Post-punk isn't exactly in my musical wheelhouse as far as judging which bands are better, and I like both bands from what I've heard, but the only album either band has released that I've listened to extensively is Disintegration. I voted for The Cure just for that.

I'm shocked that on this forum, the Smiths are losing.

I'm not. The Cure was very popular in its day. It seemed like every cover band I saw in the late eighties/early nineties had to open up with Just Like Heaven.


I did vote for the Smiths though.

The Smiths but I mean, this is a pretty weird comparison, the main things they have in common are the 80s and frontmen who have the dance moves of some kind of eel.

but the first 2 Smiths albums really are 10/10 perfect albums, super iconic and deservedly so
I'm surprised you don't consider The Queen Is Dead a 10/10.

But differently lyrically, The Smiths were sardonic, and The Cure were morose.
