Top 10 Songs On The Smiths "The Queen Is Dead"

The most universally loved Smiths song.

This song rules.

Very clever, but not an album seller. The name lends itself to the album, and it is memorable, so I'm glad it exists.

No jokes, no self-deprecating humor, and no Morrissey-ian wit on this track. It's all a bit too bleak and depressing. And that is exactly why it's one of the most universally loved songs in their catalog. Anyone who has ever played this game called love will relate to this one. A masterpiece.

The main reason this album is so great.

The lyrics are the highlight, and the chorus isn't half bad either.

In my view, very underrated.

Very close, but this is slightly better than Vicar in a Tutu.

Catchy but plain by Smiths standards. It's okay.

This song feels like quickly written filler - forgettable and disappointing. It had the difficult job of following the album's two best tracks, which might contribute to that perception. Even still, you should only listen to this as part of the album, not on its own.

Not objectively better than "There Is a Light," but close.
