Yes, I rather like "Wish", minus "Friday I'm In Love". I think I could never hear that song for the rest of my life and it wouldn't bother me a bit. "High" was a great single, and "From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea" is fucking EPIC.
Sadly, I've bought everything The Cure has done after "Wish", (except for the new "Greatest Hits" compilation) and the only thing I listen to somewhat regularly is the "Paris" live record. There's some great versions of some old "Pornography"-era tracks on there ("Figurehead", "One Hundred Years", etc).
As for New Order, sure they disappeared after "Republic", but isn't that better than putting out two or three crap albums like The Cure did? And at least we got some decent stuff from Electronic (specifically "Twisted Tenderness") and the first Monaco album isn't that bad.
Speaking of Electronic, this is just a shot in the dark, but does anyone know what happened to the Johnny Marr & The Healers album that was supposed to come out last year or something? I heard the opened for Oasis a long time ago and there was an album in the works, but then nothing.
