1985: The Smiths- Meat Is Murder


One of my favorite 80s albums by one of my favorite UK bands with one of my favorite singers. Funny this was their only album to hit number one on the charts in the UK. This album has a lot of political undertones which I'm not too familiar with, but the music speaks for itself. It was another breath of fresh air for a time when punk, metal and new wave was all that was going on. This album can be considered one of the first "indie" albums to ever be released.

Key Tracks: That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore, How Soon Is Now?, Barbarism Begins At Home
