    Only one song of The Top, 'Shake Dog Shake' the same song they have been playing for 11 years now.

    Would be nice to see any of these songs return:

    Piggy in the Mirror
    Bananfishbones
    Caterpillar
    Give Me It
    Wailing Wall
    The Top

    What is the aversion to this album that Robert has? I don't get it. Especially with Porl back in the band.

    I really hope we see more of these songs from that list in the rotation, although 'Club America'? That is the biggest WTF on the list.

    and ya know, i was thinking: why the hell don't they do the awesome setlists they do for mexico? mexico always gets the best sets. i know they are unfathomably famous there and all, but what the hell! mexico deserves good setlists, but so does europe and the us.

    interesting to see Same Deep Water in there. will be interesting to hear without keyboards, unless that is one that Bob is waiting to break out his keytar on, along with Charlotte Sometimes. And looks like Boy I Never Knew might be on the album after all, since all 13 new songs are there. would be nice to see the set mixed up a bit more with some of those ones they haven't hit yet (except the execrable Club America).

    MOST of WMS RULZ. The songs are rad, but I think it's the STYLES of the songs that most people object to. They just aren't into jazzy funky swingy R&B Cure. I know, I know... ya'll like Lovecats and The Top stuff, but as I recall, a lot of peeps didn't like The Top when it came out, and I think WMS suffers from that same fate. I agree WMS is a bit out there and goofy, but that's why I loves me it!

    And I don't care if NO ONE else likes Club America, because I'm better than each and every one of you, and that's a FACT.

    Bring on DA CLUB!

    "Club America", simply put, is the worst song The Cure ever committed to tape. Listen to the backup vocals and throw up a little in your mouth and then you understand with perfect clarity. It should have been canned, left on the floor, burned, expunged, forgotten.

    (along with "Wrong Number")

    Awww! So many great fracking songs! To Wish Impossible Things, The Drowning Man, THE BIG HAND, The Figurehead, Charlotte Sometimes, Three Imaginary Boys, How Beautiful You Are, Want, Catch, A Letter to Elise!

    I'd have much preferred hearing these to Lullaby (I haven't enjoyed that song on album or from live recordings for years!), Let's Go to Bed, The Walk, Lovecats, Wrong Number, Never Enough, Inbetween Days, Just Like Heaven, Push, and A Forest, which I did hear.

    At least I got End, At Night, M, Shake Dog Shake, One Hundred Years, Disintegration, etc.

    Still they should get rid of the aforementioned songs or at least get rid of them more often. What do I care, though, their tour of my cities is done.

    How good are the odds the band will tour North America again when the second new album comes out? Hmmm..

    I agree, Millertime. I only heard The Top in a CD store for the first time on vacation in 2003, and was blown away by "Shake Dog Shake". When I finally got the album in 2006, it was quite neat. Give Me It, Piggy in the Mirror, The Caterpillar (which I've always loved, of course), and Bananafishbones are quite good.

    I also forgot to mention the awfulness that is "Why Can't I Be You?" I don't think I've ever liked that song past the first few months after I bought "Kiss Me" in the mid-90s. Hate it, though the guitar is a bit catchy.

    In contrast, "Close To Me" (single version) is one of my favorite Cure songs of all, but all the subtlties and textures, added instruments and Robert's rapid background breathing aren't there for the live version, making it quite boring.

    my dream setlist would contain

    other voices
    same deep water
    faith
    a letter to elise
    to wish impossible
    catch
    kyoto song
    shive and shake
    end
    siamese twins

    im sure we get to hear this songs especially for those attending more than 1 show. 4 out of 5 for me.

    Another vote for "Never" being the worst Cure song...EVER. It's called "never" as in they should've never written that song.

  58. AnonymousMay 22, 2008 at 6:54 PM

    todd, I agree, Never sucks. It's the worst song on the self-titled album, with Us or Them following closely behind, and that's tied with alt.end.

    Someone is complainig about what Mexico´s always get the best setlist.

