The Smiths - The Smiths (1984)

During the alternative scene, The Smiths emerged with the unique vocal of Morrissey and the hallmark ringing guitar sound of Johnny Marr. Listening to a Smiths album is often a love it or hate it experiene. At their best, their songs are catchy, literate and impassioned while at their worst, the singing turns nerdy and disharmonic. The best tracks here are "This Charming Man" and "What Difference Does It Make?". C
