    Good vid, pretty good ranking which I agree with about 80%. I'm probably twice your age and I have followed the Cure for many decades with a personal old connection with Robert and the band going back to the mid 80's. There were more than one very drunken all nighters back in our 20's. Good job.

    "The Top" 10
    1. THE HEAD ON THE DOOR
    2. THE WALK ep ( or Japanese Whispers... technically a comp, but a comp of what? Right, some of the best tracks of The Cure! "Upstairs Room," "The Walk," "Just One Kiss," "Lament," "The Dream"!) "The Walk" was a new LP, upon release in '83!
    3. SEVENTEEN SECONDS / FAITH (because I just can't truly separate them, although I slightly prefer 0:17, they come off as a great double LP - Happily Ever After)
    4. DISINTEGRATION
    5. PORNOGRAPHY
    6. BOYS DON'T CRY (which is the MUCH improved updated version of TIB on Elektra U.S.)
    7. THE TOP
    8. WISH

    10. SONGS OF A LOST WORLD

    15 Wild mood swings 1.5
    My first The Cure album was Standing on a beach, first listened to (library) was Disintegration after hearing Lullaby on the radio (I also liked the video which was on heavy rotation on MTV).
    I recorded Boys don't cry and Seventeen seconds on cassette, probably still my most played Cure albums🎧.
    The last Cure album I bought was the excellent 2005 Faith deluxe 2cd reissue.
    Some later albums I had not heard before.
    Both 4:13 and The Cure S/T are better than I had expected. Don't really like the new one. I think it drags a bit (as does Bloodflowers) although I do like Warsong and Drone no drone (Reeves!). Overall great discograpy, singles, b-sides almost all very good. One of the best bands ever, probably in my top twenty.

    I REALLY loved The Cure in the '80s, but honestly had enough by the' 90s (loathed The Top and Wish). Too early to compare the new one, but my top 5 are:
    1 Pornography
    2 Faith
    3 Seventeen Seconds
    4 Three Imaginary Boys
    5 Disintegration.

    @Silkyfur Місяць тому +1

    This was such a good ranking video! I instantly subscribed.
    It's rare I see someone rank the albums of The Cure in a similar way as myself.
    I discovered The Cure at the age of 14, in 1991, just around the time when a big teenage depression grabbed hold of me for a couple of years. Two albums in particular, Disintegration and Faith, helped me through the depression since they both serve as highly cathartic experiences when listening from beginning to end.
    If I would have been allowed to, I would have put the Mini-LP The Walk on third place in my ranking. I find songs like Just One Kiss, The Upstairs Room and Lament to be absolutely underrated gems.
    I have ordered Songs of a Lost World and waiting eagerly to receive it in the mail. Of the songs I have heard from it so far, I believe I will find it their best album since the end of their classic era.
    But here is my top 7 as it stands today:
    7. Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
    6. Wish
    5. The Head on the Door
    4. Pornography
    3. 17 Seconds
    2. Faith
    1. Disintegration
    Thank you for a wonderful video!

    Agreed that The Top is underrated -- a cool psych album. I think Wish is way overrated, and Wild Mood Swings underrated. I ignored the latter for a long time because I disliked Wish so much, but was shocked by how good it is. I rated the American version of the debut, with the essential singles. In 1989 Disintegration just did not speak to me at all. I thought it was incredibly lame actually, but it's grown on me gradually over the years.

      More on 1989 -- I was 19, and you know what impossible expectations we all had at that age. I was more into Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Bad Brains, Death, Voivod, Slayer, etc. that year. Kiss Me x3 was a big soundtrack of the summer between hs and college, though some of the tracks were a bit of a slog for me. But the state of my teenage brain probably has a lot to do with why I'll always rate it over Disintegration, and why their goth trilogy was such a revelation that has never stopped being rewarding. A chancy move putting the new one at #4 I know, and hindsight may change things, but for now I do think it's more consistent and heavier and more rewarding than Head on the Door and the others.

    • @deadendstreetchannel
      @deadendstreetchannel  Місяць тому

      I'll always have the trilogy (80-82) in high regard. If I had rated Boys Don't Cry instead of TIB... it would have been higher... not much... but higher.

    Head on the door has Push which to me is one of their best ever rockers. It takes the long instrumental introductions that are great with many of their slower songs into warp speed rock!!! And when that lyric part hits. It takes things stratospherically over the top! For that song alone head on the door is in my top 10 and possibly top 5 cure records.
