History YMMV / TheAssociates

** While not Associates songs, "Cut Here" by Music/TheCure and "Say", by The Creatures, a Music/SiouxsieAndTheBanshees side project both are about Billy's death, as he was a friend of both Robert Smith and Siouxsie, and are both pretty heartbreaking, "Cut Here" especially.

* {{Narm}}: And how!
** NarmCharm: But you can't deny that Billy's vocals are unique and outstanding.

* HarsherInHindsight: Coupled with a heavy dose of TearJerker. On ''Sulk'', there is a cover of "Gloomy Sunday", a famous and oft-covered song from the 1930s composed by the Hungarian pianist Rezso Seress, done most famously by Music/BillieHolliday in 1941. It's also infamously known as the "Hungarian Suicide Song", due to an urban legend that it was responsible for a spate of suicides in Hungary in the 1930s after it was released. [[note]] However, while there was a spike in suicides in Hungary at the time, these suicides were more likely caused by the famine and poverty affecting the country during that period.
