Check out Hatful of Hollow, a collection of their songs. It’s a great way to get into them. Also, my favorite song of theirs, Well I wonder. From meat is murder

Some of my favourites are ‘I Won’t Share You’, ‘Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want’ and ‘Half a Person’.

Listen to the entirety of Strangeways Here We Come.
It is arguably their best album and every song hits.

Albums: The Queen is Dead and Meat is Murder. Enjoy 👍😊

My favourites are Reel Around the Fountain, Still Ill and This charming Man. Really I don’t think you can go wrong starting with any Smiths album.

Ohhhh I adore that album. I know a lot of Smiths fans don't but it's a favourite of mine. My brother gave me a copy for my birthday about 20 years ago and it had been years since I'd heard it. Paint a Vulgar Picture overwhelmed me to tears. They've been one of the most important bands of my life ❤️

The Smiths helped me get through the biggest breakup of my life... This album in particular... I played my original vinyl copy so many times I wore the grooves down and then had to rebuy it...
I can't go a day without Unhappy Birthday playing at random in my head...

I thought of listing the five smiths songs I would recommend but I'll just do one from each of the five albums (LTB is an album for these purposes)
This Charming Man
The Headmaster Ritual
The Boy WIth the Thorn in His Side
Half A Person
Stop Me If You've heard ths One Before
That said, I'm a superfan and could have listed any five songs as recommendations. There are literally only two songs by the smiths I don't like - Girlfriend in a Coma and Meat is Murder.
EDIT: I gyess if LTB is an album so is Hatful so from that I recommend Accept Yourself.

Every song on hatful that is also on the debut is better on hatful.

‘I know it’s over’ also fits this description.

I’m not a huge fan of them, but I really dig How Soon Is Now?.
