[89]O'Kane, Josh (18 September 2008). "Talking Bloc during Harvest Jazz" (http://herenb.canadaeast.com/music/article/418500). [Here] New Brunswick. . Retrieved 8 July 2012. "With the new record, he said he was inspired by a song written years ago by Siouxsie and the Banshees called Peek-a-Boo. 'I heard it for the first time, and it sounded like nothing else on this planet. This is just a pop song that they put
out in the middle of their career that nobody knows about, but to me it sounded like the most current but most futuristic bit of guitar-pop music I've heard. I thought, that'd be cool, to make music that people might not get at the time, but in ten years' time, people would revisit it.""
[90]Neyland, Nick (28 March 2011). "The Weeknd's House Of Balloons" (http://www.pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/
12148-house-of-balloons). Pitchfork. . Retrieved 8 July 2012. "So here on the title track from that mixtape, we get a more-than-generous portion of Siouxsie and the Banshees' 1980 single "Happy House." which is worked into a softly anthemic slow-burn number full of diva-ish vocals tied to a chilly beat. John McGeoch's riff remains untouched and runs throughout most of the track, giving it a filmy pop feel that periodically peaks with a generous swipe from the "Happy House" chorus"

The discography of The Cure, an English rock band, consists of thirteen studio albums, five live albums, ten compilation albums, ten extended plays and thirty-seven singles released on Fiction Records and Geffen Records. They have also released ten video albums and forty-three music videos.
Originally formed as Malice in January 1976, the band underwent several line-up changes and a name change to Easy Cure before settling on their current name, The Cure, in May 1978.[1] The Cure's original line-up consisted of Robert Smith (vocals, guitars), Laurence "Lol" Tolhurst (drums) and Michael Dempsey (bass guitar). The band has continued through various line-ups; Smith is the group's only remaining original member. The line-up of the band for their most recent album, 4:13 Dream (2008), is Smith, Porl Thompson (guitar), Simon Gallup (bass guitar) and Jason Cooper (drums).
The Cure's debut album, Three Imaginary Boys (1979), reached number forty-four on the UK Albums Chart.[2] The next two albums, Seventeen Seconds (1980) and Faith (1981), were Top 20 hits in the UK, reaching number twenty
and number fourteen respectively.[2] Between 1982 and 1996, The Cure released seven studio albums, all of which reached the Top 10 in the UK.[2] The most successful of these was Wish (1992) which reached number one in the UK and number two on the US Billboard 200.[2][3] The last three studio albums—Bloodflowers (2000), The Cure (2004)
and 4:13 Dream—have had mixed success, reaching numbers fourteen, eight and thirty-three in the UK respectively.[2][4]
