Hi everybody! I'm still getting over the dream that was seeing The Cure on 31st May :) truly a dream come true!! :-D
and was great meeting sum ppl from curefans.com!
Anyway, I have a client who was interested by my love for The Cure so I created a playlist for her...
.. I went a bit nuts though with 33 songs! (getting the best sounding versions, working out which songs to include and putting them into a good lsitening order etc.)
Thought I'd send it the boards way too. Comments/suggestions for future reference appreciated :-D
So, without further adieu...

Thats a really good list Dean. I'd be hard pushed to find only 33 . Once I stared to find songs I'd just keep going. Bur then again I am nuts :D
