Classic Albums Remade: The Smiths, 'The Queen Is Dead'

Robert of the Radish Writer March 16, 2015
Think for a minute of how influential U.K. alt-rock icons the Smiths have been on the pop landscape. Now think about how much music they have actually given us. It’s amazes me to think that this legendary band only released four studio albums during its run.

As a Smiths fan, I won’t argue that every release is a gem in its own right. But of the four, I think 1986’s The Queen Is Dead has the most special place in my collection. Although it only reached No. 70 on the Billboard 200 chart, it was voted by NME as the “Greatest Albums of All Time” and it earned a five-star rating from Rolling Stone magazine.

This playlist features cover versions of every song on The Queen Is Dead as performed by artists influenced by the original.
