10) Seventeen Seconds (1980)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventeen_Seconds

The band's second studio album, Seventeen Seconds occupies a strange place in my heart because it's almost a 50/50 mix of stripped down but sometimes forgettable music and ridiculously inventive bangers. Musically this record finds The Cure straddling bridges between multiple musical styles with post-punk tones, new wave influences, and the beginnings of what would (for a time) become The Cure's signature "gothic pop" sound in short order.
