The greatest Cure song cannot be a sappy titled (or is that entitled, Rubbeet?) piece of crap like 23. How Beautiful You Are

A Forest is ok. Classic Cure song.

But i'd be very happy with A Night Like This.

So, why wasn't "Just Like Heaven" even a candidate to be the greatest Cure song? Sure, it's an easy target, because it was probably their biggest hit in the US, but it seems to me that folks should have had to opportunity to knock it down.

I thought I covered that in the instructions. [:D]

Actually, though, I just missed it. It's certainly better than Hot Hot Hot!!!
