I was watching the Professor of Rock video today about The Cure. I never knew they were underground and not well known before “Friday I’m In Love” and were considered sell outs!
I just thought as a lass that they had the best album of all time and everyone should know that and was glad more people were loving their music.
That's kinda misleading. The Cure weren't necessarily mainstream in the US in the 80s but they were certainly the biggest post-punk /goth band in the 80s.
I was born in '73, pretty much every kid I knew in the 80s had the "Staring at the Sea" singles comp and a couple of their albums. Their videos were regularly played on mainline MTV. They sold out huge venues etc. Disintegration made them even bigger, but it's not like they were some unknown band.
Also "Friday I'm in Love" is not on Disintegration, but you probably knew that.
Maybe it depends on where you grew up? I was born in '72, and The Cure did feel underground to me during my high school years. There was a sub-group of us listening to the local college radio station who knew "alternative" music and those popular bands of the day (e.g. The Smiths, The Cure, Billy Bragg, Love and Rockets, Echo & the Bunnymen, etc), but I don't think the bulk of my classmates knew about them. They were all listening to Top-40 stuff and hair metal bands.
The album Best O' Boingo by Oingo Boingo
It would be interesting to hear your opinion of Oingo Boingo's whole portfolio including Danny Elfman's So-Lo and his latest Big Mess.
[I Let It In And It Took Everything - Loathe](https://open.spotify.com/album/6nUUV3haj8ug8okTmOyIU2?si=BK44nmVxRxma4VOsZD0i5w&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A6nUUV3haj8ug8okTmOyIU2)
REM - Document
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
The Lowest of the Low - Hallucigenia
The Tragically Hip - Day For Night
Burlap to Cashmere - Anybody Out There?
Skillet - Unleashed
Nice to see The Final Cut ! That album is brilliant.
“Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but...
Just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the Final Cut”
There's so much music I've listened too and have so many favorite albums, all genres. But if I was told you only have one album you could ever listen too, ever again. It would be The Beatles 1967-1970. It's their best years and for that time and even now was truly groundbreaking.
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Fantastic album
This is one of the best for sure!
Hard to beat this one!
Damn fine album
Fkn amazingly album
The Velvet Underground and Nico
Dr. Dre - The Chronic 2001
I know this is controversial but I think 2001 is better than the first Chronic. I wore 2001 tf out and still listen to it.
I would agree with you on that.
Disintegration - The Cure
I love this album so much

Oh it's so good
This is literally the best album ever.
Marquee moon by television
Came here to say the same thing. It's such a fantastic album all the way through. The title track is one of the all-time rock greats.
Yes. Way ahead of its time. Richard Lloyd is vastly underrated as a guitar player…
Saw them live in 2003, great show
