Was never a big Cure fan, even though there are songs I like. Doesn't really surprise me that they may be getting into the rock n roll hall of fame. The way that place is regulated defies logic, really....which isn't to say I don't think they deserve to get in. No doubt they've been influential on countless bands and have stuck it out long enough to where they deserve it.
Joy Division > The Cure + Smiths (totally hate the latter).
But yeah, I agree...all of the above are definitely "pop" bands. This term is often misunderstood.
