The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead (1986)

The Queen Is Dead is the Smiths' great leap forward, taking the band to new musical and lyrical heights. Shattering the myth that he is a self-pitying sap, Morrissey delivers a devastating set of clever, witty satires of British social mores, intellectualism, class, and even himself. He also crafts some of his finest, most affecting songs, particularly in the wistful "The Boy With the Thorn in His Side" and the epic "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out," two masterpieces that provide the foundation for a remarkable album. Genres include Pop/Indie Punk.
