Ah, now this is what I call a fucking topic! The Smiths were
probably THE best band to come out of the 80's... No
doubting it. Morrissey has the certain knack to make
something so tragic sound so beautiful... "There Is A Light
That Never Goes Out" or "Girlfriend In A Coma" for example.
:) Johnny Marr is a god.

The Smiths are a fabulous band, often wronly tagged with
being miserablist by people that never heard them but only
read the song titles. The combination of Morrissey's
masterly lyricism and Marr's astonishing fretwork, added to
the fact that in the space of only 5 years they managed to
bang out 5 classic albums, makes The Smiths, true legends.
My fave songs are "The Headmasters Ritual", "How soon is
now", "Frankly, Mr Shankly", "Unhappy Birthday", "Death of a
disco dancer", "Reel around the fountain", "Bigmouth strikes
again", "Sweet and tender hooligan", "You just haven't
earned it yet, baby"...oh all of them. Fave album is "Meat
is murder". oooooooh.

There are only two artists I feel more attacted to than The
Smiths... and they are The Beatles and the Soft Boys. The
Smiths are a perfect 10, an incredible band.

I still think Morrissey and Marr could work some magic
together. ''You Are the Quarry'' is a rock solid album, and
''Boomslang'' has its moments.

I love "I'm not sorry" on the new album.

it makes me go all limp in my head, just like the better
Smiths songs do.

i picked up the singles album on friday. it's my first real
exposure to them and i enjoy a large number of the songs
immensely. i don't want to overdo it with them, though, so i
think the only other albums i'll pick up are meat is murder
and the queen is dead.

the boy with the thorn in his side is probably my favourite
song from the singles.

I downloaded Morrissey's new song from Oink the other day,
and it pretty much sucks. So I went back to listen to
Vauxhaul and I to jog my memory and remind me of what he can
do when at the top of his game. I'd say Vauxhall is as good
as any Smiths work bar TQIDead.

haha prime! capote'll do that to you. but yeh smith are good
in moderation. ive always got time for "meat is murder"
though. same applies to kid606 in moderation he's alright. i
listen to "resilience" while doing the washing up

I've dreamt about him a few times. Once he was my pederastic
uncle (I guess it was inspired by Reel Around the Fountain),
and that was fun. I also dreamt he died once, I woke up with
tears in my eyes.
