The Cure - "Boys Don't Cry" | 2019 Induction

[@aybxss]

I love how his voice has not changed it’s very rare you find singers from the 80s who still can sing like they used to

[@danc3693]

Mochi Boi True but face it - at least the songs of theirs I am familiar with do not require what one might consider a very broad vocal range so that has to help. Now Steve Perry at 70 singing Journey songs? Don’t think so as he doesn’t hit the high notes like he did at 30.

[@KingChaos777]

And also because 80's artists and bands singers are pure talent

[@jackkitchen154]

Morrissey too

[@mrbowlingcrazy]

well the tons of reverb and delay on his mic certainly helps his cause

[@michaelzamora8056]

@@danc3693 true what he's doing isn't very technically difficult. However it also takes work to maintain a voice for that long, even for what he's doing, so I gotta respect that

[@xTheFly]

Seriously? How? They look like they've aged but if you close your eyes and listen, this is the Cure in the 80's! This defies science! I love it!
