The Cure’s Candy Hearts

By | The Y! Music Playlist Blog – Sun, Feb 12, 2012 9:38 PM EST

I there's one band that reminds me of my college years, it's The Cure. The band's music will always have a special place in my collection. The Cure have always been incredibly melodic, with multiple hummable melodies coming in what seems like every song they produce. But in addition to the glimmering sound that Robert Smith & Co. have forged, the music of The Cure is hopelessly romantic. If we were to compare bands to the works of Shakespeare, there would be no hesitation in naming The Cure the Romeo & Juliet of rock.

This is a band that could certainly market their own box of candy hearts on Valentine's day. This playlist includes my top 10 Cure song picks for conversation hearts.
