Meat Is Murder
by The Smiths
Quintessential ’80s music—man, this takes me right back to high school and those uncertain, angsty teenage years. No cell phones, no Facebook, just time to really listen, reflect, and enjoy incredible music with friends or alone in solitude. I don’t think anyone captured this genre better than The Smiths, and this album felt like their love letter to the listener. And yeah, Morrissey is an asshole—but honestly, if that's what it took to make this album, I'll take it.
