    • 8/10 - Great sound, great songs, great albums.

    • 7/10 - Very good, but not quite great.

    • 6/10 - Pretty good. More than a few songs you like. You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area. Or still alive.

    • 5/10 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to.
      4
    • 4/10 - Meh. There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff.
      0
    • 3/10 - Not very good. You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio.
      0
    • 2/10 - Not your cup of tea at all. Some people might like this, but you are not one of them.
      0
    • 1/10 - Horrible in every way.
      0
    • 0/10 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time. You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this.

6.   I enjoy enough of their stuff. Oddly enough, I enjoy the "Mixed Up" album which I think is generally disliked by Cure fans.

Probably a 7 for me.  I enjoy a lot of their music, but I never followed them that closely. Don't forget they inspired this song.

In my knee jerk to vote I got them mixed up with The Cult 😛  Both enjoyable bands, but these guys are the lesser of the two 😉

Even though The Cure was my pick, I'm by no means their biggest fan and they can be hit or miss with me.  I'm not completely familiar with a lot of their later work (after say, 2000 and beyond), but I treasure most of their earlier stuff.

I did recently see a recent concert of theirs, and Robert Smith is still rocking the lipstick and wild hair except now he is 60 years old and fat.  So that's kind of weird.  I happy that he is still happy and making music though.

 @captmorgandrinker Shit, Mixed Up was the first "album" of their I heard and it's still my favorite.  I guess you could call it a greatest hits remix album, and from my experience it's the one album that every Cure fan and non-fan seems to enjoy.  There is a 3CD deluxe edition that came out a year or so ago, worth checking out 🙂

The thing about the Cult is every song sounds the same. I'd rather listen to AC/DC or Motorhead for that kind of thing.

I'm going to go with an 9 overall, the albums from the post-punk era are my favorites (Seventeen Seconds, Faith & Pornography), but basically that band is long gone, I enjoyed most of what followed, especially Disintegration, Wish and Bloodflowers, after that I gradually lost interest. Saw them in 2004 and it was great, they played songs from all eras, not sure if they'd still do that but they would typically play for 3+ hours with multiple thematic encores which was pretty epic.

I'll list some songs from the post-punk era:

Blood flowers is one of their best albums.

I enjoy Faith from their goth era, but I guess I enjoy their alt-rock stuff a bit more.  Disintegration, Wish, and Blood Flowers are fantastic albums.

i also saw them live around them and they did a killer 20+ song live set from all eras.  Even stuff I was crazy about Like Cockatoos was totally different and awesome.

I really like Motley Crue and AC/DC. I dislike Bon Jovi. I'm indifferent to Bonnie Tyler but she has a nice voice like a female Rod Stewart.
