Robert Smith picks his favorite songs:

Faith: I don't think I'll ever write a song that'll ever move me as much as Faith, that'll change my life as much as that song did, or encapsulates a period of my life as well as that one does.

End: It achieves everything I wanted it to.

Just Like Heaven: The best pop song the Cure has ever done. All the sounds meshed, it was one take, and it was perfect. I love Dinosaur Jr.'s version of the song, and they've influenced how we play it.

Boy's Don't Cry: Because it reminds me of being very young.

Forest: The archetypal Cure sound, it was probably the turning point when people started listening to the group and thinking we could achieve something, including me.
