1. The Cure, “Hot Hot Hot.” Robert Smith gets just about as funky as his dreary Gothic self will allow in this classic from 1987′s Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me. When glorious tracks like this one from the days when I could chew on my bangs reassert themselves on the iPod, I have to ask why Smith cannot seem to make a record now that is more fun than your average traffic ticket. Nobody wants their favorite bands to break up, but there’s always a worse alternative.
