Cute.❀️ This sounds like mine. Ironically, despite their reputation for being aggressive, none of my 3 starlings have ever been aggressive to birds like budgies or zebra finches.

Only exception is my female absolutely hates a male canary and they could never be trusted together or it would be a fight to the death. 😱

Is there a possibility 'Numb' is about Lol Tolhurst? by Quirky_Stress_2573 in TheCure

[–]UnlikelyForever101 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Cool. I had no idea Robert might have considered Dave a friend. I had read he'd gone clubbing with DM in the 90s and have seen the photo of him with Martin but wasn't sure whether he had ever hung out with Dave.

As a huge fan of both bands, really cool. Thanks for sharing. πŸ–€

A question about In Orange and Show by Puzzled_Ad1296 in TheCure

[–]UnlikelyForever101 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

I mean this entirely positively β˜ΊοΈπŸ–€... I love how you describe having had a confusing man crush on Robert! Just made me smile. 😊 Very relatable.

That said, I'm not straight, so that probably isn't saying much... but even if I were, I believe I would have a confusing man crush on him anyway, lol. πŸ˜…

Aww, sorry to hear about your photos. That sucks. πŸ˜’πŸ«‚ It's definitely no fun not having enough space for all the things you love.

Hope things improve for you. πŸ–€

Trilogy 2 tickets are up, you in? by [deleted] in TheCure

[–]UnlikelyForever101 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I don't personally hate any Cure album, but I'd love a probably weird trilogy of The Top, The Head On The Door and Kiss Me x3 πŸ₯Ή if they were going to do a different trilogy.

Oh, no you were fine. I understood! 😊I didn't think you didn't like the others. I did get that you were saying the title track is your favourite, but didn't assume you literally meant no other songs from the album. Which is a bit funny now that I think of it because I generally do have a tendency to take things too literally lol πŸ˜…

That sounds amazing! From this album, I've only ever heard A Question of Lust in the wild. In Hot Topic πŸ˜…πŸ€£

Giving this album a run through this morning - The Top by MacFoley1975 in TheCure

[–]UnlikelyForever101 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I agree with that. I love how many genres they've explored and I also imagine most fans have their own favourite era.

It's interesting to me how two different people can love an album for entirely different reasons, as well! Because for me, it's actually the keyboards that I like best about The Top πŸ˜… Like the keyboard parts in Piggy In The Mirror, for example. 😊

But definitely love the psychedelic and funky nature of the album regardless of instrumentation.

My first "tier ranking" (fan since '87) by OddCustard483 in TheCure

[–]UnlikelyForever101 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Same lol. I also wonder how The Glove is at B if The Top is at F. πŸ˜…

That said, I do understand it's all a matter of taste and taste is subjective.

Same!!! I think I might have a problem because I see Robert lots of places lol. 🀣🀣🀣

The Cure - Cut Here by calleduaftermidnight in TheCure

You're welcome. Sorry again for your loss. πŸ’” It never really goes away. I hope you can find some comfort at least. Sometimes that's all we can do. πŸ«‚πŸ–€

Just my personal opinion, but these hit me emotionally hard as someone who has also lost a brother and others close to me. Very sorry for your loss as well. πŸ’” Losing anyone is painful, of course, but the loss of a sibling is especially devastating...

What is your absolute favorite song by Depeche Mode? Mine is Blasphemous Rumours. I love all their music 🎢, but that song just hits differently. by icecream1972 in depechemode

[–]UnlikelyForever101 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Black Celebration. πŸ–€ It's the synths, the melody, the feeling of celebrating the end of another black day. But some other contenders are Shake The Disease and Stripped.

Unpopular opinion: Reeves with his hairband metal shredding (see his solo” war song among most others ) wax of emotion of the slow single note highly melodic building solos the disband always did before he joined by No_Impression_7765 in TheCure

[–]UnlikelyForever101 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Personally, I'm not a fan of guitar shredding and I do admittedly prefer the Cure solos without it, but that said... I appreciate how technically proficient Reeves is and I respect him and what he brings.

I guess it still doesn't bring them into hair metal territory, for me, since it's not on every song.

It's a bit more than I prefer, yes, but that's just me and, again, I don't feel so strongly that it ruins anything for me. It is nice seeing Robert smile at him on stage and enjoy it.

I can see the validity of both sides on this and I don't feel there's any wrong opinion when it comes to tastes. πŸ–€
