Fans absolutely crushed the iconic clues — 'Love Song,' 'Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me,' and Robert Smith were all answered correctly by nearly everyone — yet the 10-minute epic 'The Kiss' tripped up 35% of players, revealing a real blind spot for The Cure's deeper album cuts.
When it came to The Cure's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction by Trent Reznor in 2019, a surprising 24% of fans wrongly handed that honor to The Smiths — proof that even legendary milestones can get lost in the fog of alt-rock history.
