In this case, I'm pleased to say that I think The Cure are a terrific, if limited, idea and when they first appeared (when I was about nineteen) I really liked Three Imaginary Boys, and then I really disliked The Forest, and after that Robert and I have had a kinduv on-off thing which we've come to understand how to live with. 8/10

Really??? Do you really mean that?

Finally, I can have a decent night's sleep...

The thank-you letter is in the post, by the way.

Similar era. Incidentally, for unashamed pop music, this is the best bass player since McCartney.

4/10. Their hair cuts were bad.

By this stage of his career, Freddy was plumbing unknowable shallows. 3/10

If you're going to be shallow, you should at least pretend to be profound about it.

For some reason, every time I hear The Tubes I think of the outro of a fictional Corey Feldman film. Yes, it's the outro, and the film is not real, but I still have Corey Feldman in my head. Thus, 4/10.

One of my favourite Neil Young songs, below Old Man, Cowgirl in the Sand, and Heart of Gold, but still up there. (8.5/10)

Not bad, a little derivative maybe. 6.5/10

(That Corey Feldman video was something else. I didn't make it all the way though, but I can't say I wasn't entertained!)

Given a choice between this and Corey Feldman, I'd take Corey every time. 0/10. Sorry Nightshade, but I have to act on my conscience.

When this video came out--back in the days before the internet when you didn't have immediate access to everything--my roommate and I would leave MTV on all the time (muted), waiting for this song to play. That was back when MTV still played the occasional music video. 10/10

I like it, but it's maybe a bit monotonous at times. 7/10

I used to really like the Gorillaz a few years back when I was in high school. This is the first single off of their new album coming out next week. I'm not sure I like it, but maybe it will grow on me. I'll probably get the album anyway, just for nostalgia's sake.

Eech! A synthesizer in any song is like mayonnaise on ice cream: a poor pairing.

It's not what I normally choose to listen to, but it's not bad. Plus, she looks quite fetching playing the guitar.* 7/10

A bit of pop rock. Melodic

The calculated persona-making, the comic-strip characterisation, the dumb, thoughtless, girlified version of simple-minded British yobbishness - all that remains utterly unforgiveable. But you've got to say it's a great pop song. 7/10

No ruffled Vegas sentiment - all black comic melodrama - which is what the song demands.
