an MTV Icon Metallica and everybody was complaining because Fred Durst was a part of the show? I don't remember if he hosted or performed, but I do recall somebody here made a few comments about it.

The cure's been around for over 25 years now and their core audience is typically 5 to 10 years older than the regular MTV follower, but The cure still gets airplay on MTV. Not much I'd say, but MTV still has an audience craving for anything Cure related. And apperantly, Smith has inspired current artists such as Manson, Evanescence...

RS and Judas Priests hardly get anymore MTV airplay these days. Both bands are on hiatus + they are not what you will call material for MTV. Sure both bands have inspired a lot of people, but probably not many amongst the MTV audience.

On a side note. The cure is one of my favorite bands. Grab a copy of "Disintegration". Best album with AFD to come out in the 80's?

Disintegration is spectacular, Robert Smith is a musical genius and an amazing lyricist. The Cure deserve to be on Icon. As far as Judas Priest and the Rolling Stones, of course they do to, but the Cure definitely deserve this recognition.

Yes I know is an excellent record probably my fave from tha band, I like fascination street and love song, which is a happy song made very depressive is just awsome.

Yes, but I think is like too forced to be an Icon, I really think that It would better be the Rolling Stones, or even Sabbath

I've really got into this amazing band over the last couple of weeks, and was wondering if anyone could provide any suggestions as to which albums I should check out.

Right now, I only have Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, and I absolutely love it.

Thank you Cure fans

[AdZ]

You should probably get Disintegration.

[GnFnR87]

This is my favorite album by the Cure hands down. Has been for the last 20 yrs!

[GnFnR87]

[GeraldFord]

[AxlsMainMan]

Thanks for the suggestions folks, looks like I'll be doing some shopping this week

How was the show Richard?

I saw them on TV last night performing for some recent MTV thing and was blown away.

Robert and Porl are wicked guitarists

[PJ]

im super fan
disintegration is the best album
bloodflowers is very very good.. the arrangements are dark and moody but with a pop romantic twist
i bought the trilogy dvd.. where they played as a goodbye show pornography, disintegration and bloodflowers and is amazing
the self titled album is very good.. is more organic and songs are kinda progressive

i heard the new single and is very very good.. pure pop

[Ignatius]

Awesome band.

Although Disinitegration is great...I must say "Wish" is my favorite album by them. Not their most praised work that's for sure, but it's so DARK and OBSCURE. I was expecting a totally different vibe, especially since it's got "Friday, Im in love", but man,... how wrong I was.   

Favorite songs "Letter to Elise" and the beautifully depressing "Trust". That 3 minute piano intro gets me each and every time.

Pictures of you is probrably my favorite cure song. Admit I never go really into them, but they have several songs I really love.

[mrlee]

Yeah, you'd probably like them.

Maybe check out:

Lullaby
Mint Car
Last Dance
Just Like Heaven
Lovesong
The End of the World
The Perfect Girl

Anyways, I finally picked up a copy of Disintegration the other day, and I absolutely love it.

Last Dance is probably my favorite right now, simply beautiful.

Oh, and as soon as I have sufficient funds, I'll definately check out Wish
