I’ll post more, including the first song, later.

Bootleg songs will not be held up for rating, but may be discussed where appropriate. Only songs that were written and/or performed bySuzanne Vega.įor clarity's sake, I plan I plan to go through the thread in this order.Īny live albums will be included in one day only discussions.īonus tracks, non-album singles, B-sides, officially released outtakes and other rarities will be discussed generally after the album they are associated with - see any of my other song-by-song threads for a template. I do not plan on holding up unreleased/bootleg songs for rating (if there are any) that does not mean that they cannot be discussed or referenced in their appropriate era by those who know about them it only means that I won't make a separate entry for them.ĭitto for side projects, where Suzanne may have contributed guitar or backing vocals but not lead vocals: they will not be held up separately. T he main thing is to discuss ,celebrate and tear apart the music o the Cure, song-by-song, and to have fun with the music of this incredible songwriter with other fans.

Having said that one does not have to rate songs to participate in the thread. And I like to make playlists from the more highly-rated songs! I like doing this simply because, a) for some reason it helps me to focus my mind critically when I'm listening and b) although individual users' ratings mean nothing, collectively, when averaged, they are an interesting statistic. I will trace their career from her days from a scrappy post-punk band through their early goth period, their mid-eighties pop period and up to their ascendancy to Alternative Rock superstars.Īs always, I will also be rating songs on a 1-5 scale, 5 being the best.

I will be going through all of The Cure's songs from their early demos in 1979 as Easy Cure to the last B-sides from Disintigration in 1989, one by one, day by day, including any songs sung and/or co-written by Robert Smith in thsoe years. My intention with this thread, starting today is to discuss the music of The Cure, and related side projects of Robert Smith.
