The Best Album of the 80s

Well, it's The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths, innit? What else was there? Disintegration? Doolittle? Joshua Tree? Bah!

Two choice cuts for the uninitiated:

Bigmouth Strikes Again
Released: 1986

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said /
I'd like to smash every tooth in your head

Enough said.

9/10

The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
Released: 1986

Morrissey switches into whimsical romantic mode, with Marr's jangling, florid guitar lines again providing the perfect accompaniment.

9/10
