Given the headlines all about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, it wasn’t long before people started posting covers or references to The Smiths’ third studio album, The Queen Is Dead. Originally released in June 1986, the seminal work contains some of the best-known Smiths songs, like “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out,” “Bigmouth Strikes Again,” and “The Boy With A Thorn In His Side.”
