favourite smiths track

[IntoStella]

The Queen is Dead.

Or possibly There is a Light

 

[holteman]

there is a light that never goes out

 

[IntoStella]

My favourite Morrissey track is probably Jack the Ripper

Me too.

Though I am also very partial to All the Lazy Dykes.

If this was a poll we would have a clear winner by the look of it.

My favorite Morrissey track is Late Night, Maudlin Street

 

[onenameshelley]

Ask
This charming man

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Yep that's a good'un too

*goes off to locate my old pair of DMs- sniff*

 

[kage]

Gotta be "Girl Afraid". The descriptive accuracy of the teenage mating ritual always makes me laugh.

 

[vogonity]

That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore

reel around the fountain

is this going to be a poll?

 

[goldenecitrone]

There are so many, so many many many. But if I had to choose one, then Stop me if you think you've heard this one before. Full blast. Beautiful.

Nothing’s changed
I still love you, oh, I still love you
...only slightly, only slightly less than I used to, my love

There are way too many for that and I don't suppose my fave, 'Asleep' for one, would make it on there.

 

[thestraightman]

crap





*dust*

 

[goldenecitrone]

Can I just add that I saw them twice in concert in Manchester, once at Salford University and the other time at the Free Trade Hall, and I've never ever experienced anything like it again, although Nick Cave wasn't far off. Sublime.

 

[Rock Bottom]

Two album closers stand out for me .......

Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
I Won't Share You

As for Morrissey's solo stuff, I always had a perverse liking for Ouiji Board.

 

[bluestreak]

solo morrissey...

suedehead

the last of the famous international playboys

november spawned a monster

irish blood english heart

 

[Major Tom]

To be honest I've got a little sick of the songs I used to revere - Please please please and there is a light. Goods songs they are, but overplayed somewhat - my own fault of course.

I still think How Soon Is Now is gut wrenchingly sad though, and I love it.

<trying not to be drawn into morrissey solo debate>

 

[mangakitten]

I'm very jealous of you seeing them live, goldenecitrone! I saw Morrissey a couple of times doing Smiths tracks, but it wasn't quite the same. Although seeing Morrissey in itself was fabulous.

I love ouija board, ouija board as well, especially the end...

"It spells S-T-E-V-E-N...

P-U-S-H-O-Double-F..."

*lol* The video with Joan Simms in it was very funny.

November Spawned a Monster is a favourite of mine too.

 

[Major Tom]

"It spells S-T-E-V-E-N...

P-I-S-S-O-Double-F..."

I thought it was push off

 

[SwizzleStiX]

Heaven knows i'm misrable now is pretty good

There is a light and it never goes out

Yes it is rather, isn't it?

 

[clandestino]

[Major Tom]

[Silva]

Meat is Murder, if the limit is one. Could list some 25 more, if asked to.

 

[IntoStella]

Rubbish idea.
