let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

[QUOTE=Majestic_Mayhem] Aint prog, but Robert Smith is one of my biggest music influences!!!
Fave Album in order:
1. Disintegration
Excellent choice,Mayhem!!!My fav from them too.I like such dark,kinda "gothic" music,"Homesickness"(bonus from Disintegration) is awesome stuff!!!
Dare I say they are ... Neo-prog related? 
Just kidding.They're not prog,but the't're great.Dozens of Russian & Ukrainian bands (even so-called "Legends of Soviet Rock" )are more than inspired by THE CURE

the have some more complex pop songs but not really
prog.. they did pretty bad albums at 90's but their " trilogy :
pornography, disintergration, bloodflowers are REALLY great.. those
three albums are masterpieces, their other albums aren't so good !! +
robert smith is truly original singer and writes good lyrics.

Hmm, gdub, this might come as a surprise, but Peter Hammill expressed a liking for them. But then the "King of Fear", as Peter Hammill has occasionally been named, and the "Prince of Paranoia", a byname of Robert Smith of the Cure, should be expected to get along quite well .

Not prog, but they have put out some great records. My second favorite 80s alternative/pop-rock band (behind The Smiths).

I enjoy their music a lot, but it really isn't that proggy most of the time.

They're a very good band, one of those few pop rock bands I still like
They had their proggy moments, but overall IMO not enough to be included here.

Not long ago I heard a double-cd of them.
IMO they are not even prog-related!

thats kind of like saying David Bowie is prog, moreso
his mid career hit on it and one or two could be
considered prog related. The Cure's music at times
can verge on progressive but almost anything with a
dance beat is really hard to classify head music.
Depeche Mode, Happy Mondays and NIN are
probably the closest commerial bands to the idea.
Most all good bands have a touch or more of
progressive tendencies, the Red Hot Chili Peppers
will be next, right?

great band, great ideas, outstanding music, but no prog in here, is very far and in some ways "aginst" the idea of classic prog, they started as a part of the new-wave/post-punk era.
