Is anyone else a big fan of the smiths here?
Absolutely love them, hate Morrissey love the band...

Favourite song? Mines gotta be How Soon Is Now ?

Like all their stuff if I had to choose a favourite then it would be This Charming Man.

Another top tune. I am quite pro royalist, but I do like The Queen Is Dead. The guitar work in that is fantastic.

I think thats a very fair assessment of The Smiths. Man is a complete tool who is so far up his own bum he can't see daylight but he did make some cracking music.

Great point. Marr wasn't much better either really. Great musically though.

Robosapien · 15 Aug 2014 at 21:56

I like all the popular hits. There is a light, Girlfriend in a Coma etc.

Exactly, what difference does it make.

Same here, but one of the best tracks ever recorded.

Suffer Little Children, Reel around the Fountain and Asleep are good too. Very dark.

Love em. My favourite band. Fave track probably Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others, mostly for the last 60 seconds or so - the guitar layering and production is wonderful.

The guitar sound in SLC is outstanding. Delicate and lush, but striking and beautiful. JM is peerless at that type of music.

Heaven knows I'm miserable now is quite good.

I can't see beyond how much I hate morrisey and his voice to like any of their music.

stop me oh oh stop me

How Soon Is Now and Bigmouth Strikes Again are two of my all-time favourite songs.

Can't stand Morrissey though.

hate the band but love some of their music

G|mp · 16 Aug 2014 at 21:12

What difference does it make, top tune.

Johnny Marr is an awsome guitarist/song writer.

wazza300 · 16 Aug 2014 at 23:31

there is a light that never goes out

why do you hate morrisey though?his lyrics make the band/song
