Description

The Cure - The Top. Clan of Paranor.

The Top is the fifth studio album by British alternative rock band the Cure, released on 30 April 1984 by record label Fiction. It entered the UK Albums Chart at N°10 on 12 May. Shortly after its release, the Cure embarked on a major UK tour culminating with a three-night residency at the Hammersmith Odeon in London.

Album released 1984 All songs published by Fiction Songs. Digitally remastered at Universal Mastering, London. The Cure Piggy In The Mirror The Top 3:41. The Cure The Empty World The Top 2:37. The Cure Birdmad Girl The Top 4:06. The Cure - The Top 6:49.

That said, it's still very much a Cure record. Heavy on the percussion and quaint keyboard effects that were so big in the '80s, the melodies ("The Caterpillar," "Shake Dog Shake") are unmistakably Robert Smith. The big change this time around is his ability to fuse the paranoia and neuroses of former work (Pornography) with his newfound use of pop melody and outside influences (. world travels, sounds, instruments) to moderate success ("Wailing Wall," "Piggy in the Mirror").

The Cure's debut album, Three Imaginary Boys (1979), reached number forty-four on the UK Albums Chart. The next two albums, Seventeen Seconds (1980) and Faith (1981), were top 20 hits in the UK, reaching number twenty and number fourteen respectively

The Cure is ranked number 32 in the overall artist rankings with a total rank score of 80,805. Cure - Head On The Door 180g vinyl LP NEW/SEALED Condition: New. Time left: 5m 57s. Ships to: Worldwide. The Cure-Visions Of Domino-LIVE/STUDIO RECORDINGS-NEW LP Condition: New. Time left: 6m 51s. The Final Sound, A Forest (cause you’re not a fan if you don’t have Forest in top 10). One of the best bands that I’ve ever heard both live and in studio, hands down.

Lyrics to "The Top" song by The Cure: I don't care If only I could say that And not feel so sick and scared I don't care If only I could . .It's jesus brilliant You used to laugh Walking these gorgeous blocks This top is the place Where nobody goes You just imagine You just imagine it all. Every day I lie here And know that it's true All I really want is you Please come back Please come back Like all the other ones do. Please come back All of you. Submit Corrections.

Just about every Cure album is worth picking up, and even those ranked lowest boast worthwhile moments. Also worth noting is that the 13 studio albums do not tell the whole story. The vast majority of those are included on the essential 2004 box-set Join the Dots: B-sides & Rarities 1978-2001. There are no right answers. A strong argument could be made for at least four of the Cure's albums to be at the top. Regardless, it's nice to be able to look back with some distance on the entire catalog to see where everything fits. The Cure's fascinating musical legacy - which will surely get them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame someday - will endure for generations of new fans.
