The Cure are our Stars of Today

The Cure



The Cure are a successful English rock band, widely seen as one of the leading pioneers of the British alternative rock scene of the 1980s. A combination of lead singer Robert Smith's iconic wild hair, pale complexion, smudged lipstick, and the frequently gloomy and introspective lyrics have led to the band being primarily classified as gothic rock.


However, the band rejects this, citing the variety of their material. This variety is exemplified by very exuberant and optimistic pop, such as the singles "The Lovecats", "Why Can't I Be You" and "High." The Cure have sold close to 50 million albums worldwide?
