favourite smiths track

[kyser_soze]

The one where someone breaks into the studio and caves the whining 40 yr old 6th former's head in with a nail studded baseball bat...

That would be Mike Joyce.

 

[Skim]

It's a close call between There Is A Light... and The Queen is Dead.

 

[Louloubelle]

sooo difficult, the only smiths song I don't like is Meat is Murder, not so much for the lyrics but because its just sooo slow

my fave smiths songs, probably

Barbarism Begins at Home
What She Said
Bigmouth Strikes Again


solo

Angel Angel Down We Go Together
Alsatian Cousin
Late Night Maudlin Street

 

[poet]

if only there was a club night where you could hear the best of the smiths and old indie bands....blah blah etc etc...

Does anyone know if they still do that smiths night in the Star and Garter?

 

[poet]

My favorite Morrissey track is Late Night, Maudlin Street

Gorgeous, gorgeous tune. No better distillation of suburban streetlit melancholy.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I went to a Smiths karaoke night in Baltimore - fantastic evening. I never suspected that I knew the words to so many Smiths songs.

I also never suspected that so many Americans liked the Smiths, but it is a college town.

 

[deep_thought]

i cant pick just one song but ill keep it short..

- 'handsome devil'... its off some peel sessions i think
- 'reel around the fountain'.. reminds me of my girlfriend.
- 'pretty girls make graves'.. doesn't remind me of my girlfriend

and the best album is the first. and anyone who doesnt own it go and buy it as soon as possible or i will kill you.

That'll be I Know It's Over from The Queen is Dead.

 

[knopf]

What difference does it make? cos it was the first of their singles that I bought. But for all-round value, it has to be: -

How soon is now?

Can someone explain to me what they like about this pretentious, and dreary band. The lead singer sounds like paul"trumpet voice"young, and the music is blues and rock influenced with all the sex and excitement taken out.

just out of interest, who would you say is a better band? a list of ten would be good.

for me it would have to be reel around the fountain. it still makes me cry. lots of fond fond memories.

however, they are all pretty fantastico. which is pretty rare i'd say.

[lizzieloo]

Guns and Roses, better than the Smiths

Panties 'round your knees
With your ass in debris
Doin' dat grind with a push and squeeze
Tied up, tied down, up against the wall
Be my rubbermade baby
An' we can do it all
