    Ben, most of their songs are great. If u want, start out with a greatest hits album and then slowly find the gems. They have so many great hits.

    Hey Dimi, help Ben out with this u horny Greek fucker! :D

    My personal favorite is Disintegration, but that's just me. The new reissue of that album sounds great too. :) But I'd check out their albums via youtube and figure out which ones you like best.

    Disintegration is my favorite as well. Perfect from beginning to end. I forgot about this album for awhile but then saw the South Park episode with Robert Smith which reminded me how brilliant this album is.

    Was heavily into them, Depeche Mode, Smiths and many similar classic alternative acts when I started college just before the 90s ended. Got fed up with the macho asshole rock of Bizkit et al polluting the airwaves.

    Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me because it's a perfect blend of the dark and quirky pop side of Robert Smith.
