They've stated this on a few occasions. Here are some recent links.

Johnny Marr:

Johnny Marr Remembers the Smiths' Studio Albums | SPIN | Interviews

Morrissey:

Morrissey’s Top 10 albums by Morrissey and The Smiths: The records ‘of which I am most proud’

I can sort of see why, it is their most mature album production wise, and I think its a great release but even Johnny Marr bows to the wisdom that the Queen is Dead is their best, lol.

Anyhow

Disintegration 7
Queen is Dead 7

Same, actually! I love the rest of the album but I will always be in the mood for Shankly. The smarmy lyrics are the best.
I'll abstain from this because I haven't heard any Cure.

The guy only listened to Wonderwall like two months ago. Nothing surprises me any more.

EDIT: HA Goofle beat me to it.

Disintegration 7
Queen is Dead 8

In a lot of ways, I feel like Meat is Murder and the Queen is Dead are complementary albums. I feel like they match song-for-song in terms of tone and quality. I find it difficult to pick between them for favourite, but the Queen is Dead came first for me, so it'll always outshine Meat like a firstborn child.

I'm still freaking out about this like I said not hearing Wonderwall is like never seeing the colour red or something

How do you not hear Wonderwall if you were born in the 90s.
