Brian Oake saw The Cure last night at the Xcel and loved every second of it.

Of the band's appearance, he said with the utmost reverence, "Robert Smith is not backing down from the whole makeup thing. That's for damn sure."

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, let's listen to songs from bands or artists who wear heavy makeup.

Songs played

Close To Me - The Cure
Valerie feat. Amy Winehouse - Mark Ronson
Karma Chameleon - Culture Club
Coin-Operated Boy - The Dresden Dolls
Personality Crisis - New York Dolls
Detroit Rock City - Kiss
