Thirty-four years ago this week, The Smiths went to No. 1 in the U.K. with their second album, "Meat is Murder." The Smiths influenced a generation of artists with their mix of pop and poetry, and we'll highlight tracks from the album, including one of their biggest college radio hits in the U.S. - which wasn't on the British version of the album.
