From 'Boys Don't Cry' to 'Mint Car,' see which of the West Sussex goth heroes' songs come out on top in Paste's greatest Cure songs ranking.
. Formed in 1978 by Robert Smith, Michael Dempsey and Lol Tolhurst, the Cure have endured as one of the most crucial alt-rock bands of all time—as they’ve become definitive torchbearers of post-punk, new wave, gothic and, at times, synth- and jangle-pop. Across 45 years, they’ve put out 13 records and have remained steadfast in touring, with various lineup changes over the years—save for Smith and Simon Gallup, the latter of whom has been with the band since 1979.
“It’s not a case of telling the truth / Some lines just fit the situation” is just the thing I tell people when I lie to stay engaged in a conversation. No one gets me like you, Robert. —“Cold” lures you in with those menacing cello groans just to punch you in the gut with its tragic portrait of drug use. “A shallow grave, a monument to the ruined age” candidly considers the finite toll that substance abuse takes on people and often leads them to premature deaths.
