@Odla1222 i was down with "The Southern Death Cult" but when they went straight up "The Cult" and all that "Love Removal Machine bullshit, they lost me! This is My favorite by Southern Death Cult.

I soo adored Ian's voice, but my fuck, when they went the way of Motorhead, I threw the towel in

I LOVE The Cure!! "The spiderman is having me for dinner tonight".

@Key23 yees! Exactly! I felt Everything you wrote and Could Not Agree More with you!!! I don't know what the hell happened, but something Clearly Did because your and I aren't the Only old school Cure lovers who dropped off after Mixed Up. It took work for me to even like Mixed Up. Something went wrong. I really liked Kiss Me X3 a lot... But things changed... For sure.

I never could go back either. My sister is 16 yrs younger than me and I raised her around my LA & SF goth, mod, punk friends so naturally, sure became a weirdo too, haha, she almost married this mega Goth animated Roman Dirge, Co-creator of Invader Zimm and his own is... Lenore the little dead girl or something. But anyway, she stuck to the cure and can't, for the life of her, understand how I am Not.

The same thing happened with me with Depeche Mode, too. Late 80s, I bailed. Same with Siouxsie and the Banshees. After Peek-a-boo, I checked out.

It's like... Entering the, 90s, old 80s underground went whack! I Did stick with most Industrial into the 90s, but I Also got Heavy into the DJ Early EDM/Techno screen haaard, and House music started getting big in SF. I used to go to Huge factory parties and shit with some bad ass DJs and cool Acid Jazz and House. Lots of Club Kids were all over that shit too so it was a wild and fun scene and My Hooome! My Kin.

I saw the cure Many Times in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Loved them so much back in the day!

... Maybe it was all the band member changes in the cures case...
