>>72040703
THIS
If we played by no comp rules then Magical Mystery Tour wouldnt be the best beatles album lol
and I wouldnt even consider it a comp since almost all of the songs are rerecordings.

Louder Than Bombs is second

>contrarians pretending that The Queen Is Dead isn't their best by far

Strangeways and Queen is Dead are about equal quality-wise. The contrarian opinion would be Meat is Murder.

>>72040703
>>72040800
Albums are compilations anyways.

>>72041656
They're all great. Meat Is Murder's only flaw is the title track. I think Strangeways' second half isn't nearly as strong as its first half: Unhappy Birthday and Death at One's Elbow feel like filler.

>>72041656
Strangeways is riddled with filler and has no true classic Smiths single.

>>72040666
it's actually Troy Tate sessions which is s/t with some early singles but with better production

Girlfriend in a Coma

Anyone here also like The Wedding Present?

This song and video are very Smiths-like:

that one is a garbage Smiths single

>>72043313
It's catchy as fuck though.

>Meat Is Murder's only flaw is the title track
no its not. if anything its well i wonder

>>72043613
Well I Wonder is a top 5 career track for The Smiths you fucking nonce.

Personally, I'd actually rank The Smiths studio albums
>debut
>queen is dead
>meat is murder
>strangeways
Seriously though, I listen to the sound of the smiths and hatful of hollow the most. I feel like strangeways just doesn't have that many memorable tracks. But maybe it's just me.

there is a light that never goes out is my favourite smiths song... am i a normie, mu?

no other song by them does as much for me as that song, and i'm a sucker for comfy love songs. northern sky may be my fav nick drake song too.

In terms of studio albums the ranking goes like this OP
>The Queen is Dead
>Meat is Murder
>The Smiths
>Strangeways Here We Come

>>72040703
The rare occasion where the compilation is the best record in a discography.

But s/t is the best by far.

>>72045008
That simply isn't true
it's The Queen is Dead
