The Cure.

[Angmering]

Cracking. Roberts version of Small Hours by John Martyn is a banger also.

I worked on his summer house right on the seafront at Elmer about 20yrs ago. His immediate neighbor was never best pleased with him, apparently the Cure were also massive in Italy in the day and he often got young Italian goth types on a pilgrimage knocking his door in the summer and ranting at them he lives next f*cking door

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

Yeah that run of 3 albums after The Top were shit. I mean the likes of Inbetween Days, Just Like Heaven and Lullaby are bang average.

So that's 3 decent songs on 9 post-Pornography albums. Saying that, that's a ratio the Rolling Stones haven't managed in the last 40 years and some people say they are the best rock'n'roll band ever.

Concurred.

One of the best

Interesting that Simon Gallop now plays bass with a plectrum not his fingers.
Sir Bob of Goth looks so young in that video.

This video shows what superb musicians they are. Not a note wrong and they sound fantastic.

Friday I'm in love.

I can still remember Robert Smith off his tits singing love cats with lipstick smeared all over his gob

 

[Big Jeff]

One of the greatest British bands of all time.

Prove me wrong.

No, I will agree with you.

I think they are superb and Disintergration is one of my favourite albums.

 

[Silkyces]

Like every band some songs are awful some are ok but some are absolute gems, From the edge of the deep green sea, for example.

Very good back catalogue , have produced some of the best toe tappers of the 80/90s alternative type music

 

[NodsNeph]

Great band. I’ve got tickets to see them in Glasgow later on in the year, really looking forward to it.

Aye me too, my daughter got the tickets for last Christmas. Going with her and her fella while my Mrs goes to a spa as she has terrible taste in music.

They're the only 3 I could be arsed to type. There's A LOT more, believe me.

 

[NodsNeph]

Kiss me kiss me kiss me is a very underrated album.
Those saying post Pornography albums are poor are just wrong.
It's just that the run from 17 seconds through Faith to Pornography was absolutely brilliant.

Robert Smith’s net worth is over 4x that of David Baddiel.

He is at least 4 x more talented.

[Crayola-Kid]

Huge favorite in this household. Me and the missus came back from the States for the weekend just to go to the Hyde Park anniversary gig - not many I’d do that for. Tremendous show.

 

[Kent_Mackem]

Saw them at Bologna a week ago. They were amazing. One lad at the front of each show is filming them and yucking the videos on YouTube. Surprisingly good quality. Different set list each night.
I've been watching the videos through this week as I've been working.

Ah the fantastic “ Why can’t I be you”

 

[JonMc]

Caught them at Glastonbury once. Someone died and was resuscitated at the beginning of their set and they didn't seem that bothered.

Mid set and was stopped to allow emergency support
