EDIT: Looking back, I said I didn't favor The Cure too much, probably with how I went about listening to them. Maybe I was introduced to them incorrectly.
The Head on the door album is the one to get. It covers a lot of their styles and does so brilliantly. The pop songs are catchy, the slow morbd one is the slowest and most morbid but tuneful one they did like that, it's got a corking pacey rocker, a silly one and some exquisite weird ones that hover inbetween the poppy stuff and the morbid stuff. It's a wonderful album. I can't praise it higly enough.
