[kj] Youth........................

[Alexander Smith]

I'm just suggesting that calling it a "rip off" is a bit crass and  
alarmist. I doubt the Cure are particularly bothered about whether the  
track is credited to them or not.  I mean, the damn track is called  
"Glade" (i.e. an open space in a forrest). It's clearly a reference  
and/or homage to the Cure track.

This isn't a "Come As You Are"/"Eighties" sort of discrepancy at all.
