The Cure. Your fave tracks.

Boys Don't Cry. Off their first Elpee wasn't it? I like it for the guitar riff, simple but catchy, and I remember going to see a band in the early 80s who covered it. I also remember Steve Lukather having a pop at them for doing Purple Haze at some Hendrix tribute gig. Don't think they were virtuo-istic enough to be playing Hendrix in Mr Lukathers eyes, so I like them for that by default. No issue with Lukather other than that, I bought a dvd tutor of his so I could learn the guitar solo to Rosannah.

 

Album boys don't cry is the boy for me but this:

 

Charlotte Sometimes



Lullaby

 

Curiously, this post has caused me to google '...and also the trees' and amazingly they are still a band. This comes as an absolute shock to me, as back in the day I was at art college with the guitarist, a pleasant bloke who used too much aftershave at 19 and whose name completely eludes me. Even browsing through the various websites/previous members etc. nothing, absolutely nothing rings a bell.
He was certainly the guitarist when they played Loughborough University as we'd both built electric guitars for our A level design project, I remember it as though it were yesterday, I just can't remember his name...

 

me too... never managed to finish it though!

 

Mine is superb,
Woman assessor turned up, I turned up the amp, made the metal axe of joy howl like a wild animal/electric banshee for the allotted time and she awarded me (and the bloke from the trees) a grade E. The ****

 

Hehe... I managed to scape a C... my paperwork must have been good.

Listening to "Jumping Someone Else's Train" now. The vinyl still sounds good. Hard to pick a favourite. Always used to like "In Your House". Might put that on...

 

"Lullaby"?

 

I used to love the TV show "Mary White House experience" they did a cure parody sketch of them singing nursery rhymes etc which made me laugh, I bought Friday I'm in love but wasn't a big fan tbh.
It's got a good beat.

I think their record company couldn't see the tongue in cheek apsect of all the misery hence Fiday I'm in Love to keep em happy.
I saw them at Glastonbury a long time ago.
They were fun to copy if you couldn't play very complicated guitar and had some swooshy effects pedals.

 

i just dont remember

 

It's memories for me wee boys don't cry (or three imaginary boys, guess I had the import or rerelease) loved 10.15 and subway song but the whole thing is fantastic. I'm going to listen to it later and sure it will just transport me back. Remember once being a bit wired and no one to play with going to a biker do at the local nightspot with my borrowed Walkman on listening to this and the scream on a loop. Guess the Walkman would give it away that it was some time in the early 80s at the earliest. Guess I invented the silent disco except the silence was heavy metal.

 

Hmm, Lovely...
