Boys Don't Cry is an album by The Cure, released in August 1980. It is the U.S. version of their UK debut album, Three Imaginary Boys, differing slightly in track order and missing three songs ("Foxy Lady," "Meathook," "It's Not You") while adding others ("Boys Don't Cry," "Plastic Passion," "Jumping Someone Else's Train", "World War" and "Killing an Arab"). The debut single from this album was "Boys Don't Cry".
On the back cover of original UK album Three Imaginary Boys, the song titles were not listed conventionally, but represented by pictograms. Boys Don't Cry took the pictogram for the song "Fire in Cairo" for its sleeve picture.
The London based indie punk band Plastic Passion took their name from this album.
In 2003, the album was ranked number 442 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
