NME's 100 Best Songs of the 1990s
'Friday I'm in Love' comes in at #58 on NME's 100 Best Songs of the 1990s - "After the blissful misery of 1989’s ‘Disintegration’, ‘Wish’ was a
return to the more poppy Bob Smith of mid-80s glory – and ‘Friday I’m In
Love’ was its dangerously upbeat signature track. Not that its genesis
was all that happy. The paranoid Smith was sure he’d nabbed the chord
progression and spent hours ringing people up and playing it to them to
see if they knew." (Thanks Perfect.Murder)

ReplyDeleteThe NME really does come up with some dross... some poor work experience guy has probably been told to find the biggest hit by these bands and stick it in a list.
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows FTEOTDGS is the finest Cure song of that era!
Or doing the unstuck.

ReplyDeleteJupiter Crash, Bare, Open, Want...

ReplyDeleteThis song helped make me a Cure fan. One of the band's absolute greats. It hasn't written a better pop song since! The studio version trumps any messy live version because the interplay of all 3 guitars is very delicate and must be played perfectly -- but that's the case with all Cure pop songs.
