actually, believe it or not i do have a rationale here... i'm sort of following AMG's listings (www.allmusic.com) and if they have something under compilation/boxset i haven't been including them. i think too that the smiths albums in question tend to repackaged/reorganized rather than new material. (but if there's a smiths album you think has enough original stuff to qualify, let me know over by that poll!)
I'll jump in here, if that's alright. While Hatful of Hollow and Louder than Bombs are indeed compilations, they largely include non-album singles and B-sides. Unless you bought singles, most of this material was available for the first time on these albums, unlike their The Best Of series or their Singles disc.
very well, kids. i'll add those others to my smiths list. you made convincing enough arguments, i think. (either that or i'm doing it out of sheer intimidation... jk)
Help me understand. Moxy Fruvous can have a collection of b-sides voted for as their best album but The Smiths can't?

yes, i thought they were both similar to Moxy's B Album. plus we are talking about the difference between domestic and import releases, too.
