Hey guys, I've rediscovered a liking for the cure having been introduced by my old band mate a while ago and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for songs/albums? Obviously know some of the classics like boys dont cry, lovecats, friday im in love. Muchas gracias :thumb:

    'Head on the Door' is a good album to start with and 'Wish' is another favorite of mine. Theres a huge catalogue, hard to pick out specific albums I like all of them in some way.

    A Forest, Lullaby, In Between Days, Love Song and Close To Me are some of my favourites.

    I've only heard 3 of their songs... One I love, one I hate and one I like ("Friday I'm in love", "Lullaby" and "alt.end" in that order).

    Disintigration & Japanese Whispers are good.

    lullaby was the first song i heard by the cure and i fell in love instantly. I love the lyrics especially, and robert smith's voice is yummy. lullaby is on the album Disintegration - which is not the cure's most famous album, but is definately worth a listen.

    also on that album is Pictures Of You, which breaks my heart every time i hear it.

    anyway - the answer is that you need EVERY album. i have all but one -- and i'm working on getting the last one.

    i would recommend Wrong Number (which is my favourite cure song), and also Inbetween Days, Close To Me, Boys Don't Cry, Love Song.

    Close to Me is the song I was going to single out as well, as it's my favourite of theirs - so pretty and relaxing.

    Oh, also forgot about Catch, which is fantastic. And Just Like Heaven which is, aptly, divine. :)

    Disintegration is my favourite, personally.

    Especially 'Pictures of You'.

    I'm a bit surprised Pictures of You didn't make it onto their Greatest Hits...

    Inbetween Days, A Forest, Just Say Yes, Just Like Heaven, Lovesong, Friday I'm in Love, all excellent.

    The Twilight Garden is also, if i can remember, worth a mention...i can recall taking note of the intro anyway.

    Don't know if its been mentioned already, but Maybe Someday is excellent, too.
