The Cure were as responsible as anyone for the brooding, post-punk pop sound of the late 80s and early 90s. They never descended into gloomy shoegazing, however, and their compositions were tight and very conducive to dancing—and wogging. This collection of singles is an outstanding compendium of their songs, and shows them at their best. Wearing all black clothing and eye shadow is optional.ge.
