I don't know enough about The Cure to know which songs were actually hits, but I am enough of a Cure fan to know which songs were the really good ones and Greatest Hits doesn't have half of what Galore did. Although this cd has plenty of great songs the real treat is the limited edition bonus disc. On this special gift from The Cure you can hear acoustic renditions of all the albums regular tracks. The key word here is limited, so if you're a fan make sure you get your hands on this one right away or you'll miss out on the best thing about this Greatest Hits collection. As you would probably imagine Greatest Hits contains many of their classics that span their nearly two decade career-- "Boys Don't Cry," "Love Cats," "Just Like Heaven," "In Between Days," "Friday I'm in Love," just to name a few. I am a bit disappointed that nothing off of Bloodflowers made it on the album, but there's enough here to please any fan. It may not be the cure for your ills but it's a pretty good sedative.
