The Queen Is Dead is thought by many to be The Smiths' greatest achievement. The Manchester indie legend's third LP contains many of their greatest moments, the title track, 'There is a Light That Never Goes Out', breezy jangler 'Cemetry Gates', 'Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others', 'Big Mouth Strikes Again' and the strangely anthemic morbid ballad 'I Know It's Over'. Frankly, it's an essential classic which no record collection should be without.
