The Cure
The Cure, ‘A Forest’, 1980. The Cure were a great singles band. Despite this I was never a big fan – too much Gothic dirge and Poor Me miserabilism and the album ‘Pornography’ is unlistenable.

They were from Croydon, not the hippest place on the planet, which makes the creativity here seem even more unworldly…
