Alright, LOOK, the Curelovefest you guys have going needs to fucking stop. Goth-lite (well, "goth" alone is bad enough), seriously mediocre lyrics, a complete embarrassment when they went "psychedelic pop", all ran by a guy who looks like he went trick-or-treating over thirty years ago and got lost on his way home. As Morrissey said (way before he himself became an embarrassment), "The Cure: a new dimension to the word 'crap'".
I know several of the artists I love (J Mascis, Britt Daniel, Cowboy Junkies) love The Cure, but what can I tell ya: they're wrong.
