The Cure.
Robert Smith may not have the most amazing singing voice in the world, but they have produced consistently excellent (sometimes very strange) stuff since the 70's.

I'd just as soon watch these as I track them down as watch TV. This is incrementally more engaging, so I'll carry on. I hope some of you watch these...

I always found Robert Smith's voice slightly too much, but Lovecats appeared as a music video when I was... ?? ... 14? The cute part was that this was cutting edge music for a generation of goth chicks. It seems rather tame now.

That was some of The Cure's more light hearted stuff!

I think my parents must have dragged me to 3 or 4 Rolf concerts way back when... Early 70s...
