The CaterPOLLar -- ILM Artist Poll #23 -- The Cure -- voting thread

It'll take me a while to work out which albums my songs come from. I actually own nothing by The Cure, but one of my best friends at university (91-94) was a Cure obsessive so I taped loads of stuff off him.

don't neglect yr b-sides from any era
I voted for two of those

^_^

fyi I'm listening to a playlist of all the songs I was considering that I could find on Spotify and it's really the fucking best

TIB/BDC: 5
SS: 3
F: 5
P: 4
TT: 4
THOTD: 2
KMKMKM: 4
D: 4
W: 2

Singles/B-sides not on any 'proper' albums: 7

poor Blue Sunshine is going to get shafted in this

I'd be curious to know what the latest track to hit *any* poll is. Most of these artists are still trying hard, yet Timbaland's the only one I can think of who's sneaked one in from this century.

Hearts can never be POLLed -- ILM Artist Poll # 18 -- Depeche Mode RESULTS THREAD

good old Dave

"Punish Me With Kisses" is an excellent song

I would take Blue Sunshine over pretty much every post-Disintegration Cure album

I think the latest track on my ballot was "Burn"...so, 1994?

OH FUCK I FORGOT "BURN" TOO

FUCKING BAND, WITH SO MANY GREAT SONGS, I HATE YOU

There must be plenty. Off the top of my head, I'm reasonably certain that 'Out of Time' (2003) placed in my Blur poll. Did 'Vertigo' place in the U2 one you did?

3 on the U2 poll (lol, none of them were "Vertigo" and it's debatable as to whether 2000 is "this century")

"It's a musical journey" - U2 POLL RESULTS
"It's a musical journey" - U2 POLL RESULTS

I think we should make an exception for Dan and let him vote for 100 tracks.

probably be harder for him to come up with 40 cure tracks not worth our time

ha that's an interesting challenge, lemme think about that

lol I got to 37 before I ran out of songs I disliked or didn't care about

oh hey, can I pad with Glove songs? that might get me to 40

Thanks for doing the gruntwork Dan. I think Vertigo might even have scored negative points - people really don't like voting for recent stuff in these things.

The Cure has no songs with the refrain "uno doz tres CATORCE!"

lol

ha my list of 40 songs Cure songs no one needs to bother with will alternately enrage and make ppl go "well DUH"

I'll post it after voting closes

Mine:

TIB/BDC: 4
17S: 4
Faith: 3
Porno: 3
JW: 3
Top: 2
THOTD: 3
KMKMKM: 6
Disintegration: 3
Wish: 2
B-Sides: 6
Stand-alone single: 1

I've got 5 from Wild Mood Swings, bring it on

huh

wow!

there's at least one WMS on my "don't bother" list that's actually a lot of fun live so I can't even really say I got to 40 songs I thought had no redeeming value

there's also an objectively terrible WMS song that I love in spite of myself that I refused to put on the list

I honestly don't remember much of the stuff off it. That tour was the first time I was old enough to see them live and I remember being terrified they weren't going to play any of their old stuff (dumb, I know but it was my first big concert!). Thankfully they didn't disappoint set list wise.

Although I remember being pissed because all the merch was WMS related and while I wanted to a shirt didn't want one affiliated with that album in particular.

IMO the songs to check out on WMS are:

Want
The 13th
Jupiter Crash
Numb
Trap
Treasure
Bare

(did not list my sentimental fave because no one else actually likes it and I know it's bad but it's SO MUCH FUN)

I was surprised by how solid "Gone" was when I finally bought the '97 comp. Uninspiring mix though.

okay so someone else likes it; I LOVE GONE!

Is it "Gone!"? Cause I think that's a fun one. But yours is probably "Mint Car", cause that's objectively BAD!!

every hear the Ultraliving mix?

Oh x-post, so there's three of us!

man if I'd realized I wouldn't have shamed myself out of considering "Gone!" for my ballot

Well it wouldn't make my Top 40, but I like it.

probably not mine either; I would have probably made room for "At Night" or "M" first

I would've voted for "M" 10 times if I could have.

As excited about seeing DJP's ballot as I am about the rollout.

they played "M" when I saw'em in '92.

ballot sent.

Gone! is indeed my top WMS cut. I'll be sad if we've gamed it out of its rightful top ten berth.

my shortlist playlist is getting into the songs I left off and I'm now all ;_; I wish I had an 80 vote ballot

to wish impossible ballots

Can I assume that any votes for Untitled are for the last song on Disintegration and not for The Weedy Burton?

oh god yes

Just checking.

can we make all of the "Pictures of You" votes into votes for the extended dub mix?

That's one conversation I don't want to have again.

aw you're no fun
