hey sophia. you are right, however I see in the cure much more than the mopiness that many fans seems to identify with. I tend to prefer their more agressive side. my #1 was 'From the edge of the deep green sea'.
Fascination Street in the top twenty....what da.....???? (much as I love it) Craig, I'm listening in the UK and you posted 100 Years before it was announced.....know something we don't ;-) Anyway, first time poster, long time reader (since the beginning in fact) and Craig, if there was a sainthood for selflessness and dedication, you'd get it!!!
I just wanted to say, any global peeps that don't have the cure litho being distributed in the US, I'm going to go buy some later and I'll be happy to buy you a CD and send you the litho if you want one.
DOH! I missed all the fun. I have to admit that I was surprised that the more "casual" fans hadn't managed to get Lovesong, Close to Me and FIIL in the top 20. Maybe cos they would have had trouble coming up with a top 10.
Ahh, that was a great countdown! I would have liked to see Lament and If Only Tonight We Could Sleep on the list, but oh well. I was in the chat room for the whole thing, and it was pretty cool that Eddie gave us a few shout outs from time to time! Nice talking to some of the other Cure fans from around the world!
Apart The Same Deep Water As You Want A Letter To Elise It Used To Be Me Your God Is Fear Pictures Of You End From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea The Kiss
...that was my Top Ten. At least 5 of them made their way into the top 20.
Well hello again, lol. I know you were pushing for Want most of the time, too bad it didn't make it. I really enjoy Apart as well! Too bad the Cure-countdowns don't happen more often! It was a nice post-Halloween treat.
yesterday i got so old i felt like i could die yesterday i got so old it made me want to cry..
faith IS a good birthday song, even if its sad.
thanks for the well wishes, so sweet! i just got home.. we spent the day in san francisco, it rained all day, grey, cold and foggy. my favorite weather. i ran around the beach (pacific ocean) while it was pouring, and i couldnt be happier. thanks again for your sweetness! <3
That was absolutely great! WHat a brilliant way to end a day. Only 2 of my top 10 made (plus 10:15) but who cares? I was looking at the whole set of songs... 100 seconds; Off To Sleep; Cheap Sex; A Sign From God; The Three Sisters; Hanging Around; Blend With An Edge; Aquarela Do Brasil?!?!?!? What the heck are these songs? Where the flipping hell do they come from?!?
Please How long does the emission????????
ReplyDeleteo_O nocturnal or...?
ReplyDelete*gets popcorns ready*
ReplyDelete@ Carole: the Cure Top 20 lasts 2 hours
ReplyDelete(not sure that was your question...)
2 hours for the 20 best Cure-Songs? What if people voted for Watching me fall, Same deep water..., Dizzy, Promise etc... 2 hours are not enough!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, almost forgot about this!
ReplyDelete*settles down with a cup of cocoa and huge bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk*
I'm so rock n roll...
Bloodflowers in at #20! Hell yes!
ReplyDeleteHaha Craig that was /so/ quick! It's like spot the intro!
ReplyDeleteAnyone else from here going in the chatroom on there?
ReplyDeleteBloody hell that was quick!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy the show ... if you want to say hello email us at radio@phoenixfm.com

