I didn't actually like Lullaby that much when it came out, I just thought it was a stupid song about spiders. I remember playing Babble a lot more! I appreciate it much more now.
when lullaby came out the video was played everywhere and when you urned the radio on it was like an obsession....maybe it's the reason why i almost hate Disintegration
I agree with your sentiments when it comes to Lullaby, i grew and am still a little tired of it even now. But Disintegration as a whole I never grow tired of.
i grew up listening the albums before KMKMKM and when it came out the change of style disappointed me a bit. on The Top they quite touched the ground, saving just some old fan with Standing on a Beach, so i thought they would never been more commercial than KMKMKM...what a pity the first listen i gave to Disintegration i almost threw the tape out of the window
I get what you're on about, psicho (I LOVE that nick, haha ). I feel similar about Wish. I discovered The Cure when the Wish album came out, FIIL was on heavy rotation everywhere and anywhere, High as well. I do like the album but I don't really find myself wanting to listen to it too often, maybe once a year? I prefer Pornography, Faith or Disintegration.

where a im , if you ask someone what song by The Cure you know, they will all answer "Lullaby and Close to me", you know why, because it was two songs passing loop the radio ...weird

It was 1983, if i remember it right, when i saw the Lovecats video, then i watched the performance from Live from the Alabama Hall (Jan. 1984) x-times and i was hooked. My sister was at the concert and my mother recorded it on videotape. She taped me Pornography and the top on cassette. I listened first to Pornography, can't now say why. So it's my sister's fault that i became a Cure Fan, hihi
I walk wondering why, the same dream so many times
I started with The Cure in 1987. Lovecats was my first single. I was nicely surprised, but not totally convinced, for I was too drawn into Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and other "heavy"-stuff. The real show started for me in 1989, but first with KMKMKM and then with Disintegration. Until today, I think that regarding my "development" it's a biggest shame that I somehow skipped The Cure in those two years between 1987 and 1989, still somehow I was more open to Depeche Mode and Sisters of Mercy. Unfortunately, my surrounding was not so much into The Cure, so I never was "introduced" to the band. To be honest, The Kiss on KMKMKM was the first song where I was really in position to see how The Cure are capable to destroy with guitar sound! I was in a way stupid enough at that times still to think how guitars are just "precious". After The Kiss I was so overwhelmed with KMKMKM that I simply can not let it go even 25 years later! I am still inclined to think that KMKMKM is the best album for everyone to start with The Cure, because of flexibility and versatility of songs. Line of the albums for me after KMKMKM and Disintegration in 1989, 1990 and 1991 was strange a little bit: THOTD, TIB, Faith, Pornography, The Top, Seventeen Seconds and Japanese Whispers in the end. Faith and Pornography took me from the day one. It was much harder for The Top and Japanese Whispers to come to the surface. I had my phases, with some bands going up and down with years and decades, but not with The Cure. Since 1989 they are undisputed No. 1 for me and right now I don't think that this constellation will ever change.

The first song that I've heard was "39" (it was about two years ago, I think) and I liked it, but at that moment I didn't look for anything else (maybe it's better, because at that time I had this phase for bands like Guns N' Roses, Kiss or Bon Jovi, so.. ). A bit later, I've heard their most popular ones, like Lovesong, Lullaby, Friday I'm in love... But in fact, it all started when my friend has found an old casette that belonged to her uncle - it was the album 'Children' by The Mission, we listened to it and I loved it, and because of them I started liking the 'goth rock' stuff. And eventually that has led me into The Cure... I listened to Pornography and fell in love immediately... And the rest just happened
The dream had to end
The wish never came true
And the girl starts to sing
