Favourite track: 'Bigmouth Strikes Again'

Even though I've thought Johnny Marr was cooler than the Fonz since 1984, the first album I ever heard from The Smiths was The Queen Is Dead. The first time I heard Big Mouth Strikes Again totally blew me away and I had to listen to more. A friend of mine had the album and we spent hours listening to it.

Any album that has a song on it as amazing as There is a Light that never goes out is going to be a classic, but with the quality of the rest of the tracks and the fact it was out at the pinnacle of their career makes it an all time great. It is an essential album everyone should have a copy of.
