25 Best of the Best Album : 16. Staring At The Sea--The Cure

Another band with a visionary--Robert Smith, in this case--who liked to stretch out over full-length albums, but who was also quite proficient at writing the hit single when it was his need. The fact that this was considered "alternative rock" at the time (the '80s) proves the music industry had gone insane.

What's alternative about well-written pop songs?

But then this was back when having a Mohawk, a body piercing, a tattoo, or being a guy wearing eye make-up would get you endlessly harassed.

There were no shows on TV featuring tattoo parlors back then. If you can believe it.
