Like Ro I have decided to move away from my safe zone and delve a little deeper. I was poised to select my favourite album of all time, a choice that would have been seen as safe, boring, and probably predictable too. Given the selections so far that simply will not do now.

So without further ado "The British Invasion" are delighted to select for Album 1981-1985 the self-titled first album by arguably the definitive British band of the Eighties,

The Smiths

The Smiths were a very interesting band, combining melodic and catchy music with powerful and disturbing lyrics about unconventional and controversial subjects. There's no denying the profound influence that the band had on British rock over the next decade though. Quite honestly, I don't beleive I truly appreciated this band when they first came on the scene in the UK. i thought them a little weird and out there. It was only later looking back that I came to understand and enjoy their music.

WIKI:
