Favourite song by The Cure

[Simster]

What a class band they were in their day.


Any advance on "A Forest"?

 

[Mellotron]

Probably Lullaby for me.

 

[Simster]

Probably Lullaby for me.

Just been listening to that. Top top track also.

 

[We're the Stripes]

Oh, no.. so I'll post my second favourite..

EDIT: Lullaby comes 3rd, as it happens.

 

[Pot noodles for everyone]

Close to me. I'm a sucker for the trip-hoppy drumming in this song.

[Fourteenth Eye]

From the edge of the deep green sea is a personal fave as is killing an arab

 

[Peteinblack]

"One Hundred Years'

Saw them headlining the Friday night at Glastonbury in 1986 - just as they came onstage, after a scorching hot summer day, a thunderstorm erupted, and they opened their set with this song.

Thunder and lighting overhead, dry ice on stage, and Robert Smith wailing 'Doesn't matter if we all die, just a vision in the back of a black car....'

Very poignant and moving.

 

[REDLAND]

10:15 On A Saturday Night

 

[Smithy]

Prayers for Rain

That whole album is THE NUTS, IMO, but that track is superb. The one after 100 years on Pornography is also top drawer - can't remember the name.

Got to say I really liked Shake Dog Shake - saw a video of them live in Orange and that was superb.

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

10:15 On A Saturday Night

is the right answer...

 

[El Presidente]

Apart

The Figurehead

 

[El Presidente]

is superb. The one after 100 years on Pornography is also top drawer - can't remember the name.

.

A day without substance
A change of thought
An atmosphere that rots with time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect

 

[hart's shirt]

Just Like Heaven - the perfect pop song.

 

[Badger]

I'm a fan of "In between days"

I don't think there is a song on the greatest hits I don't like.

 

[El Presidente]

I have probably played Pornography more times than any other album in my collection, with the possible exception of 'Closer'

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I have very very fond memories of A Forest. I bought A Forest on 12" when it came out. I remember being a little confused at to what a 12" single was. Years later I also spent one Xmas holiday at university learning to play this track on my bass guitar. I never did master the track, or the guitar for that matter.

I didn't read any more of the thread because I think you have got it in one. Although a passing nod to "Boys don't Cry" might be in order. Then again, "Fire in Cairo" too.

Yup, they were indeed a good sound.

 

[Mellotron]

We are incorrectly talking about them in the past sense - they are still going. However it is true that they haven't done anything to match their 80s peak.

 

[Pinkie]

I'd probably go for Love Song closely followed by A Forest.
