i alyways thought that morriseys solo stuff was much better than the stuff he did with the smiths

but thats for another thread i guess:)

Shame about Morrisey, though...:(

Have you only just discovered The Smiths? I used to have some very sad conversations made up entirely of Smiths lyrics!! Thats the sort of thing that seemed a good idea at 15!

beware i bear more grudges than lonely high court judges ..................... top lyrics

but whats the song...........and no cheating:P

"The more I ignore you the close I get", If i remember rightly. I love The Smiths and Morrissey. This Charming Man has to be one of my all time favorite songs.

I resect his work both in The Smiths, and as a solo artist, but I think he's been much better working solo.

Joel

best smiths song for me was panic top lyrics and i bet simon bates never played it either
:)

EVERYONE says the Queen is Dead is the best album. Not for me. Meat is Murder everytime.....

And much as I LOVE the Smiths, I can bear any solo Morrisey stuff.

Oooooh, and my fave songs are - Sweet and Tender Hooligan & Miserable Lie. Well today they are anyway.

I really like some of the music and Johnny Marrs guitar playing is sublime at times but I detest Morrisey on a cellular level.

It is a fantastic album (but which Smiths isn't?), but I don't think it's my fave - probably go for Meat is Murder too. Morrissey is always in danger of disappearing up his own arse though. I thought he might grow out of his Morrissey-ness, but 20 years on he hasn't. Full marks for being consistent then!

Think BG meant to say "can't stand"... she wouldn't even merit Mozzer's solo stuff with one of her near-legendary stage invasions. Ah well, each to their own.

you cant stand morrisey? or do you mean morrissey?

as you can see my sig is from a certain great song.

I think the best Smiths album was Meat Is Murder. "What She Said" is a classic! :thumbsup:

"Sweet & Tender Hooligan" is a brilliant song, not too keen on "Miserable Lie" though.

Big Smiths/Mozza fan here!!

Anyone see MTV2 on Saturday night? They played something like 3 hours of Smiths and Morrissey. There were 6 videos I'd never even seen before.

Much as I love The Queen Is Dead (esp. Frankly, Mr Shankly, the beautiful Cemetery Gates and Never Had No-One Ever) I still prefer Strangeways, Here We Come, even though it is a less cohesive album.

My favourite single is probably Girlfriend In A Coma, best track something like London or You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby. Oh I dunno, so many great tracks.

I saw Mozza at the City Hall c 1992. My favourite Mozza albums are Viva Hate, Vauxhall & I and his most recent, You Are The Quarry. Fave Mozza song is either Suedehead or Every Day Is Like Sunday.

And the Smiths song Miserable Lie (off their eponymous album) is guaranteed to have me howling in laughter and crying my eyes out: 'I look at yours, you laugh at mine and love is just a miserable lie').

Loving it!

i managed to see moz 6 times last year and get a nice handshake from him :-) highlight of the year! The live at earls court album has a great sound to it.

Smiths were my favourite band as a teenager - I'm 26 now. They broke up long before I discovered them. But I can't listen to them now...they make me feel queesy. Something deep and traumatic in that.

Used to say Hi to Johnny Marr after school as he lived next door. Bernard Sumner could often be seen driving in and out as Johnny had a studio in there.

And Ian Brown could often be seen riding his BMX round near the sweet shop. Him and Squires use to go to my school.

Not interesting really...

I don't like Morrisey on his own, I heard he was shagging the Fonz's son from my mate whos a huge Smiths fan, duno how true that is though. My favorite song is there is a light that never goes out

Never actually thought The Smiths had a best or good album....ever.

:D I Love it when people change my titles...its good to see so many Smiths fans on this site :)

oh best songs have got to be This Charming Man, Boy with a Thorn in His Side, Real Around the Fountain, but my absolute favorite is Heaven Knows I'm Misrerable Now makes me howl with laughter! especially 'I was looking for a job and then I found a job and heaven knows I'm miserable now!' Spot on Mozza. Got to see him at Doncaster on the Suedehead tour and in Dec at Brighton. Both were ace and I ended up in floods of tears, for my lost youth more than anything I think!

All of them are bad

Please don't post about The Smiths on this forum. Their genius is completely lost on the people of this forum :rolleyes:

Oh, and I saw Morrissey eight times in 2004, three of which were in America :D

Wow!! That's dedication for you!!!

;) is it true "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others"? i seem to hum that alot walking round Meadowhall.

Yes, and some girls mothers are bigger than other girls mothers...... Did you know that?

My friend is in a band and did that at a gig one night, and dedicated it to the girl I was with... dont think she was very impressed!! Not the best wooing song!

I was so obsessed with the Smiths in my youth that i spent much of one summer working out and writing down the lyrics for every single they'd ever released, then finding little pictures of the single covers from NME and sticking them in a special book. . . .

. . . I think you can begin to imagine how much fun I was to hang out with as a teenager!!!

Didn't have t'internet then, with its type-a-line-into-google-and-you've-got-the-whole-song-(including-the-line-you-could-never-quite-work-out-so-just-made-up-your-own-mumble-to-hide-the-fact)-right-there-in-front-of-you-with-no-work-on-your-part functions! No! You had to work for your lyrics, then!

My favourite album is The Queen is Dead, too. Has to be. It has the best title, and in Frankly Mr Shankly, the best song. Ever. Except for Sheila take a Bow. And Panic. And Heavens Knows. . . .maybe Strangeways is the best . . . erm . . .
