your favorite music from the 80s and mine, lets hear it for
the Smiths! Seriously, I love these guys and I wish they
could have stayed together longer instead of splitting up to
work on their mediocre other projects.

Here are some classic tracks if you don't know them:

Hand in glove, this charming man, William it was really
nothing, heaven knows I'm miserable now, Still ill, The boy
with the thorn in his side, this joke isn't funny anymore,
there is a light that never goes out, + some really awesome
songs that I'm forgetting

I like solo Morrissey, not as much as The Smiths as a
complete package, but he has released dozens of great songs
as a solo artist. I'm kind of glad they split up, they
released, what, five classic albums in as many years, and
then called it a day, what other artists have had the
decency to do that? I pray, in fact, that they never reform,
nor should Marr, who became just another journeyman
guitarist of little merit, sadly, work with The Mozz again.
The Smiths though, fuck me! YES.

I was high a few weeks ago at my favorite record store with
a bit of cash in my pocket, so I decided to go for a stroll
down memory lane by purchasing "Meat is Murder" on CD. My
older cousin gave me his complete vinal record collection
when I had first really really gotten into music at the age
of 13. One of those records (all 80's stuff - punk, metal,
glam, inde) was that particular Smiths record. I put that
fucker on the old giant phonograph that doubled as a piece
of furniture my parents have in our living room and - magic.
I can see how most people would hate the Smiths, but I was
instantly hooked. I haven't heard the record in years, but I
was suprised and happy to hear that it still had that
certain feeling that I so fondly remembered as a hormonally
ravaged teen. i even like the track "Meat is Murder".

this is a really weird co-incidence.

i've always dismissed the smiths because i dislike morrissey
so much.. but i'd never heard much of their stuff. tonight,
a girl sent me "this charming man" and i love it. Just
finished downloading their best of (I and II)..

Suggestions for best traximax to listen to?

i really should have read all of the first post before
posting a reply. i was just too excited at the weird
co-incidence of it all.

i'll listen to those tracks now :)
