Totally nothing to do with the subject but I can't start a new one so here goes: What's your fantasy and favourite cure line ups? I'm sure it's been done before but for what it's worth from a sad Cure geek, here's mine ;P
Fantasy Cure line up:
Robert Smith - Vocals + Guitar Simon Gallup - Bass Porl Thompson - Lead Guitar Lol Tolhurst - Drums Roger O'Donnell - Keyboards
Favourite cure line ups: 1980-1982: Robert Smith - Vocals, Guitar + Keyboards Simon Gallup - Bass Lol Tolhurst - Drums
1984-1987: Robert Smith - Vocals + Guitar Simon Gallup - Bass Porl Thompson - Guitar Lol Tolhurst - Keyboards Boris Williams - Drums
1987-1988: Robert Smith - Vocals + Guitar Simon Gallup - Bass Porl Thompson - Guitar Lol Tolhurst - Keyboards Roger O'Donnell - Keyboards Boris Williams - Drums
1989: Robert Smith - Vocals + Guitar Simon Gallup - Bass Porl Thompson - Guitar Roger O'Donnell - Keyboards Boris Williams - Drums
2005 - Present: Robert Smith - Vocals + Guitar Simon Gallup - Bass Porl Thompson - Guitar + Keyboards Jason Cooper - Drums
my favorite Cure lineup, btw, btw would include Siouxsie Sioux and perhaps the Thin White Duke himself... fantasy, right?
And what are the prevailing thoughts on Boris? I for one like his drumming, it felt maybe robotic and a tad uncreative (like compared with Jason, who uses bongos :X), but very consistent with the themes in the music. eh?

It's funny how she says, "Is it September yet?" Sorry but you'll have to wait till October now!
ReplyDeleteI agree with 7bluestars, best lineup 1989 with the fantasy being the same for me!
