What's the best track on "Head On The Door"?

A very strong album indeed. Going for "A Night Like This" myself, but there are other very great songs here, such as the two singles, "Kyoto Song" and "The Blood".

In between days is possibly the best song made by anyone ever.

So, um, that one...

There's been a couple of other Cure polls, I believe.

Best Cure single

Best Cure album

Best Cure b-side

Not best tracks on album polls though.

― Geir Hongro, Friday, 15 February 2008 10:20 (2 years ago) Permalink

Six Different Ways is the one for me.

― nate woolls, Friday, 15 February 2008 10:22 (2 years ago) Permalink

The Blood or Night Like This for me. Not my favorite album though

― baaderonixx, Friday, 15 February 2008 10:42 (2 years ago) Permalink

Yeah, up til about 92 this is maybe my least favourite Cure album. Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me will be a tough poll.

I've been meaning to start a 'The Top' thread for a while. Re-listening to the remaster the other night, I realized how much stuff was crammed into this album and that I'd still not noticed. Like the electro-fuzz bass on "Bananafishbones" for instance.

"Close to Me"

― Bee OK, Friday, 15 February 2008 10:53 (2 years ago) Permalink

"Screw" - most underrated song in Cure history

― zaxxon25, Friday, 15 February 2008 12:14 (2 years ago) Permalink

"Six different ways", though I prefer the Peel Session version.

In Between Days

"Push"

burn the cloying baby music on "Close to Me" and "Six Different Ways"

― abanana, Friday, 15 February 2008 13:37 (2 years ago) Permalink

Holy Crap this is a tough one. It might've have been "Push" or "In Between Days" or even "The Baby Screams," but I have to go with "A Night Like This," because it's so fucking gorgeous.

such as the two singles, "Kyoto Song" and "The Blood".

the singles were "Close to Me" and "In Between Days".

I think you missed the comma there

― baaderonixx, Friday, 15 February 2008 13:44 (2 years ago) Permalink

I think Geir missed the Oxford comma.

Geir's a comma chameleon.

I'll get my coat.

― Alex in NYC, Friday, 15 February 2008 13:46 (2 years ago) Permalink

"A Night Like This," but "Sinking" nips at its heels.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 15 February 2008 13:48 (2 years ago) Permalink

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 15 February 2008 13:52 (2 years ago) Permalink

Sorry. I'll shoot myself now.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 15 February 2008 13:52 (2 years ago) Permalink

The correct answer, btw, is "In Between Days".

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 15 February 2008 13:52 (2 years ago) Permalink

I know "Close To Me" and "In-Between Days" were the singles. And both were great. :)

― Geir Hongro, Friday, 15 February 2008 13:53 (2 years ago) Permalink

There's no hyphen in In Between Days. Just keeping up the pedantry.

― nate woolls, Friday, 15 February 2008 13:54 (2 years ago) Permalink

Pedanticness?

― nate woolls, Friday, 15 February 2008 13:56 (2 years ago) Permalink

I remember that HI DERE really LOVES Push

I vote "a night like this"

― akm, Friday, 15 February 2008 14:21 (2 years ago) Permalink

It gets deep

― Mark G, Friday, 15 February 2008 14:33 (2 years ago) Permalink

Yeah I can't possibly choose between Push & Sinking, so A Night Like This wins.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― ILX System, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 00:01 (2 years ago) Permalink

the album version of "Close To Me" is my favorite CURE song.

Close to Me
Six Different Ways
The Blood
In Between Days
A Night Like This
Kyoto Song
Screw
Sinking
Push
The Baby Screams

― nicky lo-fi, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 01:28 (2 years ago) Permalink

Sinking - the best over time.

― flowersdie, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 17:15 (2 years ago) Permalink

haha Dan hates "Push" doesn't he? Passionately!

"A Night Like This" which is also my favorite of the Standing on a Beach collection.

― wanko ergo sum, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 18:21 (2 years ago) Permalink

"Six Different Ways", though I do love that album version of "Close to Me" and I used to work in an office with a Coke machine that made a sound like the opening of "In Between Days" whenever it distributed a can of pop.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 21:11 (2 years ago) Permalink

akm is in so much trouble now

This is one of the few Cure albums where I'd pick a single as the best song on it. ("Close To Me")

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 21:13 (2 years ago) Permalink

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― ILX System, Thursday, 28 February 2008 00:01 (2 years ago) Permalink

gah, wish I'd seen this so "Close to Me" could've at least tied for second. although it deserves to win in a landslide. quite simply one of the finest songs ever written.

― bernard snowy, Thursday, 28 February 2008 00:03 (2 years ago) Permalink

Those are all excellent songs. Disappointed to see "Kyoto Song" getting only one vote though - that's my second favourite on the album.
