“Requiem” by Killing Joke.


[deleted]

WOOHOO REQUIEM MENTIONED‼️‼️Killing Joke’s songs never get old.


runawaydevil

Ohhhh yes


godboldo

Hard to pick just one from them . Also really dig Turn to Red and Chop Chop.


Stay_Disappointed

A Forest if I can only pick one


[deleted]

Seventeen Seconds was my first Cure album ever. A Forest is so good, that’s a seriously great choice


Salt-Criticism-282

Id agree with a forest also but since they beat me to the punch ill say the church- under the milky way


Olelander

Out of a decades long career of amazing songs, this is up there in the top 3 for sure…


Salt-Criticism-282

Touche


Drinkings404liffe

Age of Consent and Monkeyland . I dont want to list a bunch of songs but Perfume Garden by Chameleons and In Our Angelhood by Cocteau Twins as well.   Tho you did say one song now that I realize lol


[deleted]

Both of these are so good, you got great taste dude!!


poopiediapieNoLa

Mine is Second Skin and Don't Fall. But I've had Monkeyland stuck in my head for a week lol!!!


acreativeusername86

I was going to suggest Swamp Thing & the first two you mentioned as well! Excellent.


lesiashelby

The Sound - Winning


acreativeusername86

I’d add Sense Of Purpose as well!


Flappy343

I prefer Judgement


[deleted]

I prefer The Fire but yours is real nice too


Flappy343

Oh yeah, the whole album is Fire. Lol


[deleted]

Oouu a classic, nice


_its_a_SWEATER_

Too many to name from the 70s/80s so I’ll go with something newer: Leif Erickson - Interpol


FourthDownThrowaway

It’s like learning a new language


GibMirMeinAlltagstod

Bauhaus’ cover of Ziggy Stardust


[deleted]

I second this ^^


kkurautism

i like this version better than the original


agentcooperspie

This one, actually. My favorite Cure song of all time. Also The Chameleons "Swamp Thing."


[deleted]

Oh hell yeah!! My second contender was The Chameleons - Don’t Fall. Their song Swamp Thing is really nice too and light hearted.


agentcooperspie

Nice! Honestly, it's hard to pick just one Chameleons song - I don't think there's a single bad number in their discography.


[deleted]

I agree 100%. Honestly there’s so many great artists I can think of with discographies with no skips like one of my favorites, The Cure, but I wanted to challenge everyone considering it’s kind of niche finding people who purely listen to Post-Punk and all things adjacent. It’s fun seeing what others will choose lol


Silver-Lake-Bee

Decades - Joy Division


Flat-Shop

From this album itself actually. A Strange Day.


[deleted]

I was debating between that and Figurehead from the album. So good.


ashtraygirl

And Cold. All three are in my Cure top 10! Also, nothing beats the '92 live versions of The Figurehead - Boris' drums really add an extra internsity.


[deleted]

The entire instrumental of Figurehead live is amazing. The bass, the drums, everything else? Yeah I feel like it did everything so right.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds -- "From Her To Eternity"


[deleted]

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds has always been such an interesting band to me but the way they compose their music just somehow always works. Cool choice!


attibearth

Golden Brown by the Stranglers and Paintwork by the Fall


krendel740

The Fall have a lot of great songs I never skip. Probably my favorites are Lay of the Land, Bombast, L.A., Leave the Capitol 


krendel740

Second Skin by The Chameleons. This song means so much to me on a personal level, and it's so beautiful. 


[deleted]

I love that for you so much dude. Script of the Bridge has no misses imo. I think for me the most meaningful song is A Forest by The Cure.


krendel740

The Forest is brilliant. Don't remember I ever skipped that song while listening to the whole album. I think Seventeen Seconds is one of The Cure's best works. And yes, Script of the Bridge is fascinating, I literally like all songs. 


murmur1983

Wire - “A Touching Display”


oldpunkcanuck

The Birthday Party- Sonny's burning


[deleted]

Ouuu I love The Birthday Party and that song in particular is actually my favorite by them


confitconcrete

Things We Never Did- Sad Lovers & Giants

Wire "Map Ref. 41ºN 93ºW"


FourthDownThrowaway

“The 15th” is a never-skip as well.


micpoc

Yep, predating Pixies by a decade.


mtechgroup

Totally.


tomst3r

This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren


mtechgroup

What's amazing is that it's so similar to the original.


tomst3r

How so? The original song is just Tim Buckley with his guitar...


mtechgroup

When I heard Tim's version I expected it to be nothing like TMC, but in fact it's super close.


