THE QUEEN IS DEAD
The Queen Is Dead/Frankly, Mr. Shankly/I Know It's Over/Never Had No One Ever/Cemetery Gates/Bigmouth Strikes Again/The Boy With The Thorn In His Side/Vicar In A Tutu/There Is A Light That Never Goes Out/Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others
Moving on a couple of decades I feel it only right to nail my colours to the wall and pick a personal favourite. This album is deliciously witty, morbidly romantic and packed with themes never before considered for the pop song! It is the definite high point of a unique and tragically short career of a band that was perfectly formed for exploring aspects of the human psyche that had remained un-mined in music for far to long. And all to a shimmering sound that belonged more in the golden age of the sixties than the barren wastes of the eighties; making it all the more vital to the ears. All very pretentious, I know, maybe you had to be a teenager when it was released. Still, it continues to shine after 20 odd years.
