The Cure
Dimmukane:
How can you like The Cure? The Cure is silly.
Jackie Blue:
Their albums are a bit hit or miss and everything after Disintegration is pretty much horrible.
My favorites are Boys Don't Cry (first album, doesn't sound like their later work much at all, pop/new-wave/punk) and Disintegration (epic, sweeping, by far the best one to get if you like Sigur Ros or post-rock in general - the first song alone is worth the price of the entire album - also, if you synch it up with Disney's original Fantasia it fits perfectly).
Pornography is also pretty good, and the tommy-mentioned singles collection is almost pure gold, if you just want their early bouncy songs.
Also, Tricky's cover of "The Love Cats" is really great.
Jackie Blue:
I sincerely had no idea that Robert Palmer had a career outside of "Addicted to Love" and "Simply Irresistable".
Man, I'd have loved to see that festival though. The Cure in their early stages and Dire Straits (one of my all-time favorite bands ever). Damn.

I think anyone who really tries to make their mark on the world through music is going to be somewhat silly by default but I love them for it anyway.
Jackie Blue:
I got into Dire Straits very early, due to the "Money For Nothing" video and the fact that Douglas Adams mentions them. They're probably the first "good" band I ever liked; between '86 and '88 I bought all their albums.
Since then, I've come to regard Brothers in Arms as one of their weakest efforts, but I absolutely love Making Movies and Love Over Gold to this day.
Why don't I seem like a Dire Straits fan? I listen to pretty much literally everything, as long as it's good. And I thought I'd mentioned being a Bruce Springsteen fan on here; it's not a big stretch to connect early Boss with early Dire Straits.
