Could someone post the list here? I don't have itunes (I know I'm so out of touch, but I only have Windows 98 and there isn't a version for me:) and so I can't view it. Thanks.

The comment from "jennifer garner" just made me LOL, much to my embarassment.

That play list makes me wish I knew what I did with my old cocteau twins cassettes. I might have shell out for some itunes downloads. I am singing (as best as one can to the cocteau twins) lorelei in my head.

In case you need any further proof that Robert lost his way somewhere between 1989 and today, his playlist includes Blink 182.

Maybe Bob will make a workout playlist with Blink, Brit, & Kelley Clarkson next to help him shed some of that Goth pudge

Girl's Not Grey romantic? I wouldn't have thought AFI were romantic, but what do I know. Rock on, Smith.

Totally thought Fat Bob was rocking a Styx song for a minute there with "Lorelei".

I was impressed to see Tom Waits' "Heart of Saturday Night" on the list. I wonder if Fatty has ever heard Dion DiMucci's cover...

From the original News post on The Cure webpage:

MY 'TOP 21' IS GOING UP ON iTUNES...click below.
(ps I WOULD JUST LIKE EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THE FOLLOWING ARE APPARENTLY
INELIGIBLE/UNAVAILABLE.. huh!!!")

01. LED ZEPPELIN - COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN - (1969)
02. THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND - SWAMPSNAKE - (1973)
03. DAVID BOWIE - DRIVE IN SATURDAY - (1973)
04. KATE BUSH - CLOUDBUSTING - (1985)
05. DINOSAUR JNR - FREAK SCENE - (1988)
06. THE SMASHING PUMPKINS - 1979 - (1995)
07. SNEAKER PIMPS - LOW PLACE LIKE HOME - (1996)
08. NINE INCH NAILS - THE FRAGILE - (1999)
09. WHYARESOMANYGREATARTISTSMISSING? - WHO KNOWS... - (2005)

He really is a beautiful human being. Selfless, humble, and with an unapologetic plumpness that only adds to his tender humanity. Save the fat jokes for the playground, children.
