The Story Behind: The Smiths - The Queen is Dead, Ep 6

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The Smiths finally get what they want - a universally adored 3rd album in The Queen is Dead. Except, not everyone's on board. The boys discuss Manchester's musical history, Morrissey's pitchiness and wit, and how this band set the template for many indie rockers to come.
