Siouxsie and the Banshees - Hyaena.
Best album Robert Smith ever did.

No.. just kidding. Pornography probably.

Mojo? The Cure ruined their mojo by having pop hits. If you are going for dark juju mojo, but a copy of In The Flat Field by Bauhaus. Not only is it a more edgy choice musically (less popular/well known is always cooler, right?), but the cover is black and it’s got a naked dude on it, so you’ll get extra points for that.

Ha!! Yeah!!

If this had been made into a record sleeve, and wasn't such an old joke, it'd be perfect here...

I like Pornography. I think it's the darkest, scariest record of theirs. They must have been doing lots of drugs in those days. Excellent record!

I like all of them, but Faith is my favorite. Followed by Disintegration / The Head On The Door / Kiss Me / The Too / Seventeen Seconds / Wish. I don't love Pornography but I like it.

I typed out The Too but I meant The Top. I like that one!

I was going to recommend that one. So crazy and intense album, kind of underrated in my opinion.

Ah, missed that. Skimming the thread it seemed to be the only one of their early period albums that wasn't being name-checked. I wouldn't say it's my favourite, but there is some manic intensity on there that I really do love.

Faith, Pornography and Wish. The new tracks from the recent Euro tour seem promising.

I can tell you this performance has a lot of mojo specially around 5:11 with the chord change.

I’m having a party next week & looking to spice up my cd rack
That underlined part should've been the dead giveaway...

this thread is certified OSG lore now, like Nolan's produce section performance, TONZ graphics, and "needs tort"
