Guest Shadow Report post Posted March 31, 2005 A friend of mine wants me to make her a Cure cd. However, Im not that keyed into the cure and instead of slapping the first 18 songs that comes up on a cd, I want to make a quality cd, even if it's a double disc mix. I dont trust "The Best of" albums because im not sure if those are just there most popular hits or the record companies selections. I want their best pieces, there known work and the work that may be crucial to the element of The Cure. Any help will be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2005 The Cure's collected albums are actually pretty good starters. The two worthwhile collections are Staring at the Sea for early stuff through The Head on the Door, and Galore for everything after. I could do without a few tracks ("Hot Hot Hot" and "Never Enough," namely), but they're largely solid. I'd say you can split the Cure up into two sets of two styles: minimal vs. lush, or angsty vs. gleeful. My particular favorites out of the hits are "A Night Like This," "In Between Days," "A Letter To Elise," and "Pictures of You." One non-hit you should put on there is "Plainsong," a really gorgeous track off Disintegration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
