@@snailysnail0 That happened to us in Maine as teens in the late 80s. There was. only one alternative radio station in the state and it was awesome... strictly alternative and punk. Then one morning my roommate snapped on the radio and they were playing like, Creedence Clearwater Revival: not that I hate them but clearly our beloved WTOS had changed to classic rock with no warning AT ALL. We and our friends were devastated. The community in the town the station was in held a funeral for the station and we made the front page of the local newspaper, and they actually quoted my 19 year old self lol.

Amber, the beat that you hear in 80s (and late 70s) is the "industrial" sound common to much of the new wave music of the era. Check out New Order (their early albums like Movement), Joy Division, Gary Neuman, Tubeway Army, Skinny Puppy, Killing Joke, Front 242, and Nine Inch Nails for an idea of how industrial music developed through the 80s and into the 90s. Amber, you are spot on about the sound of early new wave industrial.

Great reaction! "Melancholy" is a pretty spot on assessment of his tone. Of course this is a more radio friendly and somewhat pop-ish song for them but a lot of their music is on the sadder and darker side. They have such a massive catalog though with some bright and fun songs as well that I think you would enjoy. They (Robert Smith - lead singer and main creative director) have been around since the late 70's and still perform pretty regularly other than during pandemic times. I believe "The Cure" will be releasing an album this year or next as well. Their first since 2008. Thanks for the reaction.

I lived in NYC when The Cure were nearing it's height of popularity. They did, at the time, attract a hard core scene of Gothic Punks. The East Village clubs especially played their music incessantly. I see nothing wrong with being called Goth since it was pretty accurate. Also, The Cure, were typically not a big time Top 10 band. It wasn't until "Friday, I'm in Love" when the band received crazy air play.

@kellypedersen6590 2 жыл бұрын

"Melancholy" is the PERFECT word to decribe The Cure. In the 80s, they were usually described as the poppier side of goth, or the darker side of British pop; and until grunge came along, they were seen as one of the most popular "alternative" bands in the world. This album (1987's "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me") never left my Walkman; no small accomplishment, as it's a double album. :)

The Cure is part of the Gothic (Goth) musical genre that began in the 70s and peaked in the 80s/90s. The genre sound and aesthetic is generally dark and melancholy having taken inspiration from gothic novels and flicks. The Cure is the best of the goth bands in my opinion because they created such pop tracks overladen with melancholy/mysterious sounds as well as darker wave sounds for the more devoted goths. Robert Smith’s voice is such a crucial part of their sound displaying sadness dressed in a London cockney accent. Just Like Heaven was definitely influenced by the danceable r&b keyboard-driven new wave pop that came from the UK in the early 80s. They are one of the most creative and unique bands of all-time. Thanks for the memories and God Bless you.

How is this your FIRST time listening to The Cure?!?!?! Outrageous. Robert Smith is divine. They are gothic new wave post punk rock type shenanigans. This is late 80s - 87. They formed in 78 and the lead singer is Robert Smith, a gothic icon. The Cure was and arguably still are HUGE! 80s/90s were huge for alternative/punk/goth subculture (I was there) and this band was iconic. 'Close to me', 'Friday I'm in Love', or 'Pictures of You' might be good to do next for you two. Although I'd like to see you react to 'Love Cats' :) So many great songs (and hits) from The Cure!

Reading a book on the friendship between Robert and Tol right now. I knew Robert and Mary had been together a long time, just read they became a couple during middle school, around 13 years old. 💕 The Cure tour in support of this album was the first live concert I took my 12 year old son to.

The Cure were considered "alternative" at this time. Very "underground." The cool kids in black leather and punk rock haircuts or shy introverts were into this at the time. Which was 1987 from the album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. I was 14. I remember when this came out like yesterday.

Cure: “Let’s Go To Bed”, “Shake Dog Shake”, “Fascination Street”, “Love Cats”, “In Between Days” If you want to get into their earlier, darker material before they started doing more catchy, radio-friendly tunes, try “Charlotte Sometimes” and “The Hanging Garden”. So glad you’ve been getting into post-punk / new wave.

I absolutely love the way Amber describes that kind a beat/rhythm thing that is so prominent in a lot of 80s music! She really does a fabulous job of expressing herself! She did a similarly wonderful job when they reacted to Blue by Leanne Rimes. I love watching Amber’s reaction and she always has something interesting and spot on to say

The song was released in 1987, on the album Kiss Me Kiss Me, Kiss Me. It was written about the singer Robert Smith's first kiss as a 14 year old, at Beachy Head in England, with a girl named Mary Poole. Smith fainted. The significance of the ghostly figure that he dances with in the video, is that she's Mary Poole. They got married in 1988, and are still together.

Love The Cure and this is one of my favorite songs by them! They started as a "Goth" rock band on the 80s but they just make great music. I love "Friday I'm in Love", "Lovesong", "Inbetween Days" "Pictures of You". They are still very popular.

I have often referred to The Cure as dark and beautiful. They seem to write songs that you like but don't fall in love with it until you read the lyrics. I would also note that this song is the result of the cure being way more famous then they ever wanted to be.

I was a teen indie kid in the 80's, and The Cure were the goth band most people liked, the chirpy accessible side of goth, most clubs had an alternative music night, one club where I lived was alternative every night, it's funny thinking back to 80's UK alternative clubs, you'd walk in and there'd be goths in one corner, indie kids in another and your metal/rock kids in another, and for certain songs only one crowd would dance, but then there were songs which everyone danced to, everyone danced to The Cure, not just the goths.
