I know this is a compilation, but seeing as it changed my music taste so drastically, I think I'm allowed. I bought this album on vinyl from my local Oxfam for £5, who ever knew that £5 could change your life. Having only heard 'This Charming Man' prior to buying this album, I soon delved into to the intriguing world of The Smiths. The versions of songs on this compilation are almost preferable to album versions, for example 'Back To The Old House' sounds delicate and gentle.

The diversity of Morrissey's lyrics on this album make it for me, going from the dark and emotional 'I Know It's Over' to the whimsical 'Vicar In A Tutu'.

Cracking comp, 'Is It Really So Strange?' has a great groove and typical rambling Morrissey lyrics 'I got confused, I killed a horse, I can't help the way I feel'.

Nice chart! It is really interesting Rubber Soul in the first place, it is a great album, of course, but sometimes it is unpriced because of the other amazing albums of the albums of them. Great descriptions too. There is only one thing: personally I find the compilations a little bit unoriginal for a chart, and you put one in the second place. Anyway it is okey!
