The Cure.

[gonzo666]

not to keen on them had 1 or 2 good songs then it went down hill

 

[Sorrel]

They only had two songs - the happy song and the sad song.

After about 1992 they couldn't do the happy song anymore; they tried but it sounded very forced. So they from then on they only did the sad song, but with loads of extra material as they could sing about why they were so unhappy they couldn't do the happy songs anymore. Then they made each song ten minutes long.

In amongst all the dross there are some very good happy songs from 1984 - 1989, and a few very good sad songs, mostly all around 1989 - 1992. And lots of very dull songs everywhere.

I have to say that robert smiths voice makes me feel sick.
Sorry

 

[Le Tigre]

"Killing an Arab" is Genius !

 

[Brighton Breezy]

A load of the production on their records sounds like it has been NICKED from Martin Hannett's work on Joy Division's Atmosphere...

Jumping someone else's train
disintegration
inbetween days
fascination street
all cats are grey......

Yes, I suppose I do like some of their stuff. A lot of crap came from them, but a few good ones too.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Nothing good has EVER come from CRAWLEY.

That is an ACTUAL fact.

 

[chez]

Excellent group. My favourite tracks are "Killing An Arab", "Charlotte Sometimes" & "Love Cats". Oh and "Friday I'm In Love"

 

[keaton]

f***ing brilliant group, don't understand how to answer the poll question though

 

[hans kraay fan club]

swing between good and brilliant.

Some of my all time favourite tracks are Cure ones.

Charlotte Sometimes
Boys don't Cry
Just like heaven
Pictures of you
Why can't I be you?
In between days
A forest


Still haven't quite forgiven them for 'Friday' though - the track that Beach Hut laughably rates as their finest. If I wanted to listen to Level 42, I'd buy one of their records.

 

[Les Biehn]

Actually Richie 3 Good things have come from Crawley

The Cure
Gareth Southgate
Me

Oh and yes, I do like The Cure.

 

[Mackenzie]

Love 'em

Inbetween Days and A Forest

 

[El Presidente]

No - only one good track "Friday on my mind"

Err.....they didn't write any such song!

 

[house your seagull]

A Forest - balearic classic

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Do you love them or hate them??

top rank brighton twice ,early days

 

[Badger]

I like must of their tracks although I've only got the Best Of album.

Your poll makes no sense!

 

[sully]

f***ing brilliant group, don't understand how to answer the poll question though

What he said (almost).

I don't think I'd rate them quite as highly, but definately like their music.

Has anyone voted? Can someone clarify how to?

I guess if you don't care you vote NO, but if you have a strong opinion, you vote YES. Possibly.

Nothing good has EVER come from CRAWLEY.

*****PEDANT ALERT*****

[1234andcounting]

What about an ' they're ok, but hardly in the premier league of rock bands' option?
