I'm betting on Disintegration, but I'm not voting. Not familiar enough with any of their albums.

Disintegration gets my vote. Head on the Door would probably be my second pick. BTW, you've got a few EPs in here, or so it seems.

I love them all but to me "Disintegration" represents everything that is associated with the Cure.

Where's the self-titled? They didn't stop at Bloodflowers... though I wish they'd stopped years ago.
Where's Three Imaginary Boys? That was their real debut in Europe. Boys Don't Cry was a US cut and paste of the 'best' parts of their debut and a few singles. Though to be fair I think it trumps Three Imaginary Boys, if only because you don't have to sit through that bloody awful version of "Foxy Lady".
I'd also recommend The Walk mini-LP over Japanese Whispers, any day of the week. Far more focused.
Anyway, I voted Pornography. The good stuff, in order:
1. Pornography
2. Disintegration
3. Kiss Me x 3 (with Orange Vinyl bonus album)
4. Faith
5. Head on the Door
6. Boys Don't Cry/Three Imaginary Boys
7. Seventeen Seconds
8. Carnage Visors
If you got Kiss Me... without the 6 bonus tracks, then maybe Faith or Head on the Door in third instead.
In my opnion the other albums, bar the odd song here or there, are shit.

Actually, the best Cure item ever is the Trilogy DVD. I'm not sold on music DVDs, but this is the best music DVD of all time. It's hugely long, all three of their most depressing albums (plus the 2 best tracks of Kiss Me) are played to perfection, in their entirety, by the best group of musicians Fat Bob and Gallup ever assembled around them, and the bonus interviews are insightful and revealing. The songs on Pornography are miles better than on the album, especially the title track.
If you were going to take only one Cure item to the old desert island, that should be it.
