Prince was a genius. I’m not sure if this album belongs in the Overall Top 100 BEA however. ‘Purple Rain’ and ‘When Doves Cry’ are clearly brilliant, with ‘The Beautiful Ones’ close behind.
Side one
1. "Let's Go Crazy" - 82
2. "Take Me with U" - 71
3. "The Beautiful Ones" - 88
4. "Computer Blue" (Prince, John L. Nelson, Wendy & Lisa, Dr. Fink) - 68
5. "Darling Nikki" - 78
Side two
1. "When Doves Cry" - 99
2. "I Would Die 4 U" - 85
3. "Baby I'm a Star" - 66
4. "Purple Rain" - 99 [First added to this chart: 11/02/2021]

(805/10)
It’s difficult for me to review this album objectively. I own ‘Hatful of Hollow’ on CD, playing it to death as a teen, and only listened to ‘The Smiths’ for the first time a few years ago. This album (‘The Smiths’) contains many of my least favourite tracks from Hatful of Hollow; admittedly better versions of ‘Still Ill’ etc.
It’s still a good album but I prefer ‘The Queen…’ and ‘Strangeways…’.
Side One
1. "Reel Around the Fountain" - 81
2. "You've Got Everything Now" - 79
3. "Miserable Lie" - 84
4. "Pretty Girls Make Graves" - 81
5. "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" (quotation from "Sonny Boy" by Ray Henderson, Lew Brown and Al Jolson) - 76
Side Two
1. "Still Ill" - 81
2. "Hand in Glove" - 73
3. "What Difference Does It Make?" - 96
4. "I Don't Owe You Anything" - 71
5. "Suffer Little Children" - 83 [First added to this chart: 11/02/2021]
