Many thanks to everyone who recently voted for their favorite album by The Smiths as part of Albumism’s readers’ poll series! Check out the consensus results & rankings below, and stay tuned for our next readers’ poll coming soon.
Note: While the compilation albums originally released in the 1980s were included in this poll, subsequent “best-of” and singles collections were excluded, so as to focus the voting on The Smiths’ prime—albeit short-lived—recording period.
