I have their Greatest Hits. I do like many of their more ‘well-known’ songs, but haven’t explored them further, admittedly. I do think Robert Smith is a terrific frontman. Friday, I’m in Love, In Between Days, etc. They’re all terrific. I really should explore their discography. I know they’re on of ours - the U.K.’s - very finest.

The last album I bought was MIXED UP.
DISENTIGRATION is excellent, though.

Any other Cure fans here? Currently they're tearing it up on the European tour. Lots of new material & they are doing almost 3 hour shows. The new stuff sounds great, hopefully the record will be out soon. Also, yesterday they released a 30th anniversary remaster of "Wish" that sounds magnificent. It's like a whole new record. I hope they tour the US in the spring.

to bring everything neatly together...
the latest cowboy junkies album, 'songs of the recollection', is a covers record, featuring takes on both 'no expectations' AND the cure's 'seventeen seconds'
along with uniquely junkified tilts at bowie, neil and gram
cowboy junkies - no expectations
cowboy junkies - seventeen seconds

I used to hear them a lot in the 90s and went to some shows. I have some realy nice memories. They used to be a great band and probably still are.

They are. Absolutely. In particular, a number of current reports point out Robert Smith sings better than ever. I agree.
Porl Thompson was a good guitarist. Reeves Gabrels is in a league of his own. His colourful playing adds a lot to the sounds.

Remember falling in love with the Cure when A Forest was released, very early 80s
The direction the band took in the following albums never really convinced me
