The greatest album ever.

Not even the best Smiths album.

So which of the other three do you rate higher?

Meat Is Murder and Strangeways

They produced 4 great albums. Lyrically (IMHO) the first album was the greatest but let down production wise (the unreleased Troy Tate produced version was probably better).
Musically wise, MIM, TQID and Strangeways were very, very good. Strangeways took the band way beyond the jingly jangly guitar sound the band had been pigeonholed with.
But The Queen Is Dead (for me) cannot be beaten..... every track a killer (OK, maybe not ''Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others''...)

Just a fantastic album I never tire of playing :)

Re: The Queen is dead

Agreed all 4 studio albums are great plus they had the best compilations ever in Hatful of Hollow and The World Wont Listen.

Music press/top album polls always put TQID above all other output but for me as with most of my favourite music it's a question of who/where/why/when/what.

Meat is Murder was the first album I heard by them and got me hooked. Still gives me goose bumps when I hear certain tracks. What She Said, Nowhere Fast and Well I Wonder got me through some bad times.

Listened TQID to death so it's in a compartment of my brain reserved for classic albums I never need to hear again.

It's Strangeways that does it for me. They were on a different level but also dead at the same time. Also the cynical core running through the whole album has been like a second backbone to me over the years. I still quote lines (in my head) from it on a regular basis, not because I'm some sort of arch, chin stroking smartarse but because they actually have a relevance to me.

Debut albums fine but a backward step in comparison to the others. I've heard the same about the Troy Tate version and Morriseys regrets over his vocals etc.

Can't believe I'm talking about the Smiths. I usually keep mine hidden.
