Sinister: The Smiths

[Mark Niciu]

Howdy,

I agree with Mike that someone new to the Smiths should begin with the 
self-titled album, but "Hateful of Hollow" seems like the next advisable 
addition to the beginner Mozian.  To me, "Hateful of Hollow" is their best 
album (it contains the first of several repeats of my favorite Smiths song 
"How Soon Is Now?") and represents an excellent synopsis of their singles 
from the pre-1984 period.  And, in my mind, this timer frame represents 
their best work.  Just be aware that many songs are repeated in typical 
Smiths fashion on "The Smiths" and "Hateful of Hollow," e.g. "Hand in 
Glove," "Still Ill" (albeit it is a different version on "Hateful of 
Hollow").

Better off playin' with himself,
Mark
