THE CURE vs THE SMITHS
I LIKE THEM BOTH.
IN FACT, EACH OF THESE TWO BANDS HAVE CONTRIBUTED SOME GREAT MUSIC TO MY WORLD AND TO THE WORLD OF MUSIC IN GENERAL. LOVE THEM, HATE THEM OR INDIFFERENT, THEY ARE TWO BANDS THAT HAD MASS FOLLOWINGS
HERE ARE A FEW TRACKS THAT I WAS ABLE TO FIT ONTO THE MIX TO BE HEARD AS SOME OF MY TOP PICKS. THERE IS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH TIME IN 1 HOUR TO PLAY EVERYTHING I LIKE BY THEM BUT I SQUEEZED IN A FAIR PORTION FROM EACH OF THEM TO GIVE'EM EACH A FAIR SHOT.
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
I DON'T LISTEN TO EITHER OF THEM MUCH ANYMORE BUT EVERY SO OFTEN I WILL HEAR THEM AND BE REMINDED OF SOME EARLIER GOOD TIMES AND HOW MUCH I DID LIKE THEM BOTH AND I'M NOT EMBARRASED TO ADMIT IT EITHER.
NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE WRITE SONGS LIKE THEY DID AND FOR SOME REASON THEY HAVE BOTH STUCK IN MY HEAD
EACH OF THEM ARE VERY DIFFERENT.
NOT THE GREATEST , NOT THE WORST.
WHO IS THE WINNER?
PICK ONE

a good mix although not very representative of earlier Cure material (we have all heard the wierd pop of the last three enough by now surely) and I agree......how can you hold back on There is a light?.....still I have to go with The Cure if only for Seventeen Seconds and Faith......beautiful albums!

I take The Smiths over The Cure ANYDAY of the week!! I can say that without even listening to this mix (although I will, because I still really like both bands).

Brilliant! - Agreed, I shouldn't have to make a choice. The inner turmoil has transmogrified my liver into a cat. No 'There's A Light That Never Goes Out'! I'm disgusted :)

Still love both--saw the Cure a few year's back (front row, nonetheless) and they still killed it, though the highlights were definitely all pre-1990 (especially the stuff from Pornography and The Top)

Ok so was there ever a vs? Saw both bands live, the Cure in '79 and the Smiths in '82, is say out the two The Cure were the best live but The Smith's have better studio stuff, there that's my part said for what its worth. But the First Cure single Killing An Arab with 10-15 On A Saturday Night still does it for me.... ")
