Diamond Dogs is underrated. The Sweet Thing suite is up there with my favorites.

That’s a tough one.

Life on Mars has been on the top of my list for a long time. Of course Space Oddity is as well.

The media junkies and their flunky monkeys will invite you to the plastic pantomime.

Throw their invites away.

It’s funny you mention Tin Machine because Reeves Gabrels was the guitarist for that group and he has also been with The Cure since 2012.

Everything leads back to The Cure in some way

I've watched some clips of that. He does a great version of Hallo Spaceboy with the Foo Fighters.

During high COVID, Mike Garson, who played piano in the Spiders from Mars, did a Bowie tribute concert. Nine Inch Nails did a cool version of Fashion. Trent Reznor's wife sings on it. LINK

(I'd love to see Nine Inch Nails cover the entire Scary Monsters album)

Ok, it all started in 1987, The Cure was on their KISS ME KISS ME KISS ME tour, (first real concert of my choosing) and ever since then.

That’s not what you meant is it

Did someone kidnap you, and take you to a concert against your wishes?
Sounds like torture. What bands?
