The Cure

gotta disagree with zero & yourself here, I love Money For Nothing, cheesy as it is.
still, that track notwithstanding, at least listen to those other songs he posted (Tunnel Of Love is my favourite by far, and Telegraph Road defines 'epic'), if not a whole album or three. absolutely classic band with a good range of material, it's worth delving deeper to see if you like anything.
E. Spaceman:
I went looking for my Dire Straits album because of this thread, and failing to find them, i turned to Youtube. Man, they did some shit videos (the Tunnel of Love one specially stands out) but the one for Walk of Life made me really happy.
McTaggart:
An update; I bought Disintegration yesterday and I'm really enjoying it. I'll definitely be keeping and eye out for Staring at the Sea and Head on the Door. Thanks a lot everyone.
Oscaio:
My answer to what is my favorite band is "The Cure until they edited Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me" :lol: But I like Kiss Me and Disintegration as well.
Just to add my two cents. I love The Top, I believe it is a very uneven album (or transitional, as somebody said above), but Piggy in the mirror, Wailing Wall, the top and bananafishbones are great songs.
My favorites are the trilogy 17 seconds, pornography and Faith, they are pretty dark (I sound goth :|)... and the recording process was so unique and weird!
Staring at the sea is a good introduction, I agree. I wouldn't recommend anything after wish.

when you're in the right mood for them, the cure is a band who has all the right lyrics somwhere in that catalogue