eddie curry
Don't worry, Stig. I've just been playing Scrabble with my wife. Now THAT is rock and roll!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, a mention!
Yeah!!! My Elise is in the top 20!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteMy #2 makes it in at #15. This is Cold!
ReplyDeleteCANNOT ACCEPT ANYMORE CONNECTIONS! >:@ someone get off!
ReplyDeleteHe just said one of my top ten-Untitiled- didn't make it. But never mind, because TDM was in there too!
ReplyDeleteYay, Craig!
ReplyDeleteYeah, sofia. I can't get on either, but I will follow along with Craig. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Cure Friends.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing feeling is to hear CURE songs on the web ¡¡¡¡¡
I have chills just hearing RSx voice and the music that comes out my headphones ¡¡¡¡¡¡.
¡¡¡¡¡ The CURE is the BEST ¡¡¡¡
Untitiled!-great spelling!
ReplyDeletei got on! ALL CATS ARE GREY! WHOO!
ReplyDeleteeeeeee, this last batch has gone depressing!
ReplyDelete'100 years' is brilliant, though I prefer the live version from 'paris'
ReplyDeletewell it ain't the partridge family here, josh
ReplyDeleteIf you can't get on the mp3 stream, join the chatroom instead ... connections there are unlimited.
ReplyDeletedid y'all see the DJ lip syncing to 'the Kiss'? hhhhhhhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteIf you can't get into the chatroom first time, just keep trying; it says new people are joining every so often
ReplyDeleteThe Figurehead!!! My number 4.
ReplyDeletehey sophia. you are right, however I see in the cure much more than the mopiness that many fans seems to identify with. I tend to prefer their more agressive side. my #1 was 'From the edge of the deep green sea'.
ReplyDeleteFascination Street in the top twenty....what da.....???? (much as I love it)
ReplyDeleteCraig, I'm listening in the UK and you posted 100 Years before it was announced.....know something we don't ;-) Anyway, first time poster, long time reader (since the beginning in fact) and Craig, if there was a sainthood for selflessness and dedication, you'd get it!!!
My #1 Fascination St. scores at #19Only one of my Top 10 so far. I am sure A Forest will be there.
ReplyDeleteCome on End ....my #2.
Rob, my #1 hasn't even made the list!
ReplyDeleteHe's slipping, though! The Figurehead was the first that wasn't actually up before I'd clicked the page back!
ReplyDeleteArse, he's playing the remix!
ReplyDeletePJW - Sorry, had to feed the cats. : )
ReplyDeleteWould TSDWAY enters at Top 10 ?
ReplyDeleteI HOPE SO ¡¡¡
*hoping sighs*
:)
Ahh, that's more like it! POY was there. It's official. Craig can control time! No wonder he likes DR Who so much.
ReplyDeleteAfraid of sunlight: No psychic powers. Just posting as I hear them. And thank you very much for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteif I'm not mistaken Pictures of you is the Album version. anyone notice which versions the previous songs were (if there is more than 1, of course)?
ReplyDeleteWere they grey, Craig?
ReplyDeletePaul: You're doing a fantastic job. I'm loving this broadcast!
ReplyDeletePJW: Ha!
ReplyDeleteMad Bob: I hope it is. SDWAY is my #1.
Craig, wouldn't say it if it weren't true?
ReplyDeleteSo you can't control time then? Damn!! You can't shoot forward six months and retrieve "The Dark Dream" for us?!
I got on!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say, any global peeps that don't have the cure litho being distributed in the US, I'm going to go buy some later and I'll be happy to buy you a CD and send you the litho if you want one.
Mine`s too Craig.
ReplyDelete¡¡¡ALL TIME FAV !!!
:)
My #3 Charlotte Sometimes makes Top 10.
ReplyDeleteYay! Same Deep Water in at #8. Should have been higher. : )

ReplyDeleteThe greatest song ever written.
ReplyDeletethe kiss and sdway were in my top
ReplyDeleteWhen i met RSx in an radio interview on 2004, i beg him to play TSDWAY and he looked me, did his peculiar grin and told me, "PROBABLY"
ReplyDeleteObviously, this never happened.
:(
my webstream is jumping :(
ReplyDeleteOh that was a lovely segue! SDWAY into ASD!

Catch for #1!
"IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO GET CLOSER TO HEAVEN THAN EVER BE WHOLE AGAIN"
ReplyDeleteoh it's just like high school when my parents would tell me to shut the hell up and be normal! :)
Happy CURE-ish BDay DJ ¡¡¡
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it.
Grettings and best wishes from Mexico City.
:)
*feel
ReplyDeletehappy 16th, scribs! it's all downhill from here! xo
ReplyDeleteWierd to hear him reading all these titles online !!
ReplyDeletewow #2.. is Faith #1 ?
ReplyDelete.....and now everyone is wondering what #1 must be.
ReplyDeleteIf A Forest is #2, then I'm guessing Faith is #1.
ReplyDeleteA Forest .... got 4 in there now
ReplyDeletei Put my 2 cents on FAITH
ReplyDeleteOoh! I thought this would be number one! I think it'll be Faith too.
ReplyDeleteI bet in Inbetween Days.
ReplyDeleteI must be the only Cure fan that is not a "Faith" fan. Iam always amazed by all the folks here that practically j-off over it ;)
lovesong or friday im in love for the #1
ReplyDeleteI love Faith, but not my #1..
ReplyDeleteEveryone here knows that a CURE Top 20 is very short and is very difficult to choose only 20 songs among all the wonderful songs they have.
ReplyDeleteAlways a lot of amazing songs will be out of this kind of lists.
:)
THE CURE IS THE BEST BAND OF ALL TIME.
:)
Too bad no This Twilight Garden or Chain Of Flowers in the top 20. My #1 is #2, though and the rest of these songs are so great.
ReplyDeletei don't "get" Faith either; one of my least favourite Cure albums...
ReplyDeleteHUZZAH!
ReplyDeleteFaith wins!
ReplyDeleteFAITH IS THE WINNER ¡¡¡¡
ReplyDelete:)

