The Cure

Favourite B-sides

What are your favourite B-sides? I've just been getting into their B-sides, I'm thinking about buying Join The Dots, what do you think?

Re: Favourite B-sides

popular thread this one..

favourite b side, the exploding boy, possibly because inbetween days was my first cure 7", but it is still cool anyway.
if you can get the cassette of standing on a beach it has the best of the b sides anyway, but join the dots is a good investment, disc 1 being the cassette b side in it's entirety..

My favourite actual b-side has to be This Twilight Garden. It's just so dreamy and reminds me of the back garden at my mum's house from years ago :-)

Re: Favourite B-sides

I'd DEFINITELY buy Join The Dots! My most-listened-to Cure CDs!! :-)

I really should, I always go on youtube to listen to their b-sides so it would make a lot more sense if I just bough Join The Dots. They have such brilliant b-sides :)

Hello Cats :) How are you?

This Twilight Garden is a favourite of mine too, it's so beautiful and it is very dreamy.

That's lovely that it reminds you of your Mum's back garden :)

Join The Dots is a must-have Cure cd.

My fave b-side swings between It Used To Be Me and Spilt Milk.... but for pure romance, it is Halo.

Re: Favourite B-sides

Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhh there are so many!

Mr Pink Eyes

Throw your foot

Exploding Boy ( it still rips my heart now like it did when i got the 7" inbetween days single back in 1985)

Enjoy :)

Re: Favourite B-sides

I know what disc I'll be putting in my car tomorrow!

Disc 1, of Join the dots! (or disc 3)

Haven't heard those songs in so long!

Re: Favourite B-sides

I would have to say Harold and Joe, from the Never Enough single,

Re: Favourite B-sides

Harold and Joe or maybe Twilight Garden... I just recently got Join the Dots and I am slowly (intentionally slowly) making my way through it... and I haven't heard Signal to Noise yet so...

Re: Favourite B-sides

Original Poster - Songsabouthappiness! Buy Join The Dots as soon as possible. It's very worth it!

Re: Favourite B-sides

At the moment I'd have to go with A Boy I Never Knew..

Maybe Someday.. :p

Re: Favourite B-sides

Doubt and How Beautiful You Are(that is a B-side right?)

Re: Favourite B-sides

A few of my favorite b-sides

Adonais, Home, Fear of Ghosts, This twilight garden, Ocean, The exploding boy, Halo, Out of mind, Play, Do the hansa, Stop dead, I'm cold, Breathe, Snow In Summer, A few hours after this, Splintered in Her Head, A Pink Dream ... I could go on forever!

I remember once saying I would love to see The Cure do a b-side tour. In some ways, I guess my dream came true with The Reflections tour... if it's the same set they did in Australia earlier this year they'll be playing some early b-sides :)
