1985 - The Head On The Door
1987 - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
1989 - Disintegration (Favorite!)
1992 - Wish
1996 - Wild Mood Swings
2000 - Bloodflowers
2004 - The Cure
2008 - 4:13 Dream

Funny history with them because I actually discovered them from watching the South Park episode Super Mecha-Streisand, basically Robert Smith guest stars as himself in it, he whoops Barbra Streisand's ass and even kicks Cartman in the balls. "Robert Smith of The Cure kicks ass", so I just had to check them out after that X). And what a great idea that was. The Cure has everything from happy pop songs to break up songs to depressive well written songs and positive motivating songs. Their name really lives up to reputation for me because I'm always in a different mood every day but no matter what mood I'm in there's always an album by them that I can connect with perfectly. Most of the time I prefer their darker albums like Disintegration, The Head On The Door, Bloodflowers, and Wish but I can also get into the corny popish albums too. Also Disintegration has got to be one of the greatest albums I've ever heard, it's just so relaxing to listen to. Depressing at times but overall a great experience by the end.

Celldweller

Genre:Experimental, Electronic, Industrial
Years Active:1999 - current
Origin: Detroit, Michigan, USA

Current Members:
Scott "Klayton" Albert (1999 - current) [Vocalist, programmer, remixer, everything under the sun]

Albums:
2003 - Celldweller
2004 - The Beta Cessions
2008 - Soundtrack For The Voices In My Head Vol.1

Celldweller - the versatile outlet of the artist, performer, producer, songwriter, programmer, and remixer Klayton - began as a producer pseudonym in the early 90’s. Now, over a decade later, Klayton (born Scott Albert) uses the name to deliver his vision of progressively combining multiple genres of music. Taking a unique approach to mixing styles, Celldweller fuses the electronics of drum & bass and techno, with rock and orchestral elements, meshing the synthetic and the organic, darkness with beauty, into a cohesive blend entirely its own.

2. David Bowie / Tin Machine
3. Keats
4. Balligomingo
5. Vitas (Russian singer)
6. The music associated with Saiyuki (both the original anime soundtracks and the extra recordings)
7. Pink Floyd
8. Journey
9. Sting / The Police
10. Tom Petty
11. Robert Plant
12. Styx

This is only the tip of the iceberg of music that I like.

[Ijexis]

Was too lazy to put them up before but it needed to be done:

Zwei


Genre: Rock/Pop

Female duo, Ayumu and Megumi. Very addictive to listen to, the second I was introduced to their song "Distance" I immediately fell in love. Ayumu's vocals are wonderful and uplifts your spirit, very inspiring. Megu's guitar-work is exceptional, her instrumental track, "My name is Megu" is a treat to listen to.

And personally, one of my favorites pics of the two:
