The Smiths - The Smiths LP
Arriving in an era dominated by synth-pop and gloomy post-punk, The Smiths' eponymous debut began a new era. Johnny Marr's inventive songwriting and ringing guitars were catchy and melodic and were made all the more original by Morrissey's style and lyricism. And though the band continued to improve over the course of their career, their songs here remain as vital and alive as ever, startling and exciting new listeners to this day.
