A crown jewel of British indie released in 1986, The Queen is Dead is The Smiths at full creative tilt-sharp, sardonic, and utterly unmatched. Morrissey's lyrical theatre meets Johnny Marr's chiming guitar work in a glorious, melancholic clash of the personal and the political. An era-defining release that continues to shape indie music's spine.
