So, with The Queen Is Dead being 25 years old, what is the best Smiths album? Yeah okay, I'm excluding The Queen Is Dead (and compilations - of which there are endless) from this poll as it will most probably win hands down so which one of the other three studio albums sits alongside that seminal album? Decisions don't come any more difficult in life!

My favourite is the self titled debut - personally think it's the equal of The Queen Is Dead.

No question about it, Meat Is Murder. Barbarism begins at home has to be one of the smiths top five songs. Morrissey's lyrics on this track and throughout this whole album are like no other. Headmaster ritual, no where fast, what she said, all rockers. Johnny's guitar on this album is pure caramels with strawberries bouncing off stain glass windows. This captures the
Smiths at their BEST!

Meat Is Murder. matt, listen to the intro of the first track "The Headmaster Ritual", then you'll know what I and jillam mean and "Barbarism Begins At Home" has got the masterpiece of Andy Rourke.

Probably my most all the time favourite The Smiths album is "Hatfull Of Hollow", but I just can't pick one cos all of their albums are so special to me.

Barbarism Begins At Home probably has the most impressve outro along with The Queen Is Dead - shows how underrated Andy Rourke is. My favourite of Meat Is Murder however is Well I Wonder. Beautiful tune, love it - I think it's a forgotton gem personally.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
