Show # 6 'Why Can't I Be You?'

All Cure cover songs!

(1996)
Guess who I wanted to be way back when...

Apparently, I wasn't alone in my endeavours with just a few of many Cure tribute albums as proof.

I selected a handful of my particular favourites from three that came out recently:
And finally NME's February 25th CD companion 'Pictures Of You: A Tribute To Godlike Geniuses The Cure' in light of The Cure's recent 'NME Godlike Genius Award'.


I won't say much more and simply let the music speak for itself...

Besides, Robert Smith gives a far superior introduction than I ever could.

Would you expect anything less from a genius?


"I'm smitten, I'm bitten, I'm hooked, I'm cooked, I'm stuck like glue..."
