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?
