He was great on the 'Join Hands' tour playing with the support and the headline. Still a teenager IIRC

Sort of band that as they 'progressed' I lost interest. Much prefer their original trio lineup with that sparse sound. This would have made my top thirty.

Really like the first two albums... and the odd single beyond that, but Mr Smith's razor sharp dry wit here is a joy to behold...

Yeah, I'm with PU on the 'sparse sound' of their early work. I bought Killing An Arab on a school trip to the lake district  The first couple of Peel sessions are great too -

Do we have a The Cure thread already? ...if not i think we should. I don't have many albums... just the first three, but love some their songs beyond that era.
Just found this great footage of them playing live on Dutch TV in 1980, when they were a trio again, briefly.

Thanks Nigey... i thought there must surely be a Cure thread on here already - i have been dipping into Faith just recently, such a great record.
I see this made your Top 10... i bet this has been used in a film soundtrack somewhere...
