The Cure.

You were the one who posted that the Cure were my band 'more than' the likes of the Smiths. If that's not saying you think they are better then fair enough and I've misunderstood. Agree it's took an odd twist this like considering we like similar music!
There’s just no need to say one band is better than another imo. I love them but who cares?
 


But one is 'your band' and not the other - let's leave it I'm not saying the Smiths or Stump aren't great (I've uploaded videos of Stump - Buffalo on SMB previously as I love Fierce Pancake). I just think the Cure are a better band with a better backtrack. In future I'll remember to not say that I think The Rolling Stones aren't any better than Boyzone.
 
Pornography will remain an absolute classic album, this is a fella who's had success who then descends into the most horrific depths of drug induced psychosis, and then makes an album about it, and then comes out the other side.

It doesn't matter if we all die...
Got to remember that Smith wrote this masterpiece when he was only 22

No, that was me. And tbh what I meant by that was not that they were objectively musically better, because that is a nonsense argument and very subjective - when I said that they were my band, I meant they were the one that mattered to me most, at an age when music matters most.
 
One of the few bands I would travel to see a stadium show. They were immense at Hyde Park, 30 song greatest hits set.

Can't wait for this, been waiting for years for them to do their own gig in Dublin. 1996 is the last time they played a gig apart from a festival in Ireland!

Same night as Metallica at Slane Castle. Busy night.

No competition there for me, Slane is a f***ing nightmare to get to and from as well.

not sure it will be their ‘own’ gig,they’ve said they are playing festivals next summer,so not sure what this will be,maybe an all day thing along the lines of hyde park.

It’s definitely not a festival, but yeah hopefully like Hyde park, that lineup was amazing.
