Recommendations. Where to start, what to look for, etc.

Cheers!

I can vouch for Pornography being a pretty good release at the very least. Only just started dipping into their catalogue myself.

Disintegration is one of the greatest albums ever created. Although I'm not sure if its a great starting point.

For me, the 4 "must have" are, in order:
Disintegration (1989)
The Head on the Door (1985)
Wish (1992)
Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987)

I only own a greatest hits of their early records, and only listened occassional songs of the newer ones, but not at the same level.

1- Three Imaginary Boys (1979),
for the raw, almost punkish, new wavey side.
2- Pornography (1982),
for the unsane darkwave newly mastered sound.
3- The Head on the Door (1985),
for the pop efficiency,
4- Disintegration (1989),
for the dreamy qualities.

That's about all you need to know about The Cure. :wink:

Disintergration is so far and away their best work.

Other than that, the only album of theirs I bother with is Bloodflowers and "burn" from the crow soundtrack.

Get their Greatest Hits album, that should get you started.
