You forgot Three imaginary boys.
What's wrong with pop music ? (that being said, I can do without The head... and Kiss me)
3 imaginary boys et al., though fine tunes in my book, sound a little dated and definable to a specific time.this IMO means that they are "pop".
the mighty *ahem*goth trilogy of seventeen seconds pornography and faith are timeless, being definable to a style rather than a period. (you really do bite don't you?
)
Funny, but when I listen to Vivaldi, it sounds like an unmistakeable product of baroque-period Italy. Quite why we won't be able to say something similar about Pornography in 500 years, I don't know. Is everything pop, in the long term?

Allow me one comment though : they're quite okay indeed, but they're also very high on guitars and very low on synths. So was the Wish sound. Sometimes they're just to Neil Young-ish (not the acoustic one, of course) for my taste : Gretsch geetars + lots of distorsion. It's not that I don't like Neil Young, it's just that it's not the best version of 100 years or Charlotte sometimes that there is.

Fair point well made, but i likes me heavy guitar Cure very much, you've nailed that Wish sound, as i'm also a huge Neil Young fan ~ although yes 100 years is much better on the Trilogy live DVD set.
We must exchange thoughts once again after i've seen the Sisters 2006 ~ have been reading varied responses to their guitar boys during this tour!

Out of the blue and into the black indeed.
The only thing that keeps me from being a Neil Young fan is the high-pitched voice. I do know its is regarded by many fans as one of his strengths, but I still think it doesn't go very well with the heavy rock & roll and lumberjack looks. I just find it weird.
