Below is a solid list from Robert Smith #TheCure of the songs that he most admires from the 1980s (excluding his own, of course). “Persephone” by #CocteauTwins is the most literary of the bunch. These unrelenting driving forces of the New Wave genre are not to be missed. ABC, “Look of Love” The Associates, “Tell Me It’s Easter on Friday” David Bowie, “Let’s Dance” Kate Bush, “Cloudbursting” Cocteau Twins, “Persephone” Christina, “Things Fall Apart” D.A.F., “Sex Unter Wasser”
