Disintegration Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me The Head on the Door Seventeen Seconds The Top Three Imaginary Boys The Cure (This is still surprisingly good. Much like DM's Playing the Angel.) Wish Faith (Really love the first half) Pornography (I have always thought this is pretty overrated by "new" Cure fans.) Bloodflowers (Feel like this should be higher.) 4:13 Dream Wild Mood Swings
Japanese Whispers is home to my two favorite Cure songs and I would probably put it at No. 3 if it counted.

I find the self-titled to be a bit boring. Most of the songs feel like they rely too much on repetition, most of the melodies are kind of flat.
Here's my ranking.
Disintegration Wish The Head on the Door Japanese Whispers Pornography The Top Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me Faith Seventeen Seconds Bloodflowers Three Imaginary Boys / Boys Don't Cry 4:13 Dream The Cure Wild Mood Swings
I'd probably rank Japanese Whispers in between The Top and KMKMKM.
I have always loved Seventeen Seconds. It's almost as dark as Faith and Pornography, but it's less dense, so it feels like less of a trudge. I have to be in a pretty specific mood for Faith and Pornography, but SS is just light enough to grab for a quick listen.
The Kiss Catch If Only Tonight... Why Can't I Be You? How Beautiful You Are Just Like Heaven All I Want One More Time Like Cockatoos Icing Sugar The Perfect Girl A Thousand Hours
It really hurt to leave off Torture and Fight. Especially Fight. Hot Hot Hot!!! was easy to leave off. This is not how I would track the album, just the songs that I would put on there. Although A Thousand Hours replaces Fight nicely as a closer.

This would be the tracklisting.

All I did was move Just Like Heaven down. It makes for a nice start to the last third and transitions nicely between Like Cockatoos and Icing Sugar. Starting to regret living off Shiver and Shake, but kinda feel it and Fight need to go together.
Kiss Me is such a diverse record, that you could go so many ways. I obviously went for more of an ethereal feel.
I think "Wish" is a really strong album, it just suffers from being the followup to "Disintegration". The only song I don't really care for is "Wendy Time".
Oh man, I love Wendy Time.
I could do without Trust, but the rest of that record is great (the b-sides are all fantastic too.)
I actually prefer KMKMKM and Wish to Disintegration.

It's miles better than Wild Mood Swings, which ranks as my least favorite.
It isn't anywhere near as strong as their records up to that point, but I'd still easily rank WMS above any of the records they've done since (though there's plenty of individual songs I quite like from each.)
Ranking:
The Top Faith Wish Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me Japanese Whispers Disintegration Pornography Seventeen Seconds The Head on the Door Three Imaginary Boys Wild Mood Swings The Cure Bloodflowers 4:13 Dream
If you guys had to cut KMKMKM down to a 12-track album, what would be the tracklist?
The Kiss A Japanese Dream If Only Tonight We Could Sleep Why Can't I Be You? How Beautiful You Are Like Cockatoos All I Want Catch The Snakepit A Chain of Flowers Icing Sugar Fight
(I'm counting all songs recorded in those session as fair game.)

On the subject of Wish, I wanna say that it's my absolute favorite Cure album, with Disintegration right behind it.
