[edit] Curve and Garbage

I've heard through various discussion boards accusations from critics about the band Garbage largely copying from Curve's music style. I don't know if this should be included in the article.


I think the article puts it excellently. Garbage were never, ever as dark as Curve. There's an almost industrial edge to some of Curve's best music, where Garbage are more of a rock band. Butch Vig may well have nicked some ideas (or been influenced by) Curve, but Garbage were always aimed much more at the pop mainstream than Curve ever were.

Personally I think Garbage are a pale imitation of Curve, sanitised for the masses, and Curve never got the recognition that they should have had. I suspect that's not a Neutral Point of View though. :) Depeche Mode proved that a dark, electronic sound can sell records, but for whatever reason, Curve never reached that level of success.

[edit] My changes

If anyone objects to anything I'm doing (in terms of style) with Curve stuff at the moment, do say. (Obviously if something is 'wrong' – like genres for some of the albums – then feel free to fix yourself). Zetetic Apparatchik 23:07, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

(Suggested new discography layout, at least for albums.)
