Lets settle this once and for all Sup Forums. Who is the better band? I personally think the smiths are better
The smiths v the cure
Siouxsie and the Banshees
The Smith imo.
...
It's possible to like both at the same time.
the smiths, but unfortunately they flamed out really quickly.
fpbp
If you are "depressed" and use it to whine and fuck girls you like The Smiths more
If you are "depressed" and use it to bring a smile to other people's faces you like the Cure more
>fuck girls
>like The Smiths
pick one
Faggy and faggier
thid
This.
sioux never quit
The Cure
The Cure obviously. The Smiths are one trick pony
The cure by far
this
Neither.
Also a very good answer.
The Smiths but very barely, both amazing bands
The Smiths had a higher quality of work as an average, but I think The Cure had higher peaks
This is true though desu
This. The Smiths are for annoying "depressed" who wanna wallow in their own self pity. The Cure is for "depressed" people who've realized how useless trying for happiness is.
All retards, Siouxsie and the Banshees is the epitome of tone deaf goth rock and has rightfully been forgotten by all but a few contrarian fags who pretend they're good because they're not as well known
>Siouxsie and the Banshees is the epitome of tone deaf goth rock
Maybe on the first two records(the first of which was actually pretty fantastic and influential).
After that they quickly asserted themselves as one the best and most colorful pop bands of the 80s. Possibly the very best pop band of the 80s.

The Banshees are one of the signature bands of the post-punk era though, and were, at their commercial peak, almost as big as The Cure and The Sisters Of Mercy(who remain the definitive arena-goth bands, aside from maybe The Cult).
The cure are pleb tier mall goth pop music
But The Smiths are pitchfork drone critics darlings
I can't decide who is worse
Morrissey made better music on his own than either the Smiths or The Cure but Johnny Marr is one of my favorite guitar players of all time
Does anyone listen to The Chameleons?
For some reason they are way more depressing to listen to even though they aren't really straight gothy like the cure or hover goth like the smiths
Both of the other bands mentioned here consider them an important influence on their bands
>The two songwriters of the Smiths cited the band. Singer Morrissey said that "Siouxsie and the Banshees were excellent", and that "they were one of the great groups of the late 70s, early 80s". He also said in 1994, "If you study modern groups, those who gain press coverage and chart action, none of them are as good as Siouxsie and the Banshees at full pelt. That's not dusty nostalgia, that's fact". Guitarist Johnny Marr, mentioned his liking for Banshees guitarist John McGeoch and his contribution to the single "Spellbound". Marr qualified it as "clever" with a "really good picky thing going on which is very un-rock'n'roll".
>The Cure's leader, Robert Smith, declared in 2003: "Siouxsie and the Banshees and Wire were the two bands I really admired. They meant something." He also pinpointed what the 1979 Join Hands tour brought him musically. "On stage that first night with the Banshees, I was blown away by how powerful I felt playing that kind of music. It was so different to what we were doing with the Cure. Before that, I'd wanted us to be like the Buzzcocks or Elvis Costello, the punk Beatles. Being a Banshee really changed my attitude to what I was doing".
and how are they not well known? They're probably the most well known Goth Rock band after the Cure. They're not sodding Klaus Mitffoch or something.
ummmm fanx 4 the (You)s friends, I've never listened to Siouxsie and the Banshees in my life and was shitposting out of boredom. Might give them a try now since I was provided with links :)
how do you fuck girls by whining and being depressed because that's all I do and I don't even know any girls
The Cure had higher highs. The Smiths only seem like a better band because they were around for a shorter period of time.
>Sisters Of Mercy

Some Girls Wander By Mistake and First And Last And Always are vastly superior to anything The Smiths and especially The Cure ever did.
I love them both but Disintegration and Pornography are better than any of the Smiths albums.
wrong
The Cure. Morrissey is pathetic.
But it's not.
the cure is for when you want to fuck girls
the smiths is for when you want to fuck guys
but it is
...
what if i want to fuck both
Objective truths. I crave for the day that Moz's ulcera finally gets the better of him.
How?
Both
Literally impossible to decide for me
Nah
The Cure, because they aren't as depressing and pathetic.
because I said so
Late 80s Killing Joke
Great reasoning
thanks
The Cure are a better band than The Smiths, but The Queen is Dead is better than any Cure release, but Disintegration get's pretty close
The cure and the smiths are still good. Echo and the bunnymen are much better.
Nice thumbnail faggo
This is better than anything from either discography
