Genre: Indie, Post Punk

There are lots of good singers in the world. Beyonce has a good voice, as does Chris Cornell. Jesse Lacey and Justin Vernon are also individuals to which this label applies (in my superior opinion).

To me, it's pretty special when a vocalist comes along who is truly great. Morrissey is one of them. Blessed with a voice possessing a sort of creamy quality and phrasing to match, his brilliant lyrics soar over the catchy and ingenious jangly guitar lines of Johnny Marr in a songwriting partnership that is extraordinarily hard to find fault with. It manages to s ound deliciously raw, but polished at the same time. People say that The Queen is Dead is The Smith's best. I agree. Everyone needs to hear this album. It's as close as you can get to post punk/indie rock perfection. The atmospheres and melodies contained within this are just beautiful, and you cannot help but be immersed in this record. Seriously man.

Seriously.
