Seeing as we’ve just unveiled the results of the Slicing Up Eyeballs readers poll that ranked all 225 original, officially released songs by The Cure, it seemed fitting to slap together a Spotify playlist. Unfortunately, there were 16 songs, out of that total list of 225, that aren’t on the streaming service, so this 15 hour, 32 minute mix of Robert Smith goodness will have to do.

Lol. Is Camus’ “The Stranger” banned, too?
The original version of Let’s Go to Bed can’t be found on Spotify…only a live version, and that bothers me. In fact, Spotify needs to include the Standing on a Beach (or Staring at the Sea) compilation. Not sure why they don’t…
I can’t remember how I found now, but it is on Spotify… I used it in this playlist. But you have to search for it. Japanese Whispers is on Spotify, but doesn’t come up on the Cure’s page.

Thank you for those links. Unfortunately, they are all unavailable in the U.S., so I cannot add them to the playlist…
