Which brings us to perhaps the most controversial song in The Cure's catalogue, Friday I'm In Love. Factually speaking, this is pretty close to a perfect pop song, which is why there were six months in the early 90's when you couldn't escape it on the radio. Unfortunately this popularity was a double-edged sword, causing many hardcore fans of the band to declare that The Cure had sold out. Musically the jangly guitar and Smith's catchy lyric structure really stand out.
