Why are The Smiths and The Cure compared so much?

They are nothing alike

what do you mean? they sound the same. I couldn't tell them apart if they were color coded

Popular alternative bands around at the same time, with similar lyrical concepts, and with frontmen that hated each other.

Both grew out of the British post-punk scene.

This. All these bands had members who were snotty teens into the Sex Pistols and went off into arty / goth directions when they grew up a bit.

The Smiths are in a league of their own and anyone comparing them to The fucking Cure is a dimwitted simpleton.

I don't think it's so much their music is that similar. It's the cult followings both bands got that is related.

Both are terrible

because mozza and robert smith said mean words about each other

did rob and moz really not get along?

The smiths sucks

Yes but everyone seems to compare their music

I haven't seen that

Yeah pretty much this.

>Robert SMITH
>The Smiths

they're arguably the two most popular bands of the 1980's British alt rock scene. Both bands have similar musical vibes.

Nobody has yet mentioned that they were both Manchester bands

That's because The Cure aren't.

because they both have that faggy sound

Smiths never made anything that even comes close to this

It was more Moz that hated Rob than the other way around. Morrissey's a bit of a bitch.

direct opposite

They actually did 4 times, 7 times if you include Hatful of Hollow, The World Won't Listen and Louder Than Bombs. Furthermore, Morrissey did so 5 more times solo with Bona Drag, Vauxhall and I, Your Arsenal, Ringleader of the Tormentors and You are the Quarry.

>he likes solo Morrissey

I've only listened to one Smiths album but did they ever do anything like Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me or Head on the Door?

>he got filtered by solo morrissey

cringe

hi moz

The Smiths are more acclaimed than The Cure, it's not surprising to hold that opinion. Additionally, Moz has already stated that his heart lies more in his solo work than The Smiths.

Both came out of post-punk

More people know the Cure outside of the UK and Mexico

Stupid Brit. It’s two low class brits crying into a microphone.
