The Cure are a rock group associated with Robert Smith's distinctive singing and a balance of melancholy atmosphere and accessible melodies. Their guitar-driven post-punk beginnings developed into more layered arrangements during the 1980s and 1990s. Songs such as Boys Don't Cry, Let's Go to Bed and The Love Cats show different sides of that range. Albums including The Head on the Door and Wish connect the band's darker textures with concise pop songwriting, while Smith's theatrical presentation became part of its identity.
