Hi Nick and Alexia, where do I begin? Firstly, kudos for reacting to this magnificent and important album. Generally regarded as their best studio album, The Queen Is Dead influenced countless indie and alternative bands world wide. REM were big fans for instance. Although The Smiths only released four studio albums they were very prolific and made many non album singles, and wrote many songs that they played for radio or live performances only. All these songs can be found on compilation albums such as Louder Than Bombs, The World Won't Listen and Hatful of Hollow (where you found 'How Soon Is Now') plus there's a live album called Rank. Side 2 of The Queen Is Dead is almost a greatest hits selection with 'Bigmouth..', 'There Is A Light..', and 'The Boy With A Thorn..' all being very popular in their catalogue. I had to dig deep in South Africa to find any Smiths product in the 80's and discovered them through the compilation albums which I believe actually gives the new listener the best introduction to their full range. Their break up was very unpleasant, particularly between the songwriters Morrissey (not pronounced Morrissay) and Johnny Marr and they still don't talk to each other to this day. Then Andy Rourke (bass) and Mike Joyce (drums) sued the other two for royalties to their whole catalogue. It was very messy! Rourke died last year. So no reunions! I have to say The Smiths are a band that rewards repeated listens, with lyrics handy, as Johnny Marr's guitar arrangements are so subtle and beautiful and Morrissey's lyrics are ironic, sarcastic, clever and often delivered with typical Northern English deadpan, dry humour.

Great choice love the change up keeps it fresh and hearing new things. I first learned of the Smiths and Morrisey when I was working as a bartender and prep cook in Santa Fe, New Mexico back in the 80s. A young waiter introduced me to the Smiths with a cassette tape in the kitchen boom box. it was a welcome discovery, and that was one greasy cassette player. Great to hear it here. Hope everybody will dig in and enjoy. I love the variety and this band was very important to me in that period of time, as I was navigating some relationship and career changes. Can’t wait to dig in tonight after I finish all my chores. It’s already stirring up good memories and feelings just thinking about it.

Scott Anderson

Well said Richard. Hope you are thriving.

Richard Dobson

Hey Scott, my imagination is running wild picturing a young Mr. Anderson, a busy kitchen in New Mexico, a greasy beatbox and Morrissey crooning in his Manchester accent 'Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed'! Music strikes again!

Stephen Caruso

My son introduced me to the Smiths in the 80s and he has seen Morrisey live over the years.. not my favorite band but a good one and I do like much of their material even though I'm not madly in love with the vocals

Scott Anderson

Glad I could paint you a picture. It was Morrissey’s dead pan sardonic crooning that hooked me. Sometime it takes a good (musical) bludgeoning to penetrate the soul. 🤣🎸🤣🎸

David Hess

this is really good music, most of these songs sound familiar, I know I've heard these songs before, they sound like they would have been really good in concert/Live

David Hess

God Bless You Lex...

David Hess

didn't Romeo and Juliet take poison together to died together?

David Hess

this is actually my first listen of The Smiths except for the theme song to Charmed.

Eric Meredith

Overall ,I enjoyed this! Not sure I would revisit anytime soon. I do appreciate Morrissey voice inflections a lot here! For some reason they were moments it reminded me of R.E.M. . I feel like there is a serious lack of R.E.M. on your channel. Maybe I should change that! Anyway , loved watching you both react to this! Sending love as always!

JK

I used to throw R.E.M. into the mix but it’s been a while. I suppose Out of Time would get the most votes, but I like Life’s Rich Pageant, Document and Green even more.

Richard Dobson

REM were hugely influenced by The Smiths, and vice versa. I thought you might have added Automatic For The People to that list JK, their biggest album in the UK, but I agree we should do more REM especially my favourite, their debut Murmur. I must admit I'm missing marathons on the channel, REM would be prime candidates!

Eric Meredith

Yes, I am missing marathon's as well! i I went through a phase where I was very into R.E.M. , But I my favorite album was one later in the discography. New Adventures in Hi Fi is brilliant. I will have to get a request in sometime! Need some more of them on the channel!

JK

I requested an R.E.M. marathon in January 2023, which is worth searching for, I think.

Eric Meredith

I will look for it and watch it today. thank You JK. Appreciate you!!!

Richard Dobson

I saw that JK, but so much more to choose!

Debra Brabenec

Looking forward to revisiting this with your both. I bought the album, as I had gotten 2 songs sent to me in Taiwan by my then boyfriend ("Reel Around The Fountain" and "What Difference Does It Make"), and then bought the album Meat Is Murder when it was released when I was stateside. I loved that album and still do to this day. TQID followed MIM and I just couldn't get into it, so it will be interesting to listen with fresh (and considerably more mature) ears!

Franck Thibault

The Notebook baby, that's the way to go...

Johnny Marr left the band, which immediately disbanded, and Morrissey was the only vocalist ever in The Smiths. You can't overestimate Marr's brilliance, the music-writing, playing and production all him - the progressions often with hidden complexity yet with full grace. Andy Rourke's bass is criminally under-rated - they're songs unto themselves. Morrissey has a great but nowhere near as vital discography. You must listen to Viva Hate and Vauxhall and I. Part of Viva Hate's strength is that the music is written by Stephen Street, who was involved in a lot of Smiths recordings AND had Vinni Reilly on guitar. Suedehead is an astonishing song. But back to the Smiths, I'm glad this paid off for you AND I think TQID is their weakest LP despite seemingly to be their most popular. There is some real drag in there. Their 1st LP is my sentimental fave, Meat Is Murder is probably the most solid trip and SHWC is so rich and bitter-sweet.
