    Fave Cure album and why is it Seventeen Seconds/Disintegration? A lot of you asked for this version so here it is.
    You can download an mp3 of it on my Patreon (link in description, it's not a full song just the audio here).
    I really admire how they changed so much through the years but still sound like THEM.
    Anyway, enjoy!

      Actually, it's Pornography. Just because they were at their darkest, musically and personally. The title track is perfect

      I find the songs you propose interesting, however, in that matter that it is very easy to compose a song in these obscure styles, using band names, as a mockery, you yourself take away the value of your work. You should make it known as your project and not take great exponents of the dark scene, just to have more exposure. Still, I like the ideas you bring up. Only have respect for those who have consecrated themselves.

Always wondering what it was these guys were doing with those bass sounds, guitar tones and atmospheres that put shivers down my spine. My favourite Cure album is Faith or Pornography.

    Faith is probably my absolute favorite. Pornography and Disintegration are definite contenders for top spot though as well.
    Ultimately:
    The Cure to the Disintegration of Faith is to Wish for Seventeen Seconds of Pornography. Burn The Head On The Door of Charlotte Sometimes.
    (All my favorite albums and 2 of my favorite songs in 2 sentences.) (Although I should probably think of a way to add Bloodflowers in there somewhow...)
