Album of the Day

KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME finds The Cure on a strong career upswing – the 1987 collection put the band in the U.S. Top 40 for the first time, and into the Top 10 in their native England and numerous other countries. Originally a double album, the set bursts with varied, adventurous arrangements, wild mood swings and frontman Robert Smith's best batch of songs to date; “Why Can't I Be You?,” “Catch,” “Hot Hot Hot!!!” and the classic “Just Like Heaven” were the singles, but there's not a dud to be heard here. Smith married Mary Poole on this day in 1988 and we'll give the Platinum-selling KISS ME, KISS ME, KISS ME another spin now to wish them a happy anniversary.
