The only Cure album I knew growing up was Disintegration.  I recently discovered Pornography and it's awesome. (lol @ that sentence).

Bit of a punky sneer on the last one.

I have a soft spot for the Cure...loved how they changed from being so morbid e.g. Faith, Pornography......then got happy again e.g. Head on The Door and some of Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. It's amazing what drugs can do!

1. Head on the Door
2. Faith
3. Pornography
4. Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me

half the head on the door, half kiss me, 2/3 of the top, 2/3 of the wish, then the whole dark trilogy (seventeen seconds, faith and Pornography).
Pornography is their darkest work, hence their best.
you might be interested in the project the glove, a collaboration between Siouxsie and Banshees' Steven Severin and The Cure's Robert Smith.

Pornography is essential.

On japanese whispers there is one song that I love a lot and that belongs to my favourite of theirs, "lament". Very haunting atmosphere.

Of the ones i've heard, this is probably my list:
 
  1. Pornography
  2. Faith / Disintegration
  3. Seventeen Seconds
  4. Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me

All good albums, though!

But i'm very new to them (only about 3 weeks), so my list will change!
