(Thompson would leave and rejoin more than once, and he’s not the only member to have taken such a route.) Eventually, a few singers left, and Smith decided he could do as good a job as anyone in the frontman department. With Smith as the guitarist, that band eventually morphed into the Easy Cure by 1977 and included Mick Dempsey, Laurence “Lol” Tolhurst, and Pearl Thompson, all of whom would fall out with Smith at one point or another. Robert Smith, a precious lad who once wore a dress to his Crawley, West Sussex, school, formed Malice with a few mates in 1976, the Year Punk Broke, and began gigging around town. they’ve all become fundamental parts of the universe, an entire color.
SONGS BY THE WHO MAC
There’s just no point in debating the Cure versus Fleetwood Mac or A Tribe Called Quest or R.E.M. I am merely saying there is a rarefied place where the Beatles hover that few groups get to, where their achievements are so singular and monumental, and their influence is so vast, that they can’t be measured against anyone in any real way. (Though, pointedly, I am not not saying that.)
I’m not saying the Cure is the second-best band to ever exist. The only band that can be said to be better than the Cure is the Beatles.
