Name your three favourite songs by... [The Cure]

[thewobbler]

Any more for The Manics ?

Oh look, a drab, boring 90s band with maybe 3 distinguishable songs, didn't get much chitter chatter going. Who'd have guessed?

Curate the recommendations Austy. There's a handful of people who associate the happiest days of their lives in the 1990s with the utter drivel music that accompanied those days. Ignore them. Curate.

Frig me Wobbler , I kicked up less stink when Neil Diamond was  going on!

We're giving the people  what they want,  what they suggested themselves .

Its only a bit of craic. 

Ive not always been  enamoured with the choices but I  use it to do a bit of delving into  different bands I wouldn't normally do. You will find the odd nugget  if you look hard enough

So they don't sound like the Smiths, but they tried to but ultimately failed? Got ye

Exactly,you do get it.

F&W have a place. But if they are the biggest band to ever come from Cork, Cork is by definition a musical black hole

I get you were attempting to be a culture vulture , but you know when someone's going for a point and doesn't even hit the ball catchers, that was you.

Embrace Cork, don't hate it

I don't hate Cork.

I'm pointing out that for a city ad county of it's size there is an alarming lack of music. Even the two examples of rock bands are niche and never broke outside of Ireland. Even Derry and Limerick did that

Both are bigger in the UK than in Ireland

Cork has a vibrant music scene because the Sultans of Ping are big in England...

Have a word with yourself

We have a different definition of broke.

The Sultans have had 1 top 50 single in Britain.

Inspired by a very good busker today, does The Waterboys make the curated cut?

They've been mentioned before,  yes. I'll add them  to the list

Fun fact. They were so inspired/horrified by Appetite for Destruction and it's white trash soul they recorded Generation Terrorists as a response

[gallsman]

Don't think there's any suggestion of them being horrified. They've always acknowledged GnR as one of, if not the biggest influences on their music. They've toured with them before as well.

A touch more liberal in their lyrics for sure.

Not with GnR per say. More where they came from and the culture within.
