My teenage son loves music from The Cure, The Smiths. Says we were lucky to be part of that music era.

I love In Between Days, a song of my youth, and don't give a monkeys that it was commercial (some criticise that). What an iconic opening and lyrics.

Goosebumps every time :smile: Lucky Eden to have SG as his tutor!

He seldom gets mentioned in great bass player discussions, so I have to. His haunting bass lines, a unique style and beautiful sound.

JD, New Order and The Cure, I couldn't live without them (not really, but I'm so glad two bunches of naturally talented teens got together in Crawley and Manchester). The Smiths, The Jam, etc not far behind, imho.

That was my distraction yesterday 'WFH', I let YouTube's algorithms take me on a musical journey and it eventually came up with that incredible album. :smile:

This song literally brings tears to my eyes, it's astonishingly beautiful.

They’ve been immense forever.

March 1975 cup final, 15 year old winger Robert Smith is top row, far left. Talented sod.

I still adore the music of Joy Division/New Order. Goosebumps every time if Atmosphere or Love Will Tear Us Apart unexpectedly get played on the radio. I was far too young to see JD live, but the greatest gig I ever went to was New Order at Portsmouth Guildhall before they started playing at...

I love The Cure, but Joy Division/New Order are just ahead for me ... personal taste. The Smiths and The Jam are also modern greats to my mind.

Great to see their deserved award. So many truly great songs.

With The Forest, I also love Play For Today from the same album.

I saw The Danse Society down the Regent in West Street, and still have their album in vinyl. A couple of outstanding tracks on there.

This, exactly. Plus 'Bigmouth Strikes Again' by The Smiths. Luckily I saw both bands in Brighton in the early 80's at their peak.

Love The Smiths, and many Cure songs. What's incredible is how young Marr and The Cure members were when they already writing great songs - in their late teens. All without classical/stage school/record company backgrounds. Just naturally talented kids, creating with mates at home.
