The Cure is a band that’s always been around for me. I didn’t become a fan until I was ten or eleven. This band is one I won’t listen to for stretches at a time, but when I revisit it, it’s like meeting with an old friend again. I think this will be a band I’ll never get sick of, like I have with say Green Day or Pink Floyd, to an extent.

Anyhow, here are my top ten favorite Cure songs.
1. “Doing the Unstuck” – Wish
2. “Close to Me” – Head in the Door
3. “Let’s Go to Bed” – Let’s Go to Bed – Single
4. “Just Like Heaven” – Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
5. “Lullaby” – Disintegration
6. “Cut Here” – Greatest Hits
7. “The Lovecats” – The Lovecats – Single
8. “Love Song” – Disintegration
9. “Fascination Street” – Disintegration
10. “Boys Don’t Cry” – Three Imaginary Boys/Boys Don’t Cry

[...] A fellow Baltimore blogger is also a huge of the band James, and it was playing on my mp3 player when I took this photo of a new Moleskine a few weeks ago. Hence the title, from the tune of the same name: All is frustration I can’t meet all my desires Strange conversation Self-control has just expired [...]

I’m glad I’m not the only James fan. SEVEN is one of my favorite records from the 90s.

I grew up listening to (and loving) the Cure because my mom had me too young and listened to all the cool shit in her 20s while I was still impressionable. When I got to high school and college and kids my age were just discovering the Cure, I thought it was so weird that the people who were super into them were of a certain type — the exact type that you described. I also found it weird that they had all just discovered the band recently and didn’t know each song since childhood.

I guess I was just under the impression that the cure was a “mom” band. I thought all of my friend’s moms listened to the Cure and The Smiths and shit. I thought it was like Oldies, or something, I guess. But it turns out, I was ahead of the curve and super awesome, thanks to my mom!

Interesting post! I was the overacheiver sorority girl who you’d never guess was a huge Cure fan but my brilliant druggie next-door-neighbor in the dorm got me hooked to all sorts of alternative 80′s music that wasn’t Madonna. The Cure is probably still my all-time favorite band.

I’d say that my favorite songs have got to be “From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea,” “2 Late,” and “Lovesong.” I love coming across covers of “Lovesong,” and have heard Tori Amos do it twice already. Still, there’s not a lot of Cure music I DON’T like, so it would be hard to pick out just ten best, but those three are ones I could listen to over and over and over again (and probably have!). Maybe I’ll give it more thought.

Great post!
