9) Boys Don't Cry (1980)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys_Don%27t_Cry_(The_Cure_album)

The truth is that Boys Don't Cry isn't a real album so much as a compilation of The Cure's early pre-album debut singles and most of the best tracks off the band's 1st album, Three Imaginary Boys from 1979. So why am I featuring it here? For starters, the Cure's debut album was only released in the UK; Boys Don't Cry was the US release. Additionally the record label picked which tracks would go on it over Robert Smith's furious objections.
