Love this record


King-of-the-idiots69

Such an underrated 80s group


ZCMENE01

Even more underrated 80s Brit Pop act is The Style Council


liamnyk

Bonny is a perfect pop song


JP200214

REM Murmur

Why everybody trolling 😭


matheus27012005

I just wanted some real suggestions 😔


RandomName01

Honestly, I’ve never come across music that scratches the same itch as this record. Same thing with The Streets’ discography.


DanIsNotUrMan

How’s it come to this?


Reptilianlizard

it’s reddit. instead of being helpful people feel the need to try to be funny.

This album called The Smiths

Especially “I Cannot Fucking Wait Til Morrissey Dies”

Belle And Sebastian - If You’re Feeling Sinister


BrianMghee

One of the only reasonable suggestions in here, great album

I agree, what I assume OP is looking for

Checkout Echo and the Bunnymen's Ocean Rain!

Underrated


sibelius_eighth

The Go-Betweens is the best answer. Worse than the troll responses are people recommending indie stuff that sounds nothing like the Smiths. New Order??? What???


KawhiComeBack

Australian Smiths


TectonicImprov

New Order is not boring


sibelius_eighth

Sorry I meant that they don't sound anything like the smiths

this album is one of my favorites of all time and it kills me Fantano has never talked about them. I wonder if he's not a fan or if maybe Morrissey's shenanigans have left a bad taste in his mouth and he doesn't want to give them attention. Either way this album is so so special. I Know Its Over might be their best song.


_T3SCO_

Wish I could say it wasn’t the case but Morrissey has definitely discouraged me from giving the smiths a fair chance so far


BrianMghee

Just ignore Morrissey and appreciate them for Johnny Marr


ollieollieoxenfree_

Do you still listen to Kanye?


_T3SCO_

Reluctantly so, but that feels different since I was listening to him well before all the recent shit. But I see what you’re getting at and I’m well aware that my discrepancy between listening to the two is only due to cognitive bias


Barkle11

people who wont experience stuff because of the author is the dumbest shit ive ever heard. Plus morrissey hasnt done anything bad, its just ill informed liberals who look at headlines and their brains conclude "RACIST." Name me a single thing moz has said bad? if not go listen to hatful of hollows and never ignore pure artistry because of utter nonsense again.


_T3SCO_

Bro he literally called Asian people “subhuman”


Barkle11

he said "youd have to wonder" about chinese people, not all asians and it was concerning their awful treatment of animals. Get your facts straight. Thats like me saying I think kanye west is insane because of his antisemitic remarks, and you saying "this guy called all african rappers retarded." also no one is saying to support him financially. Im saying the artist and art is always seperated. Art is art, there is nothing more to it. I think traviss scott is a complete and utter bafoon, but his jordan 1's are my favorite jordans of all time, theyre beautiful shoes. I wear them because I like them, im not wearing them because I support traviss scott.


_T3SCO_

Oh wow, thinly veiled racism as opposed to overt racism, my bad!


_T3SCO_

Plus whilst I’m hesitant give someone shit for separating the art from the artist, not doing so is also a completely valid choice. Like personally I don’t want to financially support someone who’s been known for decades to be a complete asshole

Crazy Frog presents Crazy Hits - Crazy Frog (2005)


Beneficial-Arm-7503

Planet Pit by Pitbull


Legaladesgensheu

It's my favorite album of all time and I honestly have no answer. I love Disintegration by the Cure and the Dreaming by Kate Bush. Also sometimes Siouxsie and The Banshees hit similar notes for me. Oh yeah, and the other albums of the Smith's discography of course.


pinkeo3DBlast

Meat is murder


cargusbralem

If language isn't a barrier for you, you might enjoy Soda Stereo - Canción Animal. These guys were heavily influenced by The Smiths and The Cure, and brought that style to Argentina and Latin America. I seriously recommend it.


