They do put on a very entertaining live show, too!
In the same vein, I like the Mission and All About Eve. Real gloomy
sounding rock (except when they're doing Aerosmith covers... :-)

The gloomiest group I can think of right now would have to be:
.........Christian Death..........
Much more gloomy then, say, the smiths...

The local Cure expert (Nancy E, well known to some of you) gives the
following list:
10:15 Saturday Night*
Accuracy*
Grinding Halt*
Another Day*
Object*
Subway Song*
Foxy Lady
Meathook
So What?
Fire in Cairo*
It's Not You
Three Imaginary Boys*
The * songs also appear on _Boys Don't Cry_
>Also if someone could tell me which pictures match with what songs...
The label associates each song number with a picture (at least on my
copy) so you should be able to figure it out from the (ordered) list
of titles above.

> house is (i know it might mean nothing at all but then again...
Can't answer this one. Nancy, are you reading this?

I would like to know if anyone out there knows the songs that are on
Three Imaginary Boys by The Cure. The album has no words....
Many of the songs are the same as on other albums but there are a few
new ones.
Also if someone could tell me which pictures match with what songs...
thanx

I'd say more than some - most of 'Hatful of Hollow', "Never Had No
One Never", "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore", among many others. I
think near the end of their existence they began to change over to
what I call the New Order style - put gloomy lyrics to upbeat,
"happy" music.
Along the gloom lines, I just saw Joy Division's 'Unknown Pleasures'
CD on Qwest for the first time in the U.S. In fact, I think it was
the first time I had seen UP on a domestic U.S. label, and although
I have 'Closer' as a Factory U.S. release, the copy of 'Closer' I
saw in the store was a different one - maybe on Qwest also. Does
this mean 'Still' may be next to follow???

particularly the "Soul Mining" album. It's not Doom and Gloom in the
"we're all gonna get nuked, and everything sucks" variety so much as the
"life is really messing with my head" variety. Like The Smiths, the music
is often quite upbeat, but the lyrics are usually cynical and depressed.
The song titles aren't as good, though. Very little can top The Smiths'
"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" as a title. :-)
One of the best terms I've heard to describe this sort of music is "Doom Fop."

On a Cure note, has anyone (here in the U.S.) seen an import Cure
CD with the entire _Faith_ and _Seventeen Seconds_ albums on it. I saw it
in a local record store here but didn't have any cash or credit on me at
that time. Of course (Murphy's law in all formats 8^) I have never seen it
since.

The package that you are referring to (i think) is "Happily Ever After..."
which was originally (when rel. on vinyl) only relesesd in the U.S. Whether
it was ever released anywhere else I don't know.
Somebody else was asking about the label and i'm 99% sure it's on A&M.
AND, somebody else said they are budget price now, which I believe, since
I got "Pornography" and "Happily Ever After" on cd at Lechamere's for $4.99
apiece on sale (but they listed for only 6.99, anyway). Pleased me greatly
indeed, esp. Happily..
Jg.
P.S. Why hasn't anybody mentioned these albums in the "glooom and doom"
discussions??
