I vote NO as for considering them being prog. (and for that matter, for even being good)

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. peace ------------- between darkness and light |

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?

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

No, they are NOT prog. They are a sh*t band. They suck. NEVER bring their name up here again.

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. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

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

Japanese Whispers 7. Faith 8. Seventeen Seconds 9. The Top 10. and the rest... Live: 1. Show (if im not mistaken, the year was 94???) one of the best sounding live albums ive heard

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 .-------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

| 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. |

[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
