The Cure - Out Of Mind (1989)

For this post we're back to proper songs, after the last album's excursion into the more experimental side of the band. The Cure had quite a few hits between 1987 and 1989, with three singles cracking the top 30, before 'Lullaby' hit number 5. The various b-sides are all as good as their flips, and by adding an exclusive track from a Fiction Records compilation we end up with great little album.

    1. I had the same thought when I heard the sad news. 'For Pete's Sake' has always been a favourite, but he didn't write that much for the band. If I include his lead vocals I could come up with something.
