| Led by depressive
pop prince Robert Smith, the Cure have taken their legions of fans on a
journey from post-punk to gothic to new wave to art rock, stopping only
for refills of hairspray along the way. An amazing band both live and in
the studio, the Cure may have shifted its lineup numerous times, but
Smith has remained a consistently fascinating rock icon throughout the
changes. The group's most popular work (DISINTEGRATION, THE HEAD ON THE
DOOR) was recorded in the 1980s, but it has held up incredibly well,
leading to continued tours and albums despite exaggerated rumors of
their demise |