    I live in Mexico City and the only things i can say about it is:

    1)The first Cure concert took place at Monterrey in 1992, Cure take so many years to come and this concert was a total chaos, soldout, extremely heat,40,000 people went mad when Cure got to stage.

    2)12 long years after this show for the first time Cure at Mexico City, 3 in a row 20,0000 seats soldouts, breaking records of the fastest ticket selling, the first of this 3 dates soldout in less than 10 minutes.

    Bunch of fans slept outside the ticket sales places for getting the best seats.

    Look for a Faith video of the second night were thousands of lighters on and on to the drum beat, i swear the faces of them expressed, "i can´t believe that"

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=wbX_XMqyzII

    Hang on to 2.10 min

    The 3 nights we sung as loud that the music and voice almost been unhearable.


    3)October 2007, almost the same as 2004, 3 concerts in a row, and we just want more.

    I think the main reason because The Cure always give us their best is simply as they receive the same.

    Not too much countries love The Cure as we do.

    Nowadays,Mexico is the few places where The Cure surely will have souldouts and added shows because the demand of tickets.

    We only have had 8 concerts in 30 years of Cure career !!!

    Smith and Co. know that, so we deserve the best....

    Burn

    All I Want and The Exploding Boy get honorable mention

    The Worst:

    Dredd Song
    Club America
    Speak My Language
    Dressing Up
    Wendy Time
    Round & Round & Round
    Never
    Never Enough
    Meathook
    The Empty World

    There actually _is_ a studio version of Forever, albeit not a proper "album" one. They recorded one for a stance of the John Peel Sessions in 1981, alongside with Holy Hour, All Cats Are Grey and Primary.
    (Just found an interesting link from the BBC about that, you might want to check it:

    And there was me naively praying for Burn to have been slipped in there. Oh well I guess I can dream right?

    I see it runs up to new song #13. So probably that's how many tracks the new CD will count.
    Come Christmas ...

    How in the hell did Crowbiwan get a shot of this list? That's pretty sweet. Lots of songs I'd love to see on here, but I always seem to get the Greatest Hits Popfest when I see them.

    Here's one more vote for THE HOLY HOUR...also...SAME DEEP WATER AS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello. Another long time lurker wanting to comment on worst/best song.

    Mikey took my pic. I think Dredd Song is the worst thing they've ever committed to tape. After Wish, followed by the beautiful non-album tracks Burn and Purple Haze (which I like both Cure versions) they release Dredd Song? As Mikey said, Dreddful indeed! No wonder some Cure fans had a hard time accepting Jason as drummer. His intro to fans was on this atrocity.

    As for best song, it's not my all time favorite, but I think that Before Three is one of the most underrated Cure songs ever. I've always felt that it is to the self-titled album what Deep Green Sea is to Wish. Classic melodic bassline and powerful lyrics. Maybe I just like the lyrics because I'm pushing 40, but damn. I'd love to see that song get put in rotation.

    Anyway, just my two cents worth.

    the song that everyone hates that i actually sort of like: 'dredd song.'

    yeah, i know. it's a bad re-write of 'fight' (i would LOVE to hear 'fight' live!) but something about it is so anthemic, i just really dig it. the guitar is really quite lovely...

    but how anybody can say 'dressing up' and 'the empty world' are in their worst list is beyond me. i was listening to the top this morning, and i forgot how great an album it is...

    I seriously don't know if I could choose a top 10...but I'll try:

    The Same Deep Water As You
    Fascination Street
    Disintegration
    From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea
    The Figurehead
    Holy Hour
    Watching Me Fall
    If Only Tonight We Could Sleep
    Drowning Man
    Faith

    I feel dirty leaving off 100 Years, A Forest, 10:15 Saturday Night, The Kiss, Prayers for Rain, Plainsong, Lovesong, Last Dance (nobody mentions this song, but I love it!) Open, Want, Out of This World, Where the Birds Always Sing

    Worst 10?

    Never
    Just Say Yes
    Dredd Song
    Us or Them
    Lost
    Round & Round & Round
    Club America
    Screw
    The Snakepit
