The Album Showdown Thread

[atomic]

Siamese Dream.  I don't even like Infite Sadness,

[Yada]

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!

Nutty...

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

Era Vulgaris

Siamese (MCIS had he higher highs but more filler as Hexenjagd said.)

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

[StoneTheCrow]

Queens is Dead and Lullabyes by a LONG SHOT.

Anyone need a copy of Crooked Rain on vinyl?

Well, if you're giving it away, sure.

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..

The last Smiths album was pretty bad.  Musically and lyrically.  I actually like some of Morrissey's early solo albums better than it.  Anyway the longer you go the harder it is to keep up a perfect record.  Depeche Mode kept it up longer than the Smiths.   Also,  I like the older Belle and Sebastian records better than the earlier ones.  Everyone except the last one was excellant though.  But they pretty much sound the same.  They aren't breaking new musical ground with each album and song.

Ill choose steaming pile of shit over flaccid masturbatory failure, by a nose.

I always much preferred Crooked Rain to Slanted..

there are too many competitions going on here.i'mgetting whiplash

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

I actually prefer Strangeways to The Smiths by a pretty wide margin. There's maybe three tracks on The Smiths I'd ever want to hear again.

I think its very easy to make the argument that Morrissey kept a clean sheet from the Smiths until Vauxhall.. i think that is about 10 years... astonishing..


and all you Kill Uncle haters blow me.. I love that album.