ReplyDeleteFAITH!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pheonix FM.
Yep! Excellent.
ReplyDeletethere's nothing left but..............
ReplyDeleteStig,
ReplyDeleteNice to see there is at least one other non-Faith-ite. To me the Faith record is all about 'Primary', which is a Top 5 for me.
Faith N°1 it is too strong for me....
ReplyDeleteFaith was my #9. I ended up with 6 of my 10 in the top 20. I'm satisfied. : )
ReplyDeleteawwww...lovecats :).
ReplyDeleteThank you Phoenix FM and good night has all
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul and Phoenix FM! That was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Hello Kitty-- the loveliest lovecat of all :).
ReplyDeleteMy number one Apart is just number 53... :(
ReplyDeletethere you got the final result
http://www.phoenixfm.com/top20-cure.php
"I've waited hours for this"...
ReplyDeleteA Night Like This was my #1, and ONE POINT off the top 20... If only I'd have voted again!
ReplyDeletethat was an awesome show and list...
ReplyDeletewho voted for numb 58 times? here is my fist. put your face into it!
ReplyDeleteaugh 2late was SO CLOSE D;
are these honorable mentions ?
ReplyDeleteGreat session of CURE songs...
ReplyDeleteNice afternoon/night for CURE fans as us.
It used to be me no.100? Anyway, they're (PhoenixFM) are still playing Cure!! Good work!
ReplyDeleteInbetween Days following BDC! Woohoo!!
ReplyDeleteYeah... iam a bit disappointed It used to be me didn't even make it into the top 50. I had it in my top ten... well
ReplyDeletelol are they gonna play Cure songs all night?! I need sleep but can't tear myself away!
ReplyDeleteMoontear, yeah, that was my fav from the WMS recordings.....closely followed by Adonais.
ReplyDeleteDOH! I missed all the fun. I have to admit that I was surprised that the more "casual" fans hadn't managed to get Lovesong, Close to Me and FIIL in the top 20. Maybe cos they would have had trouble coming up with a top 10.
ReplyDeleteGreat selections, peeps.
And I am always happy to see Altr2elise up there.
It's my WMS sessions fave along with Want. But I'm really positiv surprised that All Cats are grey made it's way on there. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, but ACAG is truly a brilliant (and not obvious) classic Cure song.
ReplyDeleteMoontear, I was very surprised that Want wasn't in the top 20. It was number 2 in my list.
ReplyDeleteWant, another true classic.
ReplyDeleteI don't knoe about you guys but I had about 12 goes at my top 20!!
Ahh, that was a great countdown! I would have liked to see Lament and If Only Tonight We Could Sleep on the list, but oh well. I was in the chat room for the whole thing, and it was pretty cool that Eddie gave us a few shout outs from time to time! Nice talking to some of the other Cure fans from around the world!
ReplyDeleteApart
ReplyDeleteThe Same Deep Water As You
Want
A Letter To Elise
It Used To Be Me
Your God Is Fear
Pictures Of You
End
From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea
The Kiss
...that was my Top Ten. At least 5 of them made their way into the top 20.
@Figurehead: I've been to the chat as well... Club America speaking ;)
ReplyDeleteWell hello again, lol. I know you were pushing for Want most of the time, too bad it didn't make it. I really enjoy Apart as well! Too bad the Cure-countdowns don't happen more often! It was a nice post-Halloween treat.

ReplyDeleteFaith as number 1? Took me by suprise.
That was absolutely great! WHat a brilliant way to end a day. Only 2 of my top 10 made (plus 10:15) but who cares?
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the whole set of songs... 100 seconds; Off To Sleep; Cheap Sex; A Sign From God; The Three Sisters; Hanging Around; Blend With An Edge; Aquarela Do Brasil?!?!?!? What the heck are these songs? Where the flipping hell do they come from?!?
off to sleep and the three sisters were from the lost wishes cassette
