Not sure about the best, but it's certainly up there. A pain in the arse to learn, though.

1. The Queen Is Dead
2. The Smiths
3. Meat Is Murder
4. Strangeways

They're all pretty close. And if I included compilations Hatful would probably be 3 or 4.

As far as songs go...
1. How Soon Is Now
2-5: There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, This Charming Man (Hatful version), Bigmouth Strikes Again, Cemetry Gates

Don't know the order, but "How Soon Is Now" is definitely top

Well, TQID is my favorite album of all time, so yeah, it's my favorite Smiths album. But Meat is Murder is still amazing, as are all their releases. I Know It's Over is my favorite Smiths song.

Hatful version of This Charming Man is my favorite, followed by There is a Light that Never Goes Out

Honestly "This Charming Man" is probably the best Smiths' song I think, the version on the American dêbut, not on Hatful of Hollow.

Also QID is way better than MIM, each track on the former is just phenomenal. "Never Had No One Ever" is kind of a downer right after hearing "I Know It's Over", though.

Couldn't really pick an absolute favourite Smiths song, would maybe have to go for Hand In Glove or This Charming Man if pushed, though Cemetery Gates is well up there.

And yeah, Meat Is Murder is better than The Queen Is Dead IMO, which is let down by Frankly, Vicar In A Tutu and Some Girls.

by the way, some issues of Meat includes How Soon
if original version of album included this song we would be talking differently

Damn right!

The Queen Is Dead beats Meat Is Murder in my book anyway.

Those are 2 of my favorites 🙁

The Queen is Dead is my favorite Smith's "Album", although Hatfull of Hollow is my favorite release of theirs.

In my Opinion :
1) Meat Is Murder
2) The Smiths (1984) debut
3) QUEEN IS DEAD

I agree with this order totally. On my overall chart I have Meat Is Murder at number 8, their debut at number 14 and Queen Is Dead is way down at number 83.

imo there are a couple of horrible ballads(I know it's over & never had no one ever) that bring that albums rating down. Whereas the first two albums are virtually flawless!
