For this particular poll, I've decided to go with the Billboard format as opposed to R&R because they've only had four hits chart R&R:

Friday I'm In Love (Peaked at #4)
Love Song (Peaked at #7)
High (Peaked at #22)
Just Like Heaven (Peaked at #30)

So, without further to do, these are the eight best-performing Billboard Hot 100 singles of The Cure:

Love Song (Peaked at #2)
Friday I'm In Love (Peaked at #18)
Just Like Heaven (Peaked at #40)
High (Peaked at #42)
The 13th (Peaked at #44)
Fascination Street (Peaked at #46)
Why Can't I Be You? (Peaked at #54)
Mint Car (Peaked at #58)

Other Cure Single Peaks:

Hot Hot Hot!!! (Peaked at #65)
Pictures Of You (Peaked at #71)
Never Enough (Peaked at #72)
Lullaby (Peaked at #74)
Close To Me (Peaked at #97)
Inbetween Days (Peaked at #99)

Phase II will later include songs that were fan-favorites that made their Greatest Hits collection that didn't chart Billboard.

Sincerely,

Ah, the cure. what a great band. Early favorites of mine are Boys Don't Cry, Love Cats, The Caterpillar, In Between Days etc. Pictures of You and Never Enough are great songs as well.

From this list I had to go with Why Can't I Be You.

I don't think anyone can create a better love song than this one. "Friday I'm In Love" and "Just Like Heaven" are excellent songs as well.

I like "Fascination Street" the best out of these. I like "Why Can't I Be You" second most, though.

Of those. My second favorite Cure song is "Never Enough". It was a #1 on a rock chart, yet didn't make it to the poll. What crap is that?

Sadly, I can't remember what any of their pre-'89 singles sound like, except for "The Hanging Garden," but that's just because AFI do a cover of it. Oh well...

01. High
02. Friday I'm in Love
03. Just Like Heaven
04. Lovesong
05. Mint Car
06. Why Can't I Be You
07. A Letter to Elise
08. Maybe Someday
09. Fascination Street
10. The 13th

...But I didn't put my hair in a ponytail for nothing, so if I'm going home alone tonight, I ain't goin' at all.
