Nostalgic trip with The Cure

Watched an episode of "Rock Legends" about The Cure. It was a rush of nostalgia because I didn't realize how many of their songs I knew, and I remember where I was in my life and how it felt when I knew them.

In the 80's, I thought of them as a synth punk band, but a bit more mysterious. But, they could also be great in dance clubs, and their sound was a mood changer.

In the 90's, I remember them in college dorms and bars before grunge hit, and after grunge hit. They had music that fit in both eras.

Robert Smith's creations were much more eclectic than the stigmas his bands have been tagged with over the years.

From the 70's to the 90's, they were just under the surface, with a breakthrough hit every now and then, but they were always there. When you think of "alternative music" it's hard to top what they did for three decades.
