Hmmmm, that's a little unusual (not to say it's impossible). I thought the "trademark" song for people who have only scratched the very surface of The Cure's catalogue is usually Friday I'm In Love or Just Like Heaven or Lovesong...

Well, this usually comes from those that only know a handful. Lovecats seems to be the go-to song in most conversations.

Agreed. They put on one hell of show.

Hell yes, when I saw them in February, they played that as their last song. By then most people had left, yet that song brought a ton of people back in. I don't even think it's their best song.

I would figure if somebody knows nothing about REM they would know Losing My Religion before Everybody Hurts.

This. I have literally never heard Everybody Hurts on the radio (and frankly had never even heard of it until I listened to the album).

Here Comes Your Man is great though. That is definitely one of the Pixies' best songs.

I think 82-92 was their best era

What is your favourite R.E.M. era?

Funny you should mention Here Comes Your Man because I'm listening to it right now.
With Radiohead, I think Creep is more overplayed because the fan demanded it at concerts too much, which is the reason they wrote My Iron Lung.

I've actually never heard Creep on the radio, yet I've heard High and Dry countless times.
