Ya know, I had an obscene diatribe consisting of why anyone and everyone should absolutely love and admire The Cure but it just turned out to be a mindless sermon that everyone would just dismiss. So I condensed my thoughts into this. If you have your reservations or disgust on anything in the goth realm keeping you from this band then forget them. Cause basically every band you listen to right now or ever have has had The Cure as an influence. Very confident to say that. I know, I think of Chris Kattan in the SNL skit 'Goth Talk' whenever I think about The Cure too but there is way more than that behind Robert Smith. Way more. Completely unrecognized musical pioneer/genius. Not sure where 'The Head on the Door' or 'Disintegration' rank on Rolling Stone's best albums list but who really cares. What do they know? Can't rant anymore. Can only post songs. Might take up a whole page in this blog but well deserved. We'll go through a quick timeline.