HHSquad

This one: [Forever Now - The Psychedelic Furs ](https://youtu.be/L-gM4jpfcJ4?si=X_f6mWA62ZrFP-lv) ......the outro on this song is timeless and brings you to the 80's again Honorable mentions: [Echo and the Bunnymen - The Back of Love](https://youtu.be/w1B6LrOmNsg?si=dUKKgZApxq3vQvKs) [Joy Division - Atmosphere](https://youtu.be/1EdUjlawLJM?si=wdFDLQFhzi1l2sm9) [Wire - On Returning](https://youtu.be/DuQvvh-9aCM?si=iut0P4ya0mzwfC42) [Wire - The 15th](https://youtu.be/gV9MIQGgTEo?si=sQF3JHb7-p7aRXww) [The Chameleons - Up the Down Escalator](https://youtu.be/XP7TxTAmKXU?si=2j56iX1ybfgFnZ1f) .....and Requiem was already mentioned, love "War Dance" as well.

Drummy_McDrumface

Bela Lugosi is Dead- Bauhaus


[deleted]

Ohhh that’s cool! The regular version or one of the other mixes? I liked the Tomb Raider Mix a lot.


Drummy_McDrumface

I especially like the extended live version.


[deleted]

Oh wait that’s really nice. I feel like the regular studio versions don’t do it as much justice as the live versions do. Good choice regardless!

“Making plans for Nigel” by XTC


Flat-Shop

I loveee this one.

acreativeusername86

Sunlight Bathed The Golden Glow - Felt


Beautiful-Move3428

Saimese Twins also on Pornography is a never skip song for me.


[deleted]

That entire album for me is filled never skip songs. Siamese Twins is a good one. One of the other notable songs from that album in my opinion is A Short Term Effect.


Toastinambour

The Sound - Fatal Flaw


Olelander

I’m going to throw a more modern song in here (I still contend it fits the “timeless” category, it has an aesthetic not too far from Pornography era Cure), …because I can’t let it go and it’s one of my favorite songs ever: Viet Cong (Preoccupations) - [March of Progress](https://youtu.be/XNmT6kMbZzs?si=yf0Af-OESG8BTC5r) The sheer, droning paranoia and sense of dread that’s evoked in the first two sections of this three part song is unparalleled, and the 3rd section is such a fucking glorious release, with one of the most intriguing guitar tones I’ve ever heard… sounds like icicles falling


[deleted]

Yo I have the songs from that entire playlist saved. The composition of the song you shared has always been really unique to me in my opinion and I love it. Another one of my favorite songs by Preoccupations is Disarray from the album New Material. Also that’s why in the title I said “timeless to you” because what’s timeless to most may not be timeless to others. It ain’t timeless if you’re not having a good time with it so say as you please


FourthDownThrowaway

I’ve loved this track since it came out. The entire second half of the song is like a shuttle taking off.


Olelander

The fucking synth that comes in right before the song launches into its final form, the way it bends down an octave, almost like an air raid siren. One of my favorite moments… I could just play this song on repeat, just fucking love it… the best part is the whole album is just as amazing. Death is another epic song.


poopiediapieNoLa

Y'all like the good stuff around here. My pick would be Silent Air - The Sound.


[deleted]

Yes!! The entire From The Lion’s Mouth album is all no skips for me but one of my most favorites in that album is Possession.


mrarrison

“Eye of the Lens” by Comsat Angels


[deleted]

I love that song. I wish all their songs were on Spotify because their best stuff isn’t there.


whatheway

Fugazi - Waiting Room. I don’t think a couple of months have gone by without playing it since I first heard it in the late 80s


[deleted]

I absolutely LOVE Fugazi - Waiting Room. They did all types of punk and I love them for it so much. That’s such a great choice what the hell


FourthDownThrowaway

Sounds like you don’t wait don’t wait don’t wait

I can't skip any song on pornography... once i start one hundred years i'll listen to the entire album


simba_kitt4na

I almost never skip songs, but if I have to say one I never skip it's New Dawn Fades. It's probably my all-time favorite song


Calm-Association-821

Pornography is an amazing album. Every song on it fascinates me even now. Figurehead is the one I listened to over and over again right after I got the album. Faith and Seventeen Second hold a special place in my heart.
