The Cure

Comments about
The Cure:
I wasn't sick when I was
Cured, but somehow I felt a lot healthier afterwards. The discovery of Robert Smith's
universe was strangely appealing and it really illustrates how melancholy and depression
can be turned into something positive. The Cure are the Kings of Indie and continue to be
so even though their greatest period was from the mid-'80's and on. That's when they
recorded their darkest albums and these are my favourites. Listen to
"Disintegration" and find that even though it may pull you into a canyon of
depression, it will also gently lift you back up as a stronger person. That is
class. Le Mec
"At the
outset, they played jagged, edgy pop songs and they slowly evolved into a more textured
outfit. As one of the bands that laid the seeds for goth-rock, the group created towering
layers of guitars and synthesizers." Stephen Thomas
