The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, Sussex in 1976, widely seen as one of the leading pioneers of the British alternative rock scene of the 1980s. The band has experienced several lineup changes, with frontman, guitarist and main songwriter Robert Smith—known for his iconic wild hair, pale complexion, smudged lipstick and frequently gloomy and introspective lyrics—as the only constant member.
The members of The Cure were barely out of their teens when they first started releasing music in the late 1970s and their first album Three Imaginary Boys and early singles placed them as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. After the release of 1982's Pornography, the band's future was uncertain and frontman Robert Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation his band had cultivated. With the 1982 single "Let's Go to Bed" Smith began to inject more of a pop sensibility into the band's music. The Cure's popularity increased as the decade wore on, especially in the United States, where the songs "Just Like Heaven", "Lovesong" and "Friday I'm in Love" entered the Billboard Top 40 charts respectively at #40, #2 and #18. By the start of the 1990s, The Cure were one of the most popular alternative bands in the world and have sold an estimated 34 million albums as of 2007

The question could also be, Who are the Best 80s Goth Band ever?
Or how about this? How did Robert Smith spend all that time being so unhappy and yet manage not to kill himself ... really, it's pretty amazing if you think about it.

Or a treatment for drug or alcohol addiction.
or add an accent, and it's the local young catholic priest.
Curing bacon doesn't mean it can run around afterwards.
But thick bacon sandwiches can cure hunger.
OK, also a band.
