YuLun said: Agreed. They're an incredibly innovative band. First I heard was the Charlotte Sometimes single. I was hooked from there. (11/6/2008)
Throwurfoot said: I became addicted to The Cure after listening to Show. I was blown away by the power of Smith's voice and the overall composition of the songs. Wish people would dig a little into their catalogue instead of listening to just the hits. (11/8/2008)

"It Used To Be Me"
Thanks for reminding me how much I used to love this song! It is fantastic!!! (11/9/2008)
robotFrank said: Lots of great lists here! I love when people write a lot of comments, I couldn't help myself but do the same. So many of these songs were and are so very important to me. Also, nice to see people using cuts from "The Top" on here, as well as "Concert", "Join The Dots". Some true fans around these parts! :) You are all my friends. (11/9/2008)
lilisakurita said: I belive this is the best Band ever!! at least in my personal opinion the cure is the best of all! Robert Smiht is the best singer I have ever seen. I love the cure. It would be such a lovely gift to receive an autograph poster by him. I made a big huge banner for them and I got to show it on a cure concert in Los Angeles May 31st 2008. But i didn't got to meet Robert ahhh! :(

It's really nice finally seeing people that truly love them this much. You guys are great. The Cure: astoundingly amazing. They've impacted my life for ever. 5choices far too difficult to narrow it down to that little for such a talented band. I hope they never ever go away. They are the 'only one's'! (11/10/2008)

maximopi said: I think it's amazing the way each album sounds different and has its own spirit
and yet how recognizable the band is... In most cases just hearing the first notes of one of their songs is enough to know this is the band you're listening to, and that's due to its amazing talent for creating unique moods
god i love them, 4:13 dream rocks, can't stop listening to Sirensong (11/10/2008)
maximopi said: oh, and that. i hated having only 5 choices, i would've definetely included more songs i know feel guilty for not naming (11/10/2008)
bantha said: You can't sum the genius of this band in 5 songs... i picked up the ones I listened the most and the ones that make me cry all the time when I hear them live (11/10/2008)
buzlarkralicesi said: i have been trying to choose JUST 5 songs for two hours.. why do we have to choose just five songs? god, this was harsh!!
i try to choose my list according to my tear level :D (11/10/2008)
Peter7248 said: A Forest, Breathe, Lovesong, Friday I'm in Love, From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea (11/10/2008)
kissandswallow said: white_rabbit: i totally think "Lullaby" is hot too! haha.
anyhow. i wish i could have put a Cult Hero song on here. eh. guess it doesn't count! (11/11/2008)
Pilar said: Fascination Street and The Kiss, but so hard to go for just one song I think each one of them is so special, such and interesting mixture of sound and cords and Of course Robert's voice. (11/11/2008)
nice said: Disintegration (from Entreat)
Just Like Heaven
Boys Don't Cry (partly because my two-year old son punches the air when I put it on - solidarity reg)
Plainsong (opened the first gig I saw and when they open with it you know it's going to be good - plus it opens the best album in the world ever)
Faith (live version on Charlotte Sometimes)
A Forest (live version on Hanging Garden)
Yes there's a pattern but as a live band they're just something else. At Hyde Park in 02 they played the opening tracks to about 15 albums. Nuts. Met them once in 1996 when the plans for Trilogy consisted of the entire back catalogue one night at a time. I think a good compromise was found.
Experiencing people discover the genius of Disintegation is one of the most rewarding pleasures there is.
That and seeing the gig time tick over 3 hours at the RAH two years ago after a cracking set

VanianLve89 said: disappointed that the top songs are "pop songs" and not LYRICALLY BRILLIANT songs when there are just TOO MANY to choose from in that category! I mean, come on, it is ROBERT SMITH we're talking about people ... a poet, a writer, a musical genius ... a GOD!! It took me FOREVER to pick my top 5 and I can't say with ANY CERTAINTY WHATSOEVER that they ARE STILL my top 5 right now or in 5 minutes from now, or in another playlist jump from now ... I see there are people here that would totally agree with me; and for that, I am BLISSFUL! (12/16/2008)
Whitenoize said: 'To The Sky' is my favorite.
For years it was impossible to find this track, but they finally released it on the 'Join the Dots: B-Sides & Rarities' album. Give it a listen! (12/16/2008)
DDD said: I cant believe this list, seems there is some serious omissions but I guess it's the taste of the people on here. I just had to join up so I could voice my humble opinion.
I. Primary (the first cure song I heard and still my fav)
2. A Forest (esp the unplugged version)
3. Love Song (this is poppy but brilliant)
4. Never Enough (just full of energy)
5. Pictures Of You (hauntingly beautiful) (12/27/2008)
