I'm going to guess what you picked from the artists of which I have records also. Wilco and Shack would have been in a 50.
The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour (I went Grotesque)
Shack - Waterpistol
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Ryan Adams - Gold
Whiskeytown - Faithless Street
Lift To Experience - The Texas one
 
5. The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead 10/138

1600417687348.png

The Queen Is Dead is the third studio album by English rock band the Smiths. Released on 16 June 1986 in the United Kingdom by Rough Trade Records, and on 23 June 1986 in the US by Sire Records, it spent 22 weeks on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number two. It also reached No. 70 on the US Billboard 200, and was certified Gold by the RIAA in late 1990. In 2009, Rolling Stone ranked The Queen Is Dead 218th on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2013, British Magazine NME labelled The Queen Is Dead the greatest album of all time.

Guitarist Johnny Marr wrote several songs that would later appear on The Queen Is Dead while the Smiths toured Britain in early 1985, working out song arrangements with bassist Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce during soundchecks. The title of the album is from Hubert Selby Jr.'s 1964 novel Last Exit to Brooklyn. The album's cover art features French actor Alain Delon in the 1964 film L’Insoumis. The album was produced by Morrissey and Marr, working predominantly with engineer Stephen Street, who had engineered the band's 1985 album Meat Is Murder.

1. The Queen Is Dead (Take Me Back To Dear Old Blighty (Medley)
2. Frankly, Mr. Shankly
3. I Know It's Over
4. Never Had No One Ever
5. Cemetry Gates
6. Bigmouth Strikes Again
7. The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
8. Vicar In A Tutu
9. There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
10. Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others


Bluehammer Fact: Kirsty MacColl originally sang the backing vocals for Bigmouth Strikes Again, but it was considered "really weird" by Johnny Marr, and left off the final mix, to be replaced by Morrissey's pitch-shifted efforts.

It's a sad day for Bluemooners everywhere - half think it's a travesty it only made it to 5, and half think it's a travesty it made its way into the Top 5............. :-)

Maybe as we're not doing much Saturdays at the moment arrange a European style hooligan standoff in Piccadilly gardens with the likes against the don't likes. 50/50 split I reckon
