1	Disintegration (1989) more music like this by The Cure Expanding the latent arena rock sensibilities that peppered Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me by slowing them down and stretching them to the breaking point, the Cure reached the peak of their popularity with the crawling, darkly seductive Disintegration. It's a hypnotic, mesmerizing record, comprised almost entirely of epics like the soaring, icy ... see all copies from £3.92! new only from £10.54!
2	Greatest Hits (2001) more music like this by The Cure The Cure were never afraid of artistically defining themselves. They had their own sound, an eerie glamour surrounding a dark whimsicality, yet fans flocked to them throughout the '80s and '90s. Commercial or cult favorites, they're impressive as being one of the '80s' seminal bands who culled more than 30 critical singles. Compilations like 1986 ... see all copies from £4.78! new only from £5.07!
3	Wish (1992) more music like this by The Cure On the surface, Wish sounds happier than Disintegration, and the sunny British Invasion hooks of the hit single "Friday I'm in Love" certainly seem to indicate that the record is a brighter affair than its predecessor. Dig a little deeper and the album reveals itself to be just as tortured, and perhaps more despairing. Granted, the sound of the ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £8.85!
4	Pornography [Deluxe Edition] (2005) more music like this by The Cure "First time available on CD" is often a way of putting a spin on words like "scraps" or "rubbish." This is the case with the second disc of Rhino's Pornography reissue. Like all the deluxe editions of the Cure's back catalog, the album is packaged with a spectacular layout containing plenty of photos and biographical liner notes, but the decision ... see all copies from £9.91! new only from £13.74!
5	Seventeen Seconds [Deluxe Edition] (2005) more music like this by The Cure Approximately five months after Rhino released the two-disc reissue of Three Imaginary Boys, the label gave Cure albums two through four -- 1980's Seventeen Seconds, 1981's Faith, 1982's Pornography -- similar treatment, with scads of photos, biographical liner notes, and archive ransackings all part of the design. The initial bare-bones CD issues ... see all copies from £12.08! new only from £13.75!
6	Boys Don't Cry (1980) more music like this by The Cure Falling somewhere between official release and compilation, Boys Don't Cry was released in February 1980 in hopes to get the band exposure outside of the U.K.. It captures the first phase of the band well, showcasing the angular new wave that had garnered them acclaim in England. What separates this from the debut full-length (and thus qualifying ... see all copies from £2.74! new only from £17.34!
7	Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me [Original CD] (1990) more music like this by The Cure Simultaneously more accessible and ambitious than any of the Cure's previous albums, the double album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me finds Robert Smith expanding his pop vocabulary by tentatively adding bigger guitars, the occasional horn section, lite-funk rhythms, and string sections. It's eclectic, to be sure, but it's also a mess, bouncing from ... see all copies from £3.41! new only from £18.50!
8	Staring at the Sea: The Singles (1986) more music like this by The Cure Staring at the Sea: The Singles collects all of the Cure's biggest U.K. hits and best-known songs from the late '70s and early '80s. Spanning from "Killing an Arab" and "Boys Don't Cry," to "The Lovecats," "In Between Days," and "Close to Me," Staring at the Sea captures some of the finest -- and most influential -- post-punk music. At their best, ... see all copies from £7.48!
9	The Head on the Door (1985) more music like this by The Cure After recording one of their darkest albums, 1983's The Top, the Cure regrouped and shuffled their lineup in 1984 and ended up changing their musical direction rather radically. While the band always had a pop element in their sound and even recorded one of the lightest songs of the '80s, "The Lovecats," The Head on the Door is where they become a ... see all copies from £4.09! new only from £6.83!
10	Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix (1993) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £2.73! new only from £4.10!
11 view cover	Wild Mood Swings (1996) more music like this by The Cure After the relatively straightforward pop of Wish, the Cure moved back toward stranger, edgier territory with Wild Mood Swings. Actually, that's only part of the truth. As the title suggests, there's a vast array of textures and emotions on Wild Mood Swings, from the woozy mariachi lounge horns of "The 13th" to the perfect pop of "Mint Car" and the ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £8.20!
12 view cover	Seventeen Seconds (1980) more music like this by The Cure It's hard to believe that the Cure could release an album even more sparse than Three Imaginary Boys, but here's the proof. The lineup change that saw funkstery bassist Michael Dempsey squeezed out in favor of the more specific playing of (eventually the longest serving member outside Robert Smith) Simon Gallup, and the addition of keyboardist ... see all copies from £5.46! new only from £9.47!
13 view cover	The Cure (2004) more music like this by The Cure For a long time, maybe 15 years or so, Robert Smith rumbled about the Cure's imminent retirement whenever the band had a new album ready for release. Invariably, Smith said the particular album served as a fitting epitaph, and it was now time for him to bring the Cure to an end and pursue something else, maybe a solo career, maybe a new band, ... see all copies from £3.38! new only from £6.71!
