The Cure made some stupendous records. To have made such soaring throw-yerself-round-the-room classics like In Between Days & Friday I'm In Love would be good enough, but then they have done so much off-the-wall pop genius like Close To Me and Let's Go To Bed that they are marked out as Something Special.
Beyond all that, the real magnificence of them is in the dark melancholic textural work - the brooding richness and depth of Disintegration and Faith overwhelms me whenever I can face listening to them.
Relax Dizzy, it certainly ain't just you.
