In honour of this fine post I have just listened to Push (for the 10,537th time).
There may have been air drumming.

Glad to have "pushed" it back into your consciousness!
I like The Cure but wouldn’t say they are my favourites by any stretch. ......
However, back in Spring ‘81, they played the Top Rank. I was a callow sixteen year old and waited outside during the afternoon. When they arrived, they all signed my copy of ‘A Forest’ (still got it) and I asked Big Bob to put me on the guest list as I hadn’t got a ticket. And he did.
Always admired them for that and for the fact that they have done some amazing songs. Some that don’t float my boat too, ‘Friday I’m in love’ being the most obvious one. I cringe when I hear that.

The Cure kind of passed me by in my youth and although I've had a vague appreciation of their music since, I had never quite grasped HOW good they are until I noticed this thread and started properly listening to them.
It has become something of a post-work listen in the last few weeks and, in a very tough period in my job, something I look forward to that helps me unwind instead of a commute.
Here I sit, cold beer in hand with Lullaby currently playing and a big grin as I wait for the game.
Cheers to all of you Cure fans for the inspiration
and here's to 3 points for the good guys too!

Having posted this, it occurred to me that the only albums I have ever owned were all compilations. Boys don't cry, Staring at the sea, Mixed Up.

I prefer Prevention, I just think they’re better.
