Shout at the Devil.

Too Fast for Love would be a better matchup.

I don't know, TFFL has this reputation of being their classic "punk"/Dolls album but I don't think it's that quality of an album. Shout is where they truly came into their own.

Oh, I agree.  My angle was more that Dr. Feelgood was MTV schlock and TFFL would have been a more worthy adversary for Shout.

I would go with the Queen is Dead but I have to say all the Smiths albums are great.... maybe the only ones i'm not as into are the collection of singles and b-sides..


I truly even love the last one so much.. i might pick the queen is dead because the boy with the thorn in his side is really hard to top but.......i like them all... meat is murder

the smiths where the last perfect band

belle and sebastian looked like they could do it but then they became a really bad joke.. there has been no band since the smiths with that perfect track record..

I felt like the first and last Smiths records were mostly crappy aside from a few tracks.

well that's just like your opinion man!!!!!!!!!!!


a lot of people, not you, were put off by the last smiths album..the reviews were certainly not as good... i love it though...

that song about the tacky badge, unhappy birthday, last night i dreamt.. good lord...its perfection to me..

Siamese Dream

Infinite Sadness was too long, with too much filler.

Siamese Dream kicks ass from Cherub Rock till the end of the album.

(I do love both, but if I had to pick one it would be SD.  Also both have great covers, from the images down to the font)

I way prefer the first Smiths album. In fact I was listening to it last night.  The lyrics on the Queen is Dead aren't the best and most of the best songs were released as Singles before the album was released.

this thread, is just, going to become, a jumbled mess of shit.

Perhaps it went over your head, but the albums should be from the same artist.

I thought I would change it up.  Anyway it was getting boring.

Crooked Rain as it's the only one I have.

2 vinyl copies, in fact. Not proud of that.

You've never heard the rest of their discography?

Nope!  Seen em tho!
