 THE CURE

Out of all the bands that emerged in the immediate aftermath of punk rock in the late '70s, 

few were as enduring and popular as the Cure. Led through numerous incarnations by

guitarist/vocalist Robert Smith, the band became well-known for its slow, gloomy dirges 

and Smith's ghoulish appearance, a public image that often hid the diversity of the Cure's music.

At the outset, the Cure played jagged, edgy pop songs before slowly evolving into a more textured outfit. 

As one of the bands that laid the seeds for goth rock, the group created towering layers 

of guitars and synthesizers, but by the time goth caught on in the mid-'80s, the Cure 

had moved away from the genre. By the end of the '80s, the band had crossed over into 

the mainstream not only in its native England, but also in the United States and in various parts 

of Europe. The Cure remained a popular concert draw and reliable record-seller throughout 

the '90s, and their influence could be heard clearly on scores of new bands 

during the new millennium, including many that had little to do with goth
