The Smiths vs. The Cure

I've never understood how this is even a question

The cure of course but I'd take morrissey's lyrics over robert's any day

>>74450618
The Smiths, because they have more engaging music and lyrics.

>>74450683
That's not an answer.

The Smiths for their words, The Cure for the guitar and drums, neither of them for the men., and both of them for feeling miserable.

the cure

Der Joy Division

The Cure have a couple of good songs like A Forest and Killing an Arab. The Smiths are an empty void of nothingness.

Are you trying to suggest The Smiths don't have any good songs? Because half of their discog is brilliant songs. The Cure were way more inconsistent and have a lot more shit songs.

Why do these bands even get compared?

>>74451006
Both their lead singers are kind of faggots and their names both start with "The"

>>74450618
the only good the cure album is their debut, so the smiths

>>74450618
The Smiths.

They were around a lot longer to make bad music, if the smiths had tried as hard they would have fallen flat a similar amount of times.

Johnny Marr and Robert Smith together would have made a better band.

>>74451006
Both very influential and big at the same time, from the same country, similar genre, both have iconic frontmen, similar aesthetic and mood

I'll have you know Robert is not a faggot.

Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me?

Maybe The Smiths would have gone to shit after a while, but if you just take both band's first 4 albums, then The Smiths are still far more consistent.

>>74451100
Their debut is one of their worst albums.
Listen to their work from Pornography to The Wish again and reconsider your opinion.

Can't choose between these two bands tho, I like The Cure more but it's because of my memories and shit
They're just both great

Both are bands that guys don't normally listen to until they get their heart ripped out from them by some qt non-normie girl that's amazing at first but then become a massive tumblrina fucking cunt and then you can't listen to those two British faggots without smoking half a pack and contemplating jumping in your Golf and gunnning non stop to western Germany and doing that "agendered, pansexual asexual" whore's head in, fuck you Emily you cunt
