I just started listening to them like 3 months ago and they have became my favorite band over Marilyn Manson. They helped me get over my last relationship and I can't think of anything better for a break up remedy! Has anyone seen them live? I'm dying to see them but I can only dream til the day comes.

So what's your favorite album? Song? Etc?

I'm a pretty large fan. My name here is a reference to their first album (originally I used the much longer '3rdimaginaryboy').

I only started listening to them around '88 or so (I'm old) and managed to see them twice while still living in Toronto. Unfortunately I haven't seen them since moving to NYC in the last decade because ticket prices are just INSANE and I don't care how big of a favourite you are, I'm not likely to bother with a $100 concert ticket (or whatever they were going for).

Don't really have a favourite album or song. I like to think they manage to have a pretty decent range if you consider everything they've ever put out, so it really just comes down to the mood I'm in.

This old thread is relevant.

Here's what I said in that thread back in 2003:

EVERY Cure song has a special place, person, or memory attached to it for me. Too many to list in one post

Yeah, I'm with elisabeth on this one. And Trilobyte about Bloodflowers. I was skeptical after a recent string of crap, but Bloodflowers is really good.

Three Imaginary Boys, One Hundred Years, Faith, A Night Like This, The Empty World, A Forest (especially the live version off the video "The Cure in Orange"), The Walk, Charlotte Sometimes, Sinking, A Strange Day, The Kiss, Six Different Ways, Like Cockatoos, Catch, Jumping Someone Else's Train, Every song on "Disintegration" (my all time favorite album by any band, bar none), High, A Letter to Elise, From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea, The Big Hand, Bloodflowers...

All of these and many others all have vivid memories and stories, people, events, whole periods of my life associated with them. I get a little nostalgic just listing the names of the songs.

I'll add that I go through phases where I'll listen to one album or another a lot for awhile, and then I won't listen to anything of theirs for a couple months, and then I'll pick up a different album and put it into heavy rotation, etc.

I started listening to The Cure in '89, after they played Just Like Heaven at the MTV Video Music Awards. They quickly became my favorite band, and while my tastes over the years have changed a lot (or, rather, I've added a whole lot of different kinds of music to my taste), I'd still consider them my favorite band. I own almost everything they've released, which is a whole hell of a lot of music.

I've seen them about 6 times, and each time has been amazing.

I'm still waiting for them to release The Cure in Orange on DVD. Robert said in 2009 it would be coming out "next year." *sigh*

Umm Yes. I guess the song I like best is The Love Cats. It's wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully pretty.
