Kirsty MacColl's version of this
beats the original into submission.
cemetary gates
YES SO MUCH
My favourite Smiths song of the whole lot.
this night has opened my penis
*eyes
.
rubber ring
has opened your rubber ring?
.
Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
Barbarism Begins At Home
i dont underrate
any of them.
well I wonder
Half a Person
Well I Wonder
All of Strangeways (except Death at One's Elbow and I've Started Something I Couldn't Finish, which aren't really very good)
Paint a Vulgar picture...
God I love that solo.
who doesn't like that!?
it's almost my favourite smiths song.
I've never heard it
erkntfjtjowtjf
Meat Is Murder should be no more than £5.
I 2nd "Well I Wonder"
12 string luciousness.
That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
never seems to get mentioned among the classics. I think it's their best song.
How soon is now.
Even though it's their popular, people who love the smiths seem to hate it.
It's actually great. Not their best. But still great.
bah
i still hate it
my winner would be...
"Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others"
I used to hate it too.
But decided I actually really liked it when I heard it recently.
There's an interesting story for you.
I think if you actually start
to decipher the lyrics, there's a lot of interesting stuff in there.
But also
Pretty Girls Make Graves.
Despite having a band and a book named after it.
Wait it didn't have a book
that was Girlfriend in a Coma.
D'oh.
that's why i didn't consider it.
but also because it's TOP FIVE BEST EVAH!!!! so surely someone else likes it the same as me?
Not many people mentioned it
last time there was a Best Smiths Songs Evah thread.
Oh well, it's great though.
Ask
Or is this 'rated' by people (I know it was a single).
asleep
is my fave smiths song
...
i want the one i can't have
jeane
suffer little children
i know its over
last night i dream't...
just
realised i put down i know its over.
ignore that as its not underrated
would you like me to
underrate it to validate your choice? (i'd be lying though).
Oscillate Wildly
Half a Person
Definitely
Stretch out and Wait
One of my favourite Smiths songs and it NEVER gets the credit
girl afraid
or barbarism
Oscillate Wildly
that just made think of modest mouse
thinks
ask
& asleep aren't mentioned often enough.
Still Ill
yeh
^
this
...
That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore, or Rusholme Ruffians
rusholme ruffians
is just voctoria wood, isn't it?
Yes
but better
I like
What She Said.
It's between
William, It Was Really Nothing, This Night Has Opened My Eyes and The Headmaster Ritual for me.
Jeane
...
Sweet and tender hooligan
Thought that as soon as i saw the title of the thread.
Jeane
The Queen Is Dead
Sheila Take A Bow anyone?
get out!
What Difference Does It Make?
i think that's the quintessential smiths song, the one that describes them best.
most people think there is a light or this charming man for the one smiths song, but i think they're too tender to be the one song to understand the smiths by
and also...
These things take time.
What Difference Does It Make?
is good, but average in the Smiths whole back catalogue
hmmmmmm
not sure! Great lyrics
Oscillate Wildly
When I refused to like Morrissey (for about 4 years), this was the song I said was my favourite Smiths song.
