"The Cure" Best Song (1 Viewer)

[Brunell4MVP]

It's Fascination Street, and by a good ways IMO. The fact it's not a choice makes this poll suck

 

[Zegras11]

Have four Top lists in. Keep them coming. Deadline Wed 11:59pm ET

 

[Bogart]

Went with Just Like Heaven. "Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick, The one that makes me scream she said" was forever my favorite lyric to any song.

For the obligatory "Other" mentioned, "Burn" is probably the song of theirs that I have listed to the most. The Crow was everything I needed in 1994 and that song was front and center.

should have worked. I get them all the time in the current music thread. Works the same as the old board, but easier to load.

It didn't work for me. Maybe my name got lost in the grouping or something.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Killing an Arab... that baseline!

not a fan of how some have interpreted the song over the years though

I remember the disclaimer stickers that were placed on the album covers in record stores.

 

[Zegras11]

Four lists so far have 13 different songs, four different #1's. No song is on all four lists.
Hope we can get up to 20 lists on this.

Likely that. It's weird that when I hover over each of the @'s, each individual profile comes up

 

[Statorama]

His voice always kept them out of my regular rotation, but it's impossible to ignore the talent.

Give me that ESPN lone wolf hat because 'Why Can't I Be You' just has an infectious beat that makes me happy

 

[Apple Juice]

This is easy for me.
Just Like Heaven is one of 3 vinyl records i am getting buried with. The layers on this track are just amazing.
Theres a youtube thread discussing it, but i couldnt be bothered looking

The chvrches do a great cover of it when they did a few gigs with Robert Smith in the last few years. They added even more synth so it was just even more fantastic.

I don't know if this is it but I just spent 10 minutes watching this breakdown of all the parts to this song. All of them are tremendous. Just a perfect pop song.

 

[nirad3]

Lovesong is one of those where I went the first time I heard it.

Yup. Disintegration is a wonderful album.

I also really love Plainsong. I used to use it to meditate and prepare myself before playing in my high school basketball games.

 

[Zegras11]

Six lists with 18 different songs. Keep them coming!

Burn is on my top 5 list. Amazing film, amazing soundtrack.

 

[PIK95]

Lovesong easily for me.

Ironically, that song is also my favorite by Tesla.

Yep. Thats the one

Glad to see Just like Heaven winning

 

[Zegras11]

Have 7 lists. Please pm me your top 5 lists today. Would like to at least get 15. Thanks!

 

[Yambag]

From the list went with A Forest, but would probably pick Fascination Street or From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea depending on the day. Hope they do a US tour, saw them in 2016 and were as amazing as ever. Great thread!

 

[Gatorman]

Hell, the whole Disintegration album is a masterpiece. I listened to it a million times probably growing up. (Full length version of Pictures of You is in my personal top 10 songs of all time.)

I'm in this camp.

From the list I'd go with Pictures of You but my "other" vote is for Prayers For Rain. Fascination Street is high on my list too.

Huge "prayers for rain" fan.

The cure (and Robert Smith) are such a great band between the poppy hits and the songs that are so beautiful you want to kill yourself to them...

Killing an Arab is pretty underrated as well even though now it is not a politically correct song...

Roger O’ Donnell indicated they would decide on a North American tour after the current European tour is over. He’s pretty confident it will happen and start in early Summer.

Saw the 2016 tour and it was at a small outdoor venue in Downtown Miami. Top 10 concert all time for me. Can't wait for them to come back over.
