01 The Cure - Pornography
I didn't like the Cure at all when I forst heard them mid 80s and it took years before I got into them. But after that this album became a favourite soon, in my alltime top 20 album list.

Kim Carnes' followup to her #1 "Mistaken Identity" was an infamous flop, only reaching #49, but "Voyeur" is a synth-pop treasure, with "Voyeur" (#29), "Does It Make You Remember" (#36) and "Looker" standouts.
