    Wow, a pretty eclectic list! Nice to see some love for Harold and Joe, but...I didn't see Burn anywhere? The list is a lie!

    I didn't see anything from the last two albums. So no Underneath the Stars? Fuck this list.

    Songs from the last two albums in Cure's Top 50? Are you kidding? The Cure have so much beautiful songs, but they are definitely not on the last two albums! UTS is good, but not Top 50. I like the list.

      I'm not kidding. Yes, The Cure have many beautiful songs, and I believe several of those can be found in their last two albums.

    no '2 late' or 'a chain of flowers' equals totally subjective list that i don't agree with.

    A Forest would be at the top of my list followed by Just Like Heaven and Pictures Of You. Kinda ridiculous to put Harold and Joe ahead of Just Like Heaven.

    Except for "The Big Hand" and "Lament", no Cure b-side, no matter how good, deserves to be in the top 50. Similarly, nothing from "Wild Mood Swings" or "Three Imaginary Boys' (except "Boys Don't Cry" or the title track) does, either.

    That said, it's very cool a publication is devoting itself to such thorough fandom. Interesting list, even if I disagree.

      Ridiculous. The Cure is one of the best b-side bands I've ever known. "This Twilight Garden" outright owns.

    Nothing post-"Wish" is in the Top 50, basically.
