I'm actually surprised by that number 1. I thought it would be 2nd or 3rd. Generally Either/Or is his most recognized masterpiece.

As far as I'm concerned it's how Smith is supposed to sound, more frail and vulnerable than he does on anything else, as though a strong breeze could send him tumbling away, whilst retaining fantastic pop sensibilities throughout. It's his best collection of songs and his best album.<br /> <br /> EDIT: Also, if it had been released in 1997, it would be regarded as his masterpiece. https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=292549#292549 Anonymous Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:44:18 GMT https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=292549#292549 https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=292544#292544 Author: <a href='https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=25885'>meccalecca</a><br /><br /> Posted: 02/25/2014 20:20<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> </span><table class="bbquote-container"><tr> <td class="text-left"><strong>Mercury wrote:</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="bbquote">Same top 3!
