> Meat is Murder - 7
> The World Won't Listen/Louder Than Bombs - 8
> The Queen is Dead - 10
> Strangeways, Here We Come - 10

> Kill Uncle - 5
> Your Arsenal - 10
> Beethoven Was Deaf - 7
> Vauxhall and I - 10
> Southpaw Grammar - 10
> Maladjusted - 6

The Smiths - 8 (really bad production, thats right)
Hatful of Hollow - 8
Meat is Murder - 8
The World Won't Listen - 9
The Queen is Dead - 9
Strangeways, Here We Come - 8
Rank - 8

> If you would. Each album out of 10.

> The Smiths:

> The Smiths - 6 - someone forgot to put the tunes in
> Hatful of Hollow - 10 - endlessly playable, possibly even the best thing they did
> Meat is Murder - 7 - a bit shabby really, but still passable
> The World Won't Listen/Louder Than Bombs - 8 - The Smiths Go Technicolour
> The Queen is Dead - 10. Compare 'I Know It's Over' with 'Come Back to Camden' and weep, fans of his latest limp offering.
> Strangeways, Here We Come - 8 - '...Vulgar Picture' and 'I Won't Share You' are instant classics
> Rank - 7 - 5 points for the title, 2 for the content

> Moz solo:

The 'great front covers' years ;-)

> Viva Hate - 10 - the only solo album anyone need buy. Mature and dignified.
> Bona Drag - 6 - has a certain cartoon charm, for sure. Moz goes pop.
> Kill Uncle - 0 - ladies and gentlemen, sanity has left the building
> Your Arsenal - 3 - for Mick Ronson's production and that song about glue
> Beethoven Was Deaf - not heard it. Why would I want to?
> Vauxhall and I - 6 - not a bad stab at creating an organically lush, lyrically diverse work. A vastly overrated album all the same, and that sunbathers song sucks like a sucking machine stuck on supersuck.
> Southpaw Grammar - 0 - in which Morrissey discovers boxing and punches himself in the muse repeatedly
> Maladjusted - 0 - Malrecorded more like
> You Are The Quarry - 2 - the latest in a series of flat, gassy drinks in the Blown Chance Saloon that is solo Moz. Morrissey now has a gun. Ooh, I'm scared.
