haha, this just reminds about all the funny homosexual rules in the marilyn manson book. like 10 of them refer to the smiths, like saying you were gay if for example you slept with a girl who liked morissey, you ever had sex listening to the smiths, you ever had a haircut like morissey. never listened to em much but theyre decent. |

You would not believe what The Smoths mean't to me...my first love before E took it's hold and I was turned into a Acid House/Aphex fan- boy... I had such a crush on Moz....still do, I guess...:).. Been listening to to em a lot more and I can remeber every single lyric... Hvae you read any books on em?...there are a couple...The Jonny Rogan one and also just published a guide to everysingle song (called The Songs that chnaged your life...)...I'll dig some links... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also was an almost obsessed Smiths/Mozzer fan...Still love em, but yeah, I DID have the hair and the clothes...Spent tons of money on singles and Bsides and posters books etc. ( Kiss MY ass Marilyn Manson ) I read the Morrissey/Marr book, not a bad read, kinda slow in the beginning. I have a couple more books that are more picture oriented. They will ALWAYS have a warm place in my heart. |

i've just recently got into the smiths i think they are amazing |
||||||||

|
|
i've been warned that this band will make me gay |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How Soon is Now. They were a great group. I went out with a girl who loved Morrissey and definately had sex to the Smiths, so I guess that means i'm gay according to Manson... but he's a twat. |
||||||||
|

Great band. Didn't hang around too long. Last album was one of their best. Great lyricist. Wonderful frontman. Great guitarist. One of the best bands of the 80's |

I love the Smiths. ^_^ I got into a fight with my boyfriend once because I loved Meat is Murder (the song) and he hated it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it might be an improvement for you roy! give them a listen |
||||||||

Sorry to bump such an old thread (would you believe i actually used the searchfunction for this? ;-)). But i just bought "meat is murder" today... and i love it! Oh my god, it sounds incredible! I love the music, his voice, the lyrics... everything is just perfect! I get a feeling there have been alot of smiths-compilation albums though. I noticed many songs appear on several cd's in the recordstores. Could someone list all their "proper" albums please? (meat is murder isn't a compilation is it?). Also, which album features "this charming man"? That's the song i watched on mtv yesterday, and that made me want to buy a smiths-cd. But i ended up buying this one because it was the cheapest ;-) My favourite part is definitly the middle of the album. "That joke isn't funny anymore" is one of the most emotional and goosebumpy songs i've ever heard. "How soon is now" might even be slightly better! I love that song... "i am human and i need to be loved, just like everybody else does"...aaah... beautiful. Probably my biggest musical discovery this year :-) |

radiohead cite the smiths as their #1 influence and yet i only like one smiths song i've heard (shouldn't be hard to guess which, it's their biggest american hit) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is a light is the greatest song ever for me |
||||||||

He he, I was about to post, "Wait till Jand sees this..." then I saw your post :) I like 'em, good band. Flatmate last year was a massive fan so I heard most of their back catalogue. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One of the last great guitar bands that actually had a solid back catalogue that didn't consist of merely one album ie. Stone over-rated Roses and Oashit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheeh Jand you and the SMITHS will be forever intertwined in my mind! you're so cute!!! anyway tis a great band, and if any of you have not seen what Marilyn Manson wrote about morrisey and the smiths in his book.......you have to read it.......YOU will laugh out loud.......hahahhahah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jeez lecoeur, i already pointed that manson bit out, where have you been?!?!? just kidding heh, it is hilarious isnt it? i should probably listen to meat is murder someday, well see if that happens or not. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
What's the Marilyn Manson book you're on about called? Is his writing style similair to his interview one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
long hard road out of hell i believe. it's his autobiography. i've been loaning it out so long that i can't even remember the damn title. read it summer 2000 and laughed my ass off. very entertaining read, highly recommend it. |
||||||||
|
|

Cheers, my mate is a big fan, I'll nab his copy. |

i grew up with the smiths, they are one of my faves from youth. i even did a cover of "pretty girls make graves" for a lumptronic compilation of 80's 'tribute' songs, including that awesome cover called The Light 3000. there is a light that never goes out... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good. |
||||||||

"this charming man" was not on any albums proper, though it was added to the u.s. release of the first album. it does appear, of course, on some of the collections. the version on "hatful of hollow" is a radically different radio session version. in the us, a cd single was released containing seven different versions of "this charming man." proper albums: the smiths meat is murder the queen is dead strangeways here we come rank (live recordings) collections: hatful of hollow (radio sessions, singles) the world won't listen (singles, bsides,leftovers) louder than bombs (singles,bsides,leftovers) etc etc i saw the smiths at the aragon ballroom in chicago in 1986. seventeen years ago... |

I like that song... "Heaven knows I'm miserable now" - good melody and sort of funny vocals too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who did the electronic version of 'there is a light and it never goes out'? i heard it at leeds festival and it was AMAZING! it's deff my fave song by them. i'll leave u wiv my fave smiths lyric 'there's more to life than just drugs you know, but not much more...' |

hehehe wanna know what......i saw jands reply and didn't READ any further.......t hee.......=0) i'm glad you enjoyed those remarks in manson's book also......they made me laugh out loud. Manson is witty, dats a fact! |

Damn, love only every single song by them. Hardly a poor tune in there. |

Gotta check that MM books out now...Kinda intrigued by him as well now after seeing his appearance in Bowling to Columbine; seemed a real thoughful intelligent guy.... I read somewhere (Boomcat newsletter??) that the Schnieder TMs synth version of "There is a Light" is about to be re-released...think it might be remixed as well... As for a good first Smiths album?...I reckon Hatful of Hollow is the one; captures that early excitement so very well...(and contains "Please Please Please" - my personal fave...but so very very short...)... |
||||||||

haven't listened to them for a long time now (i have all the albums). this thread sure made me want to hear them again. i think "the queen is dead" was/is my favorite album by them. |
||||||||
|

Anyone who is into the Smiths should definitely check out the first two Suede albums ("Suede" and "Dog Man Star") - they're known as "The London Suede" in the States. Also check out their B-sides album, "Sci Fi Lullabies". Admittedly I am forever harping on about them, but they're frigging amazing, especially DMS. When they released their first single Morrissey liked it so much that he used to sing it and one of the B-sides when he played live. Seriously, check them out, fricking amazing stuff IMO. Dog Man Star is my favourite album of the 90s if not ever. And the singer, Brett Anderson, will no doubt appeal to all of you Morrissey lovers. |
||||||||

Yeah, Suede is a great band, nice lush pop for any mood. The Smiths are a life-saving band, seriously. Morrissey has done so much for us, and asked for so little. |

I love everything about them too... |

'emotional rock'! the term was first coined originally after a cat! One of sonic youths cat was called 'Emo'. Now it's a genre all on it's own. |
