Crawley, England (1976 – present)

The Cure is a legendary and influential alternative rock band which formed during the punk era of the 1970s in Crawley, England. The band started playing together in 1976 while Robert Smith and Laurence Tolhurst were still in secondary school. They remain one of the most enduring bands of the last thirty years, as proven by receiving the ‘Godlike Genius’ award at the Shockwaves NME Awards in February, 2009. The Cure has gone through several lineup changes, however, their current lineup resembles an early lineup consisting of founding member Robert Smith (vocals, guitar), original guitarist Porl Thompson (guitar), long-standing member Simon Gallup (bass) and Jason Cooper (drums). Smith is the only member who has continuously been in the band since its formation. The Cure’s full lineup history is as follows: Robert Smith (Vocals & Guitar 1976-present), Lol Tolhurst (Drums & Keyboards 1976-1989), Michael Dempsey (Bass 1976-1979), Porl Thompson (Guitar & Keyboards 1976-1978, 1983-1992, 2005 -present), Simon Gallup (Bass & Keyboards 1979-1982, 1985-present), Mathieu Hartley (Keyboards 1979 -1980), Andy Anderson (Drums 1983-1984), Phil Thornalley (Bass 1983-1984), Boris Williams (Drums 1984-1994), Roger O’Donnell (Keyboards 1987 -1990, 1995-2005), Perry Bamonte (Guitar & Keyboards 1990-2005), Jason Cooper (Drums 1995-present).

It sometimes feel like Faith is their best album. I know it isn't, but I can't help but get that feeling from time to time.

One of my favorite bands of all time, I could listen to The Cure 24/7 but that would be obsessive..hmm I wonder if that's a bad thing.

Best band in the world. Even though (not to be the complete fanboy) they've done some average/mediocre things, "Wild Mood Swings" or "4:13 Dream" in my opinion. But the 1979-1992 period is purely wonderful. Top 5 "Disintegration" (the legend) - "Seventeen Seconds" (my first cure experience) - "Wish" (why so much hate?^^) - "Pornography" (DARK) and "The Head on the Door" (perfect pop side). I can't await for the remastered edition of Disintegration next year!
