Another Curefan for The Dark Christmas album.

the head on the door is such a brilliant album.
but i have some sort of weakness for a night like this
the intro to that song... i dont know it just sticks with me
the very first time i saw your face i thought of a song and quickly changed the tune. the very first time i touched your skin i thought of a story and rushed to reach the end too soon.

A NIGHT LIKE THIS  :rocker   I never tire of this....

great album!!
Push is also a favourite.... and Kyoto song actually grows and grows on me every time I listen to the album  :smth023

This album was my initial contact with The Cure; and I remember A night like this specially   :smth020

Why don't you re-open this polls? There are a lot of new people here and while we are waiting for the new album could be a good idea review all albums and share new votes... Thanks!  ;)

Well the voting is closed, but I would have voted for Push.
I was surprised that the least favorite turned out to be Close to Me, I thought Screw would have turned out to be the one to get less votes....I have heard a lot of people say they dislike that song. And so do I... :?

Interesting result.
I would have chosen Sinking tbh. Screw is alright, but Six Different ways?? :shock: :shock: :smth076

no no no no no no.
All kinds of wrong, that song.
Cheers

Sinking was my second....But Steve...I actually kind of like Six Different Ways!
Not fond at all of Kyoto Song.

Steve

I'm alright with Kyoto Song (I know Marika will probably shoot me down for that ;))
But 6DW is not a shining star for the Cure.
I remember Marika posting some NIN footage on youtube not long ago & they used 6DW to clear the arena quickly  :roll:
Oh well, each to their own.
I also was tempted to vote A Night Like This, but the saxaphone kills it for me. I only like the live versions.

A Night Like This is just too "poppy" for me. Not fond of it at all.

No probs Scatcat  :D ..the only thing is it's finished now. I Hope you managed to catch a couple of songs... It's nice to hear all of them played not only the "radio friendly" 'close to me' and 'in between days' xx  :smth020
'I'm in a carefully careless mess'

Carnage Visor

I'm a minority here.

Since I don't like their radio-friendly "fluffy love songs", I go for The Baby Screams, A Night Like This, or the demo disc for the more tough/dark stuff...I'm not into the happy songs by them. I'd much rather here Robert sing about sadness and hatred than about a "girl of his dreams" and stuff like that...too sickeningly sweet!

A Night Like This is a great song, and really captures what I feel the band is about to me. I like the key tonality, the lagging, drawn-out guitars...

Definately not my favorite album. I found the next year's effort to be much better, with songs like "The Kiss" and "Why Can't I Be You", or the album before this, THE TOP, which created a great visual landscape and musical stylings that were both invigorating and mesmorizing to listen to.
