Radio Paradise works like that a lot, in my experience. I also enjoy when it makes a completely unexpected yet perfectly appropriate transition.

Okay, I know a LOT of people like the English beat stuff, but it sounds like whining to me.

RUNS to computer to turn it up, notch a 8 —-> 9!  Please play more of The Cure, Bill!

The only thing even better than this is the Blue Mix of the same song (one of the B-sides of the single release).

One of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands. Have just upped it from 9 to 10.

Sometimes feeling bad helps to get to feeing good. The Cure and this song did that for me years ago. Some of it never goes away though. What a song...

This is the sort of tune I put in my playlist called, "prodding what is already sore"- in a good way, that is...

Unlike all that Pink Floyd that gets played on here. (Which I also like, by the way.)

"High" - also from Wish - should get airplay on RP. Another nice one.

We used to play this in our all-accoustic cellar room band. I think the songs benefits from not overproducing it. Very simple, very beautiful. 9

I was surprised by how good the Cure was on their reunion tour this year.  The Charlotte show was pretty damn good.

I was never much of a Cure fan ... but got a chance to catch them live a few years ago ... and found Robert Smith to be one of the most fascinating stage presences I've seen since Bowie! Of course it doesn't hurt to be surrounded by ten thousand die-hard Cure fans. But still ... there's something genuine and original in this band. I was converted.

Maybe one day I´ll understand what this band
is about. Right now I think it´s one of these
(god forbid) "you had to be there"-bands. Well,
I wasn´t and most of what i hear from them is,
well, I don´t get it.

I don't think of the cure when I listen to Interpol. I have most of the cure's albums, all of Interpol's and although the sound may be perceived as dark and brooding, Interpol is a bit more spot on. Unless you're talking about really, really early cure, there is no comparison. The cure are basically too poppy and Interpol are more underground and therefore more expressive for expressions sake.

This is a beautiful sad song.
How can the Cure's popularity baffle?
This song has great lyrics.
Robert Smith has the uncanny ability to sing about whatever he's feeling, and it always sounds good.
It's easy for him it seems.
I'd like all the critics to try it.
But you can't can you?
Ehh whatever, to each his own.

Ditto, there has been ALOT of Cure played on RP in the last week or so ?????

These two listeners and jah_blessed have good points. The "melody" is just a monotonous sort of up and down and the singing voices have a wobbly, palatonasal whininess . . . This group has done better.
