Morrissey's solo stuff is better than anything The Smiths ever did. Just gotta take off your nostalgia goggles.

Smiley Smile is better than Smile would ever have been had it been finished
i love kanye west's personality but i can't stand his music
i have one that's related
I've always thought the Queen is Dead was good but not that great and their self-titled debut is by far the best thing they put out and that it's a masterpiece.
reel around the fountain is their best song
I actually have a cuckolding fetish and I set up meetings for guys to fuck my GF while I watch

Even more unpopular opinion:
Kill Uncle is one of his best albums.
>>74565173
I believe this too. They're albums got progressively worse. Strangeways is actually trite
>>74565173
I agree that Fountain is their best song but I still think Queen is their best album. S/t has some skippable tracks like Miserable Lie and Hand in Glove while Queen is pretty much flawless from start to finish.
>>74565588
I love both of those tracks
hand in glove is the worst track musically, I agree, but the lyrics are great
>hand in glove, the sun shines out of our behinds
>>74565662
also Never Had No One Ever has always been really bad to me
overall I like Queen a little better than Meat Is Murder but I don't dislike any tracks on Meat Is Murder
>>74565173
For me it goes
1. Strangeways
2. TQID
3. Meat Is Murder
4. S/T
S/T has some great songs but I think the production really holds the project back. My favorite smiths related thing is Hatful simply because of the production and how it made their first songs so much better.

Re listen to strangeways bro. It's their non-compilation masterpiece. Curious tho to why you don't like it.
>>74565855
I'm >>74565173 and I agree about the production. Have you heard this?

I wish so badly that Troy Tate had produced the official album release

Agree with this

Idk what it is, it just sounds full of itself. The lyrics aren't as impassioned as the s/t for me, the music is boring. I've always preferred a raw sound over high production value. I think Johnny Marr is overrated as a guitarist/songwriter. Musically the only interesting albums to me are MiM and s/t. Not that they're overrated imo.
>>74566021
I think in s/t Marr reached almost the apex of jangle guitar songwriting in a few tracks. what's amazing is he and Peter Buck were doing it at the same time independently of each other
I enjoy listening to all types of music and don't like the hive mind seen on this board.
