The Cure
This article is about The Cure, the rock band. For other article subjects named The Cure see The Cure (disambiguation).
The Cure are considered to be one the most important bands of the 1980s, and have had much influence on later bands. They are often described as a goth band, though some dispute this labelling.
The creative force behind the band is the singer Robert Smith, who writes all the lyrics and almost all the music (he wrote the entire album The Head on the Door). They have existed since 1976, and originally went by the names "Malice" and "Easy Cure" before deciding on their current name. They have to date released 13 full length studio albums or double albums (as well as a number of concert albums and compilations and the 1978 demos) each one in a different style. The albums nevertheless share common features, notably Smith's distinctive vocal style.