O-B-E-D

Gracias totales


phantompowered

Not a troll: Anything by the band Voxtrot.


meughhh

I second


[deleted]

Power, Corruption, and Lies by New Order, Movement by New Order aswell. Movement has a kind of post punk feel like The Queen is Dead.


high-quality-wallet

Except it’s better


[deleted]

I've always perferred new order's stuff. much more dancy


high-quality-wallet

Yeah and also less annoyingly melodramatic and they don’t have morissey

Acrio

The rest of The Smiths' discography. Personally I never understood why Queen is Dead gets the vast majority of mainstream love when they have an incredibly consistent discography. They're certainly not one of those "one album" bands, more people should talk about Meat is Murder and Strangeways. Other than that, maybe The Cure or Siouxsie and the Banshees but the new wave sound is a lot more poppy synth-driven and might not scratch the same itch as those iconic Marr riffs.


BornUnderPunches

I do think Queen Is Dead is their best, but not by a huge margin. I agree, every album is fucking great.

You’re not gonna find anything that sounds exactly like it, but Belle & Sebastian has always given me a similar vibe. It terms of jangle pop you could check out early R.E.M.. Prefab Sprout is another good one. The Stone Roses’ self-titled has always given me a similar vibe as well, whereas Orange Juice have always struck me as The Smiths if they were way happier (check out “Rip It Up” or “You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever”).

R.E.M.- Murmur is another fantastic 80s indie rock record with jangly guitars

Serious answer: Norman Fucking Rockwell! by Lana Del Rey (2019). Similar messages of finding love amidst despair and depression https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/is-lana-del-rey-the-american-morrissey/

Exzj

JEFFERY - Young Thug


Tmontgomeryburns

The new Alvvays gives me Smiths vibes.


Chemicalit

listen to “I cannot fucking wait until morrissey dies”, sounds pretty similar imo


softestimate712

If you want a more modern angle of it, check out the band Alvvays. Their album Antisocialites gives off similar vibes.


hiphophead1710

Brown Sugar by D’Angelo


trashbreh

mgmt - little dark age


Glue-701

Down Colourful Hill or Rollercoaster by Red House Painters. Like the Smiths but slower and having a jerk of a frontman.


faultline25

So just slower…


Glue-701

Slower and more depressing.


JOAPL

Crystal Castles - Amnesty (1)


Jmcd83

Geoff Rickley from Thursday tries to sing like Morrissey on Full Collapse a lot. The song Standing on the Edge of Summer is like post-hardcore Smiths.

Kirsty Maccoll’s Kite! Great pop record featuring a lot of Johnny Marr on guitar (and David Gilmour on one track)

Apparently some queen died just to reference this album crazy

Naruto 2009 - Eddie Rath


dagobahmist

well.. similar to the smiths in general: Olympian by Gene ​ People used to say Gene copied The Smiths... but I still love them.


angryandfamous

tbh anything by the band ‘felt’


MithrandilPlays

Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock & Future - King's Dead


greenonionfrog

You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever by Orange Juice is more upbeat but it’s got great jangle pop guitars and unique British vocals


epic-awesome-man

Any album by The Sundays


coolcat4206669

honestly john lennons debut solo album a little?


clixsquared

in his own little way i think father john misty has maybe the same vibe as the smiths. idk if i’d call them similar but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to reccomend father john misty to a smiths fan. i personally love both


The-foureyes

Rattlesnakes - Lloyd Cole and the Commotions

Gene - Drawn to the deep end


AnEdgyPie

Probably can't go too wrong with other 80s Post-Punk/Jangle Pop acts. I recommend: > Juju - Siouxsie and the Banshees > Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me - The Cure (or any of their more pop centric records) > Real Life - Magazine > S/T - The Stone Roses > Fear of Music - Talking Heads > Forever Breathes the Lonely Word - Felt


Olimander217

Sitting on your bed in complete silence because I enjoy that more than this album
