Lullaby^ is more betterer.

/link is hot like my love for The Cure

I am surprised by how much I still like that album.

FishyFred: /link is hot like my love for The Cure

Awesome.

Where's the freaky part?

SuperCatBarf: Where's the freaky part?

Robert Smith's afro silhouette!

"Boys Don't Cry" predates MTV.

What's wrong with that great video?

that's not even the freakiest Cure video:

I like The Cure. But that video wasn't freaky at all. Now, Bauhaus was freaky:

Video for "Mask". (new window)

good god i love the cure!

kiss me kiss me kiss me is the best album ever

/southpark had it wrong...disintegration was the 2nd best
//usually i just pop in galore...most of their best songs on 1 disc

best poster i ever bought

Art of Noise is stranger.

but not nearly as good.

solokumba: best poster i ever bought

I remember my brother buying that poster for like $25 (thems 1990 dollars) cause it was so rare or an import or something. It was the envy of all our Cure loving friends.

Charlotte Sometime's is my husbands favorite Cure song... Great video
Mine is Facination Street... Ok video

Apparently someone's never seent he video for In Between Days

Apparently subby hasn't seen many Cure videos.....Boys Don't Cry is relatively tame compared to quite a few other Cure videos...subby should get out more. The Cure are a quintessential 80's & 90's band...that is all.

Really? Every art-chick I knew in high school (late 80s) had that thing on their wall.

Clever video, though it was done years later. Smith still looked pretty normal when they originally recorded the song, unlike his more familiar silhouette in the video.

I'm confused ... Love this video but it isn't freaky at all and nowhere the freakiest of anything.

I was always partial to "High" for freaky Cure videos.

solokumba: poster best poster i ever bought

When I was in high school, I tried to convince my mother to let me redecorate my room based on that poster and another poster of Robert Smith which was black and white with red lips.

I had the biggest fangirl crush on Robert Smith. We had to create a circle of hell in sophomore English class when we read Dante. Mine was a music hell, with my guide, Bono, and the Beatrice figure was Robert Smith.

Yep, that video was done around "The Head on the Door" period when Robert re-recorded the lyrics to 'Boys Don't Cry'. As a nice touch though, they got original bassist Michael Dempsey back for that video, even though he left after the first record. Simon Gallup, who replaced him, remains a criminally under-appreciated bass player.

Oh, and second the 'Charlotte Sometimes' video. Mesmerizing.

Tim Pope rules.

Partial to this.

If subby thinks that qualifies as a 'freaky' video, I am guessing he has never seen a Throbbing Gristle video.

Close To Me is stranger.(new window)

Freaky?

THIS is freaky. Push It. (new window)

This was the first Cure video I had ever seen; my uncle used to tape videos on MTV and watch them when he babysat my brother and I. This freaked me out the first time I saw it, when I was about four or five in '83 or '84.
And yes, I own the Cure Video collection and their live DVDs. Notice I didn't say it was the "freakiest" Cure video or otherwise; it's just a bizarre little video that I thought we'd all enjoy.

/subby
//In Between Days is an awesome song

The Cure have made quit a few goofyvideos, and you still get people saying they are humorless. My favorite of their goofy videos (pops)

Did they ever make videos for One Hundred Years or Pornography? Anything off of the Faith album?

Ant: Did they ever make videos for One Hundred Years or Pornography? Anything off of the Faith album?

Yes, "Other Voices" would link to YT but @ work

Check out "Why can't I be you?" and check Robert's play on words with cant and coont. classic.

Aphex Twin. Yeah, that is freaky.

It Don't Move Me (new window)

Nothing to Worry About (new window)

Peter Bjorn and John are releasing some weird videos lately

It Don't Move Me has a kid dancing like MJ and an odd man present. It's creepy actually.

Nothing to Worry About contains an allstar pompadour from the Harajuku area.

Meh. Pictures of You was a better song.

Don't mean to derail the thread, but this is the image on my absolute favorite poster:



/25 years later, I still have that poster safe and sound
//Now, if only I could have her... *growf*

Partial to this.

Way too late, but that's a Pere Ubu cover.

/like the original better
