Hey everyone, it's TheFigurehead from chat, lol. The show was awesome. I hope that with the success it will bring more possibilities for other Cure countdown shows. Nice talking to those of you who were there. I'm going to bed now, still listening to the Cure!  :smth020

As Robert would say: "...and now I lay me down to dream"  ;)

i'm not surprised. perhaps robert should see this too (the list should be sent to him) and perhaps he'd finally take 'inbetween days' and boys don't cry' (which didn't even made the top 20!)  off from constant repeat and stop insisting that they just "have to" play them... because they don't.

i'm slightly surprised that 'all cats are grey' made it to the top 20, though.
Ay, in the very temple of Delight
Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine

figurehead

Well i'm surprised that 'BDC' & 'Inbetween Days' weren't on the Top 20...
& really didn't expect 'All Cats Are Grey'(even if it is a great tune).
Anyway,just for the records my votes...
1.Killing An Arab
2.A FOREST
3.FAiTH
4.THE FIGUREHEAD
5.The Lovecats
6.Inbetween Days
7.Just Like Heaven
8.Disintegration
9.''This Twilight Garden''
10.Bloodflowers
'Is It Always Like This?'

disintegration

I have 8 of 10 of my vote:

1-Faith
2-The drowning man
3-A forest
4-The figurehead
5-100 years
6-The funeral party
7-The same deep water as you
8-Cold
9-Pornography
10-Disintegration

We've always shared the same opinion with 'All Cats Are Grey' haven't we. I'm very surprised to see it in the top 20 too. I thought Shake Dog Shake would have been in the top 20 for sure, oh well. And I didn't think 'From The Edge of The Deep Green Sea' would have made top 5, although it is an awesome track. The rest of the top 20 isn't a surprise, I'm glad the real fans voted on this one and it features a bunch of The Cure's darker tracks.

Yeah, I mean from a real Cure fan's perspective, those ones aren't really the real favorites from fans, like some of the songs like All Cats are Grey, The Drowning Man, etc. But I think that with the Top 20 show, a lot of the real fans voted, and not just the casual listeners. In a concert setting, I think that a lot of the people attending, sadly, are rich , casual fans who say "Oh, I remember the Cure, what did they sing? Oh, Just like Heaven! Lets go to the concert for something to do!" so then they have to play some of the more "crowd pleasing" songs. Too bad there aren't more people that would get into the darker stuff. Oh well, more music for us!

You're absolutely right.  If you had everyone at a Cure gig filled out their top 20 I would guess that more hits would make the list.  Probably quite a few wouldn't even know some of the songs that made it on last night!  It's unfortunate for us die hards that the standards won't go away when it come to the live shows.  You'd think with a show containing 30+ songs that Robert would find a better balance, though.

I listened and recorded the whole thing. I wish they would play cure songs every night.
Can I use some of your lipstick?

I loved the show!
I had troubles with registering on chat, but I'm glad everything went fine...

Mmm, very nice list, more pleasing for the die hard fans as has been mentioned. Robert should definitely hear about it if he hasn't already, he'll probably wee himself out of joy when he hears Faith is nr. 1.

@Strange Attraction: If you could upload the recording that would be great! Unless you're not allowed to do that, not sure...

Oh, and This Twilight Garden aaalmost made it to the Top 20 (nr. 22).
