And the histogram now looks like this:
(release dates of records listed so far, grouped into five-year spans)
yer histogram puts you at exactly 6 yrs younger than me. Mine of course peaks in ’79.
don’t be hasty… that’s just the 2nd histogram. i guarantee the final one will look different :)
Just had a wonderful tour through some great old Cure videos. I’d never even thought to look on youtube for them. Thanks :).
