I never really found Charlotte Sometimes to be such an exceptional track. (The studio track, the live ones are a totally different story)
For me it was a tough choice between Cut Here and Wrong Number, I only chose Wrong Number because I dont think anyone else will actually vote for it. And now i wanna vote for JSET :?

(ps. i know you'll all vote for 'charlotte sometimes', like every faithful cure fan should do - but i don't care! :-D)
What do you mean...?  Should I go "baah baah" like a sheep while I vote? I voted it because I love it!   :smth045 :smth019 ( ;))

 I decided to vote for Charlotte... Not because I'm a "faithful fan" but because I just do love the song!  ;)

Purple Haze (although it isn't really a single). I used to have the CDS and 12" of this one and love it!

For me Charlotte is OK but a bit dull and I don't really enjoy it live..... :?

Voted Charlotte since I could only choose one. That one and Killing an Arab are both on my top 5-10 Cure songs list. To be honest perhaps Boys don´t cry and Lovecats could also be on that top 10 list, but lower than the two first.

I voted "Charlotte Sometimes", but also "Cut Here" is good! :smth020

Odd list to choose from... as a standalone single, "Boy's Don't Cry" wins hands down.  My favorite on this list is probably "Jumping Someone Else's Train" but BDC has a classic melody, great chord progression and just breaks the pop barrier to pieces.  Along with "Just Like Heaven" (which is THE most recognizable and important of Cure singles) "Boys Don't Cry" is the purest piece of pop songwriting that Smith has ever released.

I called you after midnight
Then run until my heart burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door


A Walk! Stunning..For me, its the best single ever..plus with some sentimental value   there for me. 8)
"Thick As Shit"

I guess we all knew the final winner before we actually vote. Charlotte is the favorite song for so many fans and also if for me there's something even better in the complete works, i will be at least the best alone standing single.
well...cut here for second. :)

Charlotte wins for me. I love the signing. It would make a great and haunting A capella song. Sends chills down my back every single time.

Ouh that is a hard one...
Which to choose? Between 'KAA' - 'BDC' - Charlotte or even The Lovecats ..?Well i finally prefer not to answer,love them all anyway!
