The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

It wasn't exactly difficult to choose an album for today, as The Queen is Dead is the only record I have that begins with a Q. Luckily for me, it is a great record, perhaps The Smiths best. The only difficult thing is trying to choose a favourite track. I don't think Morrissey was ever a sharper lyricist than he was on this album. His biting sense of humour on tracks such as "Bigmouth Strikes Again" and "Some Girls are Bigger than Others" is utterly genius. The title track rocks harder than any other Smiths tune, largely due to Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke, who rarely get any credit but surely deserve it.

Oh yeah, Johnny Marr is always incredible.
5/5
Favourite Track - There is Light that Never Goes Out
