Round 1-5:

Doubt (Faith, 1981)
Pictures of You (Disintegration, 1989)
The Kiss (Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, 1987)
Numb (Wild Mood Swings, 1996)

[Anders]

Doubt (Faith, 1981) - don't like this
Pictures of You (Disintegration, 1989) - this is wonderful
The Kiss (Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, 1987) - very noisy
Numb (Wild Mood Swings, 1996) - interesting, but no winner

Pictures Of You with a runaway win here.

[Jorge]

Yeah "Pictures of You" takes it

[Higgs]

I actually really like Numb, but can't vote against Pictures of You. Great song.

[Jammer XCI]

Really easy vote for Pictures.

[LetMeSleep]

I actually really like Numb, but can't vote against Pictures of You. Great song.

I concur.

Pictures of You.

Although it kinda hurts not to vote for The Kiss. It sets up the sublime mess of KM, KM, KM perfectly.

[chewm]

Pictures of You is my favorite Cure song.

[Birds in Hell]

I never wanted any of this!
I wish you were dead!

The Kiss.

I can only imagine how powerful it must have been to see these guys in 1987 and hear Boris and Simon bang out that intro.

[evenslow]

Obvious choice but Pictures of You is The Cure at their best - so evocative.
