Solo discography

For more than two decades, Robert Smith has been hinting at a solo album which has never materialized. It is often believed that most of his solo writing end up in The Cure, with such closer tracks as "Homesick", "Untitled", "Treasure", "Bare", "Going Nowhere", but Smith denied this, crediting those songs to other members:

: " I didn't write "Homesick" and I didn't write the music too. It's another misconception. Out of the 12 songs on the CD, I think I only wrote six musically... "Untitled"... (to Simon ) You wrote that one ? ...It was Roger . So it couldn't have been a solo album and if I'd done on my own it wouldn't have sounded anything like The Cure anyway apart from my own voice. The Top album could have been a solo album but it's not true the way we worked in studio " – Robert Smith in a 1989 interview http://imaginaryboys.altervista.org/english/cure/articles/tib_holyhour.htm
