The Cure

[ViolentPanda]

Top 5 in no particular order:
Killing An Arab
Primary
10.15
A Forest
In Between Days

 

[William of Walworth]

I think 90 and 95 were the next ones I saw them at. Probably easily googled

I know -- I was habitually lazy late at night, last night

1995 Glasto setlist here

For whatever ciderswilling, chainspliffing reason (at Glastonbury in a very hot and sunny year ) that I can't possibly now remember, I wasn't at that gig ...

Jealously noticing the reference fom Voley to the Cure's 1990 gig too :

[media]

Wasn't down the farm at all that year

 

[xenon]

I think Fascination Street might be favourite tune.. Disintagration is a phenonimal consisstently good album.

 

[oryx]

I think these would be my top five:

Fire In Cairo
Play for Today
Let's Go To Bed
The Hanging Garden
Primary

 

[Cpatain Rbubish]

A top 5 is too hard, just so many great songs.

 

[Voley]

Very popular in the states too IIRC.

Yep. They've just announced a tour that includes a night at Madison Square Garden and 2 nights at the Hollywood Bowl.

 

[Maharani]

A top 5 is too hard, just so many great songs.

Try, just for today. I'll have another list for tomorrow...

 

[Maharani]

They'll tour until Rob dies I reckon. They can still rock a three hour set like they're in their 20's.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Oooh shit. A top 5 Cure songs. Will try...be back in a minute or ten. This will be almost impossible, lol

You can have another top 5 tomorrow depending on your mood.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Disintegration
Boys don't cry
All cats are grey
The Figurehead
Cold
Just like heaven
Push
The exploding boy
From the edge of the deep green sea
2 late

(this would prolly have 5 or 6 replacements if I did it tomorrow)

I mean I've just remembered "Just one kiss" and "M" and the astonishing left-right knockout out "Drowning man" & "Faith"

 

[Steel Icarus]

Might have to do a top ten "Up" and a top ten "Down"

 

[Voley]

Bob with a cob on Top 5:

Sinking
Disintegration
Live version of Shake Dog Shake
Faith
One Hundred Years

 

[Steel Icarus]

More than one type of pissed-off, too; contrast Faith (can't lift head off shoulder, if I DO it's just for a knackered walk round a deserted reservoir...in the fog) with Pornography (can't lift head off shoulder, if I DO it's to briefly kick a cardboard box in a car park because there's too much noise and world and I don't understand anything that's happening)

 

[albionism]

My top 5 (which would be different tomorrow!)
Just Like Heaven
In Between Days
Push
Dressing Up
Closedown

 

[albionism]

Here's me being a bit of a Cure fan/general Goth, circa 1989 (those are not my curtains )

 

[Smokeandsteam]

Okay top 5 for today:

Out of this world
Siamese Twins
The Funeral Party
Catch
End

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Who remembers when a forest was the theme to that kids tv quiz show. Something about computers that had a sports round where they would play something like daily Thompson's decathlon?

Was that the one presented by Maggie Philbin? I think it was called first class. Or was that the one with paperboy.

Here's me (on the right) 1988

 

[SpookyFrank]

Top 5 tunes:

Fire in Cairo
Shake Dog Shake
In Between Days
Play For Today
Last Dance

It's not a case of share and share alike, I take what I require

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

No. It was a bloke and it was called Domesday detectives. Something to do with the BBC's Domesday project that also included a game as a round, for no other reason than it was played on a computer.

where were you Gothing about then? Maybe our paths crossed. Were you in London, did you go to Wraith or Slimelight or Full Tilt ?

No. I live in the Midlands. So I was mostly down The Crown (Nuneatons hot spot for alternative types/the only place you could go without getting into a fight, although that was never guarenteed) or Busters, Silvers, The Rose and Crown in Coventry, Edwards, The Powerhouse and The Barrel Organ in Brum

It must've been hot, I didn't have my leather or trench coat on.... but no dark sunglasses

 

[Smokeandsteam]

Edwards, The Powerhouse and The Barrel Organ in Brum

All now closed.

Have great memories of the goth night at Edwards, in particular tripping over constantly as there was so much dry ice!

 

[Hellsbells]

Love this thread. I've missed The Cure!
I love so many Cure songs. Disintegtation is definitely one my favourites though. And Close Down.
Am listening to my old cassette right now, reading the tattered old lyrics that must be well over 20 years old Will probably have to fix the cassette tape with an old bio later
