**💭 Thoughts:** Legendary British indie rock band The Smiths’ 1986 studio album *The Queen Is Dead* is one of the most acclaimed British rock albums of 1980s, considered by many to be a masterpiece. While I do not particularly love The Smiths’ jangly pop style of indie rock, I can certainly appreciate this album and its influence, and wouldn’t complain if any of its songs were to come on. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.)
