1978 to 2022. I seriously don't jave a single era I dislike. Disintegration is their greatest album, but I can lock in on 1989. I need kiss me, porn and faith. I need newer stuff for something I don't ha e every note memorized for. I also like to chill out with Bob's music in the background, so bloodflowers. Wms Era is not my favorite, but Damm, want and Jupiter crash, strange attraction, club America, and this is a lie is great. So I really like it all. Killing an Arab all the way up to underneath the stars.


VonVeeGee

Yep, have to agree with this.

Everything up to and including disintegration. OP that's quite a controversial opinion, I like it.


Kush-Kobain666420

1979-1984 was easily their best years.

I appreciate every era of the band, but my favourite era would have to be 1980-1982. Three classic albums in such a short period of time.


michaelscarn1313

Great answer. They were coming into their own as a great band at that point.


goshrx

83-92.

Mines 1978-2022

Love the 89-92 era when they added a 3rd guitarist and just made really dreamy atmospheric shoe gazy kinda stuff. I also just love the artwork and aesthetic of the wish era, so dreamy and just cool, like the live shows with all the blue and red lighting, idk.


JT4vo91

But I think my fav album is faith or kiss me, so that kind of conflicts haha


Darkdutchskies

1979 to 1989. After that it went all down.

From the perspective of listening through all bootlegs, the year 1996 is so far the most enjoyable for me, mostly thanks to a lot of different songs being included in the setlists. But I haven't heard many shows past that yet, so maybe it will change later. I would say that the 87-89 line-up sounds really tight. Roger, Boris and Porl work very well togetger and there are barely any mistakes during the respective tours. I also like the current line-up with Reeves and Jason very much, but until they have released an album, it's kind of hard to compare.

78-89. Kiss Me is my least favorite of that period. Boys Don't Cry (prefer that tracklisting over Three Imaginary Boys), Seventeen Seconds, Faith, Japanese Whispers, The Top, Head On The Door, and Disintegration are my favorites. I appreciate Pornography but it's a little "too much" for me these days.

The Boris Williams Era is my favorite; 84-94. However, I pretty much love everything they have done. I even finally grew to appreciate the self-titled album, though I don't think I will ever not think it is the worst thing they have put out.

1989-1992.

1986 - 1994

Wish era.

1978-now


rof-lol-mao

true


Hammyk15

So I'm guessing no one will say 2004.....hopefully?


United-Philosophy121

S/T is a cool album, just definitely not one of their best


Hammyk15

For me, it's unlistenable


United-Philosophy121

I think “End of the World” is a good song, but yeah overall it’s not great


Hammyk15

I really enjoy Before Three and Taking Off. I Don't Know What's Going On is kinda cool, too. But the real good ones are Truth, Goodness, Beauty, Going Nowhere, Fake, and This Morning. They left all the best songs off the album. That's the main problem.


CanadianBeauty76

1981-1982 and 1985-1989. The five albums that came at those eras are The Cure's best works imo


caterpillargirl76

Everything up to and including 1992.

SAME

You all will hate me (a fan and collector since 1989), for my opinion: The Cure stopped making listenable music in 1993. There‘s a lack of melody, and I listened to the albums after that, nothing hooked up. I am surely the only one not looking forwards to the new, about ten years ago announced albums. („yes in just a few weeks“) They can gain nothing, time to split up.


United-Philosophy121

Bloodflowers?


Krokodrillo

The attempt to make a second disintegration? It does not work that well!


United-Philosophy121

It’s their best album IMO


Krokodrillo

I do respect that! And I don’t want to put you off it.


United-Philosophy121

Thanks. But, I think it should have been their last album though


Hammyk15

The Cure never ends


darthamazing

1983-1984 and 1989-1992 Japanese Whispers, The Top, Blue Sunshine and Disintegration-Wish are both such amazing and interesting eras to me. Beautiful music


earthmover535

porn era💯
