johnny Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Since The Cure have been in "Heal or Hurt" they've been getting "Hurt" alot more than "Healed". I'm just wondering why people dislike (or like) them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I don't dislike them, I just listen to the other groups that are on the list more.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Fair enough.... Anyone else have a different view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I'm not much of a fan, but that could be because of a lack of exposure The video to Boys Don't Cry was one of the first ones that I activily remember watching. Then there's of course Friday I'm in Love, and I honestly enjoy Cut Here very much but I'm not sure that I really know much more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 honestly enjoy Cut Here very much "Cut Here is about Billy Mackenzie (from the Associates) who committed suicide in 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Ry 71 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Since The Cure have been in "Heal or Hurt" they've been getting "Hurt" alot more than "Healed". I'm just wondering why people dislike (or like) them? I'm not much of a fan, but that could be because of a lack of exposure I think that's the answer you're looking for. You know, when I'm coming up with new bands for you folks to choose from, it always seems like a struggle to meet both ends of the stick: the more modern, alternative rock people of the 90s (like yourself), and the older, more laided-back 60s group. Whenever a modern band is added, odds are they quickly fall in a few days. The 90s people talk to me about the disadvantage of this, so I cut them a break and usually try to make one of the choices a band they're more familiar with, but since this site is so pro-classic oldies, those people don't understand it and kill them off. At least, that's what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I have been listening to them since the early eighties, seen them, wrote about them, I never met Smith though (or maybe I did? I don´t remember... the 80s were very intense...) and I payed no attention to them. In the 90s everybody around me worshiped them and somehow I started to like them. Now I think they´re very good. They have been quite original. Not the punk band anymore whose leader used to lend a hand to Siouxsie when she toured or was in the studio...

skybluesky Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I like The Cure, particularly Boys Don’t Cry Close to Me Catch Why Can’t I Be You? Just Like Heaven Pictures of You Love Song Friday, I’m in Love A Letter to Elise Strange Attraction but they are a little out of my ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 The 90s people talk to me about the disadvantage of this, so I cut them a break and usually try to make one of the choices a band they're more familiar with, but since this site is so pro-classic oldies, those people don't understand it and kill them off. At least, that's what I think. Ooh Ry, I don't think that's it at all. Take a look at the game. I don't think it's the older people that kill them off, I think it's the other way around. I don't believe I've ever hurt them. I think it's the younger people responsible for hurting them. I don't know them. They are not a new band, by any means, they just don't play my kind of music. Y'all don't hear me complaining that "everyone's hurting the Eagles or Seger" do you? Sometimes it seems to me that the younger people want us older ones to be open minded about their music (again The Cure is NOT new), but many of the younger ones refuse to give an older (classic or not) band a shot at all. I feel a little reverse discrimination upon occaision myself. I don't know that the site is pro-classic at all. Pro good maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Pretty much why I never suggest any music on any thread anymore. If no one really knows the band I am talking about, I really don't blame them keeping the others they recognise in the chart/list/game. I listen to my own thing, I don't worry if anyone else likes them or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 This one? This cover is one of Rolling Stone Magazine's top 50 album covers of all time. It's actually an incredibly cool album, and just one of many... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) Ry..... I'd say they're one of the most worthwile bands of the 80's Batman, I realize you are talking about the Cure.... but, I'll take this opportunity to tell y'all. I like any chance I can get to promote Beefheart! Ry, Don Van Vliet, who is generally accepted as being sheer genius (read that odd) left and the band disbanded in '82. They released their first recordings in 1966, the first being a version of Bo Diddley's Doo Wah Diddy. Their best known album (but just one of many) is Trout Mask Replica, and it was released in '69. By the way, the album is #58 on Rolling Stone's Top 500. If that means anything. They aren't Rock 'n' Roll...but I like 'em!

Super Ry 71 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 By the way, [Trout Mask Replica] is #58 on Rolling Stone's Top 500. This phrase is forever proven inadequate due to the fact that it is a list created by Rolling Stone(<--Boo! ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) Lately I've been a bit turned off by RS Magazine too. But for some reason I just renewed my 2 year subscription Edited October 9, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Coincidentally, I've been listening to Beefheart a bit recently. A friend has lent me "Safe As Milk" and "Lycanthorpe's Pig". Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
