The Queen Is Dead
The Smiths
I might have listened to this a long time ago, but I don't recall.
Never been a huge fan of Morissey's voice or the stream-of-consciousness lyrics. But the music is pretty good.
In the end it adds up to a below-average listening experience.
"She said, " 'Ey, I know you, and you cannot sing" "
2 stars.
Not my favorite Smith's album and Morrissey has more recently exposed his far right/fascist side - but still some good songs in there. I regularly listen to Bigmouth Strikes Again: "Now I know how Joan of Arc felt as the flames rose to her Roman nose and her Walkman started to melt".

The Police
Listened to this album many times.
Great songwriting by great musicians.
How does Mother make it on this album with Murder by Numbers only a bonus track?
"Many miles away, there's a shadow on the door..."

I've seen Sting in concert a few times in the past years (a very memorable one was with Shaggy) - it's incredible how he's still got it: "Every Breath You Take" and such a range of songs on each album.

An interesting discovery: Drake's voice got on my nerves sometimes and no single song stood out for me.