14 view cover	The Top (1984) more music like this by The Cure Recorded in the midst of Robert Smith's tenuous tenure with Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Top is arguably the most hedonistic record the Cure ever produced. Essentially Smith and Lol Tolhurst working with studio musicians (this being the period when the Cure's lineup was never assured), it's an album obviously recorded under stress, drink, and ... see all copies from £6.83! new only from £9.47!
15 view cover	Show (1993) more music like this by The Cure Concentrating on their recent, pop-oriented material, Show is a good, if unspectacular, representation of the Cure in concert. Only devoted fans need to own this album. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from £2.73! new only from £7.73!
16 view cover	Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987) more music like this by The Cure Simultaneously more accessible and ambitious than any of the Cure's previous albums, the double album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me finds Robert Smith expanding his pop vocabulary by tentatively adding bigger guitars, the occasional horn section, lite-funk rhythms, and string sections. It's eclectic, to be sure, but it's also a mess, bouncing from ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £6.68!
17 view cover	Three Imaginary Boys (1979) more music like this by The Cure Maybe it was youthful exuberance or perhaps it was the fact that the band itself was not pulling all the strings, Three Imaginary Boys is not only a very strong debut, but a near oddity (it's an admittedly "catchy" record) in the Cure catalog. More poppy and representative of the times than any other album during their long career, Three Imaginary ... see all copies from £7.14! new only from £7.14!
18 view cover	Pornography (1982) more music like this by The Cure Later hailed as one of the key goth rock albums of the '80s and considered by many hardcore Cure fans to be the band's best album, Pornography was largely dismissed upon its 1982 release, witheringly reviewed as a leaden slab of whining and moping. The truth, as usual, is somewhere in between: Pornography is much better than most mainstream ... see all copies from £7.14! new only from £8.72!
19 view cover	Faith (1981) more music like this by The Cure Certainly not the "darkest" the Cure would eventually get, Faith is, as represented by the cover art, one of the most "gray" records out there. Melancholy and despondent (the feel of funerals and old churches just oozes from this record) without the anger that would over take Pornography, Faith comes off as not just a collection of songs, but as a ... see all copies from £5.46! new only from £8.72!
20 view cover	Mixed Up (1990) more music like this by The Cure An assortment of remixes, re-recordings, old singles, and one new song ("Never Enough"). Most of the remixes are quite radical, leaving only the bare bones of the original song. There are enough oddities and rare tracks on Mixed Up to make it necessary for Cure fans, but it's too specialized for casual listeners. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All ... see all copies from £1.51! new only from £13.62!
21 view cover	Love Song [CD/Vinyl Single] [Elektra] (1991) more music like this by The Cure Disintegration's biggest pop hit, "Love Song" itself, was written for Robert Smith's wife Mary as a wedding gift; while the low-key arrangement may not seem immediately suited for a number about romance, its sweet little feel and Smith's quietly passionate delivery make it a thorough Cure winner. The band's own remix of the track follows the usual ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £4.75!
22 view cover	Japanese Whispers (1984) more music like this by The Cure After the fallout both psychologically and physically of Pornography, it looked unlikely that anyone would hear from the Cure ever again. Surprisingly, from 1982-1983 Robert Smith and (now keyboardist) Lol Tolhurst put out some of the catchiest singles of their career. "Let's Go to Bed," "The Walk," and "The Lovecats" were not only singles that ... see all copies from £8.19! new only from £8.92!
23 view cover	Paris (1993) more music like this by The Cure Show featured mostly hit singles; Paris features the songs that built their cult, including "Close to Me" and "Letter to Elise." Consequently, most fans will find this the more interesting of the two live albums, and, out of the two records, it is the more consistent and satisfying. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.41! new only from £5.64!
24 view cover	Bloodflowers (2000) more music like this by The Cure The Cure edged into new territory with Wild Mood Swings, but nevertheless drew scorn from certain quarters because it eschewed goth rock for pop, both pure and twisted. For 2000's Bloodflowers, Robert Smith decided to give the people what they wanted: a classic Cure album, billed as the third part of a trilogy begun with Pornography and continued ... see all copies from £4.30! new only from £8.86!
25 view cover	Fascination Street (1989) more music like this by The Cure The lead single in America from Disintegration, "Fascination Street" is a compelling example of the Cure at its considerable best. The single mix shortens the album cut without reducing its roiling dark power, thanks to Gallup's impressive bass work and Smith's increasingly nervous, edgy delivery. As was then the common case with the Cure, a band ... see all copies from £3.07! new only from £4.78!
