Guest Shadow Posted March 31, 2005 Report 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.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 You could always tell her "I don't know songs by The Cure" and you know, have someone that DOES make the CD.
Guest Shadow Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 well i thought i'd just be nice to her and I didn't think it would be a hassle for someone to give me a few recomendations.

Edwin MacPhisto Posted March 31, 2005 Report 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.
Red Baron Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 on second thought, just get Disintergration, that alone should get you into The Cure
Guest theanswer1824 Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 obscure cure songs: at the edge of the deep green sea trust the hanging garden jumping someone else's train the walk killing an arab* (not too obscure but it doesn't get mentioned a lot)
Red Baron Posted April 1, 2005 Report Posted April 1, 2005 I just listen to the acoustic version of Boys Don't Cry, and I prefer that version over the original.
Henry Spencer Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 10:15 On A Saturday Night is one of my favorites, in addition to most of the ones already mentioned.
Nighthawk Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 "The Baby Screams" is my absolute favorite Cure song.
