The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys Don't Cry Poll

more iconic would be the word.

amidst youtube scans today i bumped into a 1980 cure video and was totally floored at normie conventional looking robert smith. and i had a duped cassette of three imaginary boys in like late 82, so it's not like i shouldn't have had some level awareness of his arc.

ha this one

they looked so great during 17 secs era

was stoked to find a relatively affordable copy of this recently as I absolutely love that pic on the cover

(it also has the weird extended mix of Primary which is just like Primary but the instrumental bits go on forever - it’s actually kind of cool in that it feels a bit like time is dilating while you listen to it)

also my poll vote would have gone to “another day”, which is might be the exact point the cure find Their Sound? ok its probably not as tidy as that but it definitely feels like it points towards what’s to come

iirc I was one of the votes for it, it's so good

Yeah, really one of their most overlooked ones. Completely encapsulates teenage boredom.

yeah, that song could have easily been on Seventeen Seconds.

that Robert Plant cover is amaZING, thanks for posting MatthewK!

and Jimmy Page too, the person playing guitar i thought might have been Porl.
