Favourite song by The Cure

[Peteinblack]

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.

AAAAAA

[Stat Brother]

Probably Boys don't cry & Close to Me.

But that's open to change should I get my gramaphone records out!.

 

[El Presidente]

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.

Whilst it is not in my top three Cure albums, Wish (1992) has some brilliant tracks on it.

 

[shoreham moonraker]

a night like this from the head on the door album

i was at glastonbury 86 was amazing, then saw them at wembley in 87 on kiss me kiss me kiss me tour and that was even better.

 

[Grendel]

The Walk.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I differ from everyone;

Pictures of You.

followed by Boys Don't Cry

 

[The Uninvited Guest]

Killing an Arab. Robert Smith lives half a mile down the road from me.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

What a class band they were in their day.


Any advance on "A Forest"?

Not from me. My favourite track by 'em too.

 

[The Auditor]

Jumping someone else train ?

saw then last march at wembley arena ..fab night ..played 40 odd tracks in a 3 hour set

 

[Mackenzie]

All their old stuff, but a special mention goes to A Forest, and Inbetween days

 

[Mackenzie]

10:15 On A Saturday Night

and this

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Robert Smith lives half a mile down the road from me.

Friends in Crawley report seeing him fairly recently pushing a trolley round the supermarket in full war paint.

THPP vote Just Like Heaven. A perfick pop song

 

[medicine man]

The Kiss and How Beautiful You are, are personal faves. The whole of Disintegration is wonderful, probably the 'Biggest' sound of any live band I've seen.
A Forrest(sic) , Jumping Someone Else's Train, 100 Years, just a great band really...

 

[chez]

Love Cats, Charlotte Somtimes or Killing An Arab

 

[Stat Brother]

Love Cats

[jonesie]

Shake dog Shake
Charlotte Sometimes
Fascination Street
Just like Heaven
Inbetween Days

Oh the list goes on and on.

 

[looney]

Am I the only person who thinks they are shit?

 

[DJ NOBO]

Same Deep Water As You
Harold & Joe
The Kiss
Wendy Time
Do The Hansa

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Am I the only person who thinks they are shit?

Probably.

The correct answer is absolutely Just Like Heaven. Not just a perfect pop song, but THE perfect pop song.

Special mentions for Play For Today, Apart and Trust too.

 

[brakespear]

'Pornography' or 'Cold' for me.

Fat Bob was my local hero growing up (although he wasn't actually from Crawley)...my dad claims he taught some of The Cure 'English for Engineers' or some such course at Crawley Colege
