Singles band.
Nah, The Cure were excellent (said by me, common as muck bint lol) but The Smiths were specialThe cure were really good as well
maybe it's cos i'm posh
tough one. The Smiths meant the world to me at the time, more than anyone. But since then, I rarely listen to them. Whereas not only did the Cure make fantastic singles, but also a lot of their more experimental stuff - like 17 Seconds - still sounds great.

This is a challenging poll, but it has to be the Smiths as far as I'm concerned, much as the world would be poorer for the lack of either.

Not many people realise that the Cure were experimental. Just cos they were a pop band I think

Agree that The Cure were a singles band. The Smiths didn't really ever set a foot wrong. I love The Cure, but The Smiths were better.
You should have picked Joy Division instead. That'd get em brawling in the aisles a bit. Obviously Joy Division would win though - Morrissey's left it far too late to hang himself.Imagine how much Rob Smith will cry when he loses this poll
I know. Do Joy Division v Nirvana.
Nirvana are much better than Joy Division

Actually, might as well flounce.
Only with the symbols reversed.
some of the cure's early stuff is fantastic, but a lot of the later stuff is very lame. the smiths, however, were fantastic the whole way through. although the cure have had a much, much longer carreer than the smiths. but the cure are pretty much robert smith these days, aren't they? so i think it's fair to compare robert smith with morrissey and judge it that way

morrisey is still ace
rob smith stopped being cool about the same time as the word ace

Nope. Absolutely sincere.

the missus had a ticket to see them when she was a yoot, but she got grounded and missed the gig
She pm'd me with that story after morrissey cancelled his roundhouse gigs. She must have been absolutely gutted.
