You seem to have zero interest in keeping up a nice debate. Despite us talking about The Cure, you have yet to say one constructive thing about their music. And it's me not understanding things? I can't help but defy that.
Radiohead, doing their thing? It's irrelevant when they don't dare to say anything. Their lyrics are incoherent and the music's just sounds, landscapes of sound.
And your cure-faves? Although some of them are good songs (some aren't) they're all a-sides. Use your imagination a bit. Delve further. Albumtracks, b-sides.
Do you really think Robo has anything or had anything to say, really?
What has Robert had to say of interest in interviews or other wise?
People often put The Cure in with Joy Division and The Smiths, as if they were some goth 3some walking around town dressed in black.
The difference is massive The Smiths and J D have a gothic out look but their gothic is true gothic in a English victorian sense (as are Radiohead and Echo and the bunnymen). The Cure aren't really gothic except in a fashion sense, they are a fairy tale with a dark hue- they are better than the awful Smashing Ps though.
Also, Robert Smith is like a womble who got lost in a Alice Coopers dressing room, it's impossible to take him seriously- unless your an avid fan of twilight and Tim B Films
Music and taste are woven deep (this is what I was stating in one of the above posts), which is something Morrissey and Weller understood. This explains why they have moved forward and Robo has staid nailed to to floor in 1979.
If you like The Cure that's fine, we all like what we like BUT to make out The Cure are one of the greatest bands ever is madness.
Didn't you also say you were a Michael Jackson Fan as well and compare him to Moz?
PS one of my friends was a big big cure fan, so I have heard a number of
The Cures songs and they just don't do it for me, honey.
To say the songs I had chosen are "A sides" and "Hits" in a snotty manner is silly.
I started Something, The Queen is Dead, This Charming man,How soon is Now Suedehead, Ineresting Drug and what not are still some of my fave Smiths/moz songs.
Yes I like a load of b sides and lp tracks but there is nothing wrong with liking hits- it just shows lack of knowledge and experience if thats all you know.
You dismissed Weller in the one of your posts above I suggest you widen your knowledge of The Jam
While you are at it give The Specials a go (if you haven't already)
