Thought it may be of interest to mention that Q magazine issue 194 contains a rather nice "buyers guide" to Smiths / Morrissey albums. They rate Your Arsenal as the essential Moz album, whilst Kill Uncle is unsuprisingly bottom of the stack.

The Queen is Dead rates as the best Smiths selection, though Strangeways Here We Come is also deemed to be "skyscraping".

All in all an interesting article.

The new Q magazine has an evaluation on Smiths and Morrissey albums. It doesn't seem to be linked into any release or anniversary (despite it being 15 years since 'Strangeways...' was released) so I can only assume they were a bit short on content this month.

It's a bit of a scattergun approach, including collections such as Hatful of Hollow and Louder than Bombs, but missing out Bona Drag, amongst others.

They pretty much stick to the usual view that Smiths = Fantastic (although dated in The Smiths case), Your Arsenal = Great , Vauxhall and I, Viva Hate = Good, Everything else = Crap.
