Joy Div and The Cure for me



I played Friday I'm in Love every Friday when taking my kids to school in the car so it has great memories.

I was a full on Ian Curtis depressed teenager but actually prefer New Order, especially the ridiculous lyrics

Another weak group. Chic and The Cure, I guess, but there are better bands heading out of the competition

Whilst the small faces were an excellent band and the cure also, but nirvana defined a generation and a genre of music. How can they not be leading this group? Too many oldies on this board has to be the reason.

Joy Division defined the era and the grimness of Thatcherism.

The only one of the Groups to require a tie-breaker coin toss as stipulated in "The Rules" was Group H.

The Cure called "Heads" on all 3 tosses, and beat Nirvana 2-1 to go through to the Round of 16
