5. Catch
6. Just Like Heaven
7. From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea
8. How Beautiful You Are
9. Baby Screams
10. Pictures Of You _________________ on such a winter's day
Excellent indeed
2. Faith check out the cassette version, has the awesome Carnage Visors on it. Apparently it was recorded by Smith alone and assistant pouring wine into his mouth regularly.
3. Standing On a Beach - The Singles The Cure were an excellent singles band up to, say, '92
Very good
4. Boys Don't Cry
5. Three Imaginary Boys playing one in front of the other because singles.
6. Concert mostly for the cassette version with 'Curiosity'
7. Disintegration yes it's very good, but it's not the best Cure album.
8. Entreat 'Disintegration' sounds better live than on LP. Proof here.
Good
9. The Head on the Door
10. Pornography I'm probably being harsh.
11. The Top even if I'll rank it only at #11, I feel The Top is the most underestimated Cure LP. This is good.
OK I guess
12. Wish two good songs
13. Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me a lot of good songs, a lot of meh
14. The Cure average album but "Lost", top 10 Cure song, like 'Disintegration' the song but better.
15. Japanese Whispers Like Standing On a Beach minus the best singles. Still has "The Walk" and "The Lovecats".
Below average
16. Bloodflowers one awesome song
Baddest ever
17. Wild Mood Swings no redeeming qualities, a whole blob of mehness.
Been listening to The Cure since '83 yo, who beats me. Haven't listened to 4:13 Dream though any good?

no. I still find it enjoyable at times though especially the the A side, but you've heard it all way better before.
Anyways, Great rankings, Norman! The only thing I'd add as the real Cure aficionado on the site (just kidding, there's plenty of Robert for both us), is the wonderful B-sides that were included on cassette editions of Standing on The Beach (at least stateside)...
Side two - The b-sides[edit]
"I'm Cold" (Smith, Tolhurst, Dempsey) – 2:47 (from "Jumping Someone Else's Train")
"Another Journey By Train" (Smith, Gallup, Tolhurst, Hartley) – 3:04 (from "A Forest")
"Descent" (Smith, Gallup, Tolhurst) – 3:07 (from "Primary")
"Splintered in Her Head" (Smith, Gallup, Tolhurst) – 5:16 (from "Charlotte Sometimes")
"Mr Pink Eyes" (Smith, Tolhurst) – 2:42 (from "The Love Cats")
"Happy the Man" (Smith) – 2:45 (from "The Caterpillar")
"Throw Your Foot" (Smith) – 3:33 (from "The Caterpillar")
"The Exploding Boy" (Smith) – 2:52 (from "In Between Days")
"A Few Hours After This" (Smith) – 2:26 (from "In Between Days")
"A Man Inside My Mouth" (Smith) – 3:05 (from "Close to Me"/"Half an Octopuss")
"Stop Dead" (Smith) – 4:02 (from "In Between Days"/"Close to Me"/"Half an Octopuss")
"New Day" (Smith, Tolhurst) – 4:08 (from "Half an Octopuss")
Glorious stuff well worth checking out if you have a Cure fixation and certainly better than anything they did in the 90s & beyond. You can conveniently find them now on this ...
Again, its far more interesting than any of their 90s stuff. Wish was honestly a massive disappointment for me when it came out, but Robert & I have kissed & made up since. 🤣
And yeah, The Top rules, y'all! I listen to it it much more than Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me which hasn't aged that well I'm afraid.

Been listening to The Cure since '83 yo, who beats me.
I can, by three years. Back in 1980 as a young kid at school I fell in love with a song called A Forest that I heard on BBC Radio 1. Thirty five years later that song is still one of my 10 all time favourite tracks.
If I live til I'm 80, I'll still be a Cure fan for sure! 🤣
