UAWIL #56: The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
The Smiths may not have made it big the US but they were a huge influence on the next generation of rock bands to come out of the UK. Led by Morrissey's painful laments, Johnny Marr's innovative guitar work and a solid rhythm section of Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce, The Queen is Dead may just be the best record they ever made. Not a band destined to last, or apparently to ever reunite, The Smiths occupy a special place in rock history that can't be ignored.
