Awesome Catalog Club on Queen is Dead. I agree with your sequencing gripe. And yes, please, so a CC on Kirsty MacColl! Kite is excellent and Titantic Days is a truly, enduringly great album very few people know or else have forgotten.

My favorite track on this album is still the one I first heard played on the radio during release week: “Cemetry Gates”. Classic album all around.

Yes, a few filler tracks on Queen is Dead, whereas meat is murder has no filler.

One of The Smiths’ most beloved songs was never released as a UK single during the band’s lifetime. “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” appeared on their 1986 masterpiece The Queen Is Dead, pairing Morrissey’s romantic fatalism with Johnny Marr’s sweeping arrangement. It eventually received a UK single release in 1992, years after the band split. On The Tube in 1986, The Smiths performed it during their final year together.

Captured in 1986, The Smiths performed "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" during their final tour, a rare live take on one of their most distinctive songs. Released that same year as the closing track on The Queen Is Dead, it showcased Johnny Marr’s shimmering guitar and Morrissey’s dry humour, blending melancholy and wit in equal measure. The song’s fade-in effect, engineered by Stephen Street, became one of the album’s defining touches, subtle, surreal and unmistakably The Smiths.

Deerhunter Month continues at Evil Speakers with 2010’s HALCYON DIGEST, possibly their best regarded album and definitely the slickest. Among the topics of conversation is “Desire Lines,” my favorite indie rock song of the 21st century.

Charging through Derby in December 1983, The Smiths delivered “This Charming Man” with the jangling guitar sound that defined their early years, a standalone single from 1983 that became one of their most iconic songs.

“How Soon is Now?” by The Smiths: A Hauntingly Beautiful Classic “How Soon is Now?”, released in 1984, is one of The Smiths’ most beloved and enduring songs. This iconic track showcases the band’s unique blend of jangly guitars, poetic lyrics, and Morrissey’s unmistakable vocals. The song’s dreamy, swirling guitar intro, courtesy of Johnny Marr, sets the tone for Morrissey’s poignant and introspective lyrics. His soaring vocals convey the anguish and isolation of feeling like an outsider, desperately seeking connection. The lyrics are a masterclass in poetic storytelling, exploring themes of loneliness, rejection, and the crippling insecurity of youth. Morrissey’s words paint vivid pictures, making the listener feel the pain and longing. Musically, the song’s hypnotic groove and Marr’s innovative guitar work create a sense of tension and release. The track’s production, handled by John Porter, perfectly captures The Smiths’ signature sound. “How Soon is Now?” is a timeless masterpiece, resonating with anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider. It’s a testament to The Smiths’ profound influence on indie music and their enduring legacy. #thesmiths #morrissey #johnnymarr #alternative #PostPunk

Bringing together Bernard Sumner of New Order and Johnny Marr of The Smiths, Electronic became one of the most celebrated collaborations of the 1990s. Taken from their second album, Raise the Pressure (1996), "Forbidden City" blended alternative rock with electronic influences while showcasing the distinctive talents of both musicians. This live performance captures the partnership at its creative peak.

In 1984, as The Smiths were still carving out their identity, a Rockpalast appearance captured “What Difference Does It Make?” at a raw and formative moment. Taken from their debut album The Smiths, the track introduced Morrissey’s cutting perspective and Johnny Marr’s urgent guitar style to a wider European audience. The performance shows the band before hype and legacy set in, defined by immediacy rather than myth.

Only months after The Smiths had split, “Suedehead” proved Morrissey could immediately succeed under his own name. Recorded with producer Stephen Street, who also co-wrote the music, the song introduced a more polished solo sound while retaining Morrissey’s characteristically ambiguous lyrics about an unwanted, intrusive relationship. It became the first single from his 1988 debut album, Viva Hate, and reached No. 5 in the UK, charting higher than any Smiths single had managed during the band’s lifetime. Four years later, Morrissey performed it on Later... with Jools Holland, by then firmly established as a solo artist rather than simply the former Smiths frontman.

From their appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1986, Bigmouth Strikes Again captures The Smiths during the run of The Queen Is Dead. Released that year as a single, the song reached number 26 on the UK Singles Chart and became one of the band’s most recognisable tracks. Driven by Johnny Marr’s rapid, layered guitar work and Morrissey’s self-referential lyric, it reflected the sharper, more confrontational edge of the band’s mid-80s peak, with performances like this placing them firmly at the centre of British alternative music.
