Whilst this series was first shown in 2013 and I am sure it was mentioned on this webpage at the time, but somehow I missed it and assuming some of you might also have missed it first time around...........
There is a mini series on BBC iplayer hosted by Danny Baker called 'Danny Baker's Great Album Showdown' which has him along with three guests talking about their love of a specific music genre. For those of you not living in the UK:

Danny Bakers Great Album Showdown - File Under : Pop
The Rock program has Stephen Street as one of the guests and so The Smiths and Morrissey get mentioned quite a few times, not that he picked any of their albums in his favourite top three. It was interesting when he said that as soon as they had recorded The Headmaster Ritual, they all knew it had to be the opening track on Meat is Murder. On the Pop program, Boy George and one of the other guests say how much The Queen is Dead meant to them.
If you grew up listening to vinyl in your bedroom, this series will appeal.
It does raise the question whether the concept of an album is dying for a playlist generation?
