“The Cure” (originally Easy Cure) Robert Smith started in 1976 with his schoolmates in Crawley, England. The debut album “Three Imaginary Boys” was released as “The Cure” in 1979, and was immediately praised by critics, categorizing the group in the direction of the postbank and the new wave. With the next album, Seventeen Seconds, the guys gradually turned to a new, gloomier style, which, along with Smith’s stage image, strongly influenced the emerging Gothic rock genre, as well as the entire subculture that eventually developed around the genre.

Since then, “The Cure” is considered one of the pioneers and brightest representatives of the Gothic rock. Robert Smith, however, has always recovered from the desire to put the group in a certain category, commenting in a 2006 interview: “It’s so unfortunate to still see the ‘Gothic’ tag next to The Cure. We can’t be classified. when we started, but overall it’s not possible … I just play Cure music, whatever that means. “

Although generally considered to be the creator of dark, gloomy, and textually in-depth music, The Cure in the broader field of pop music is also known for a series of more upbeat songs that began with “Let’s Go To Bed” and continued with “Inbetween Days,” “Close To Me “,” Just Like Heaven “,” Lovesong “and of course the reading” Friday I’m in Love “.

Disintegration (1989) with “Lullaby”, “Lovesong” and “Pictures of You” became the most commercially successful album on The Cure.

During his career, The Cure has released 13 studios, several concert and favorite albums, and more than 40 singles, selling more than 30 million records. They also have several concert films in their account, as well as the use of their compositions on motion pictures. It’s no secret that Robert Smith’s figure was borrowed from one of the most iconic films by director Tim Burton, “Edward Scorpion.” After the film was released, Smith collaborated musically with Burton on two other films.

In 2019, The Cure was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
