LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre.After the release of Pornography (1982), the band's future was uncertain and Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation his band had acquired. With the 1982 single "Let's Go to Bed" Smith began to place a pop sensibility into the band's music (as well as a unique stage look). The Cure's popularity increased as the decade wore on, especially in the United States where the songs "Just Like Heaven", "Lovesong" and "Friday I'm in Love" entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart. By the start of the 1990s, The Cure were one of the most popular alternative rock bands in the world. The band is estimated to have sold 27 million albums as of 2004.[6] The Cure have released thirteen studio albums, 10 EPs and over thirty singles during the course of their career. Since 2010, they have been working on a fourteenth studio album.DiscographyThree Imaginary Boys (1979)Seventeen Seconds (1980)Faith (1981)Pornography (1982)The Head on the Door (1985)Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987)Disintegration (1989)Wish (1992)Wild Mood Swings (1996)Bloodflowers (2000)The Cure (2004)4:13 Dream (2008)MembersCurrent line-upRobert Smith – lead vocals, guitars, keyboards (1976–present)Simon Gallup – bass guitar, keyboards (1979–1982, 1985–present)Roger O'Donnell – keyboards (1987–1990, 1995–2005, 2011–present)Jason Cooper – drums, percussion (1995–present)Reeves Gabrels – guitars (2012–present) Edited November 11, 2012 by PinkCouture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
