i've just started getting into them, but only really know of the classics. what are their best songs that i might not know? or are the classics the best?
All of 'The Queen is Dead' album is a classic. Brilliant stuff.
Some of Morrissey's solo stuff is great too....there's a good Best of type album with some classics on their too...Suedehead, Everyday is like Sunday, Ouija Board etc.
This Charming Man
I Want The One I Can't Have
Nowhere Fast
Still Ill
Pretty Girls Make Graves
Ask
Reel Around The Fountain
The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
aaaand....
I'll go with Hand In Glove.
I've only got the Singles collection, which is brilliant from start to finish. Although I'm told it's the only Smiths album I need by some people. Anyway my favourites from it are Panic, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, What Difference Does It Make, This Charming Man, How Soon Is Now, and That Joke Isn't Funny Any More.
There's going to be some 2 day "Smiths Seminar" in Manchester soon according to Ceefax. Apparently people are going to discuss "the social, political, cultural and musical impact" of the world's greatest band (?? "DiS"cuss).
I'll have to sit and compare them when i finally get to go home from uni. Im in my third year and have been left at uni with my laptop and very little else so that i get my dissertation done. Hence im currently lacking my copy of hatful,
Still i've got singles with me so im not devoid of smiths
Personally, although this is probably obvious from the above post, i dont like pretty much anything that i've ever heard from his solo career. Except everyday is like sunday which is good.
Seeing him live was a chore, although the smiths songs made up for it : )
personally my fave is there is a light... but i think one of the best moments in my giggin history was when morrisey opened his leeds set with how soon is now. also u cant take anythin away from this charming man. aside from singles - paint a vulgar picture on strangeways is all good

Is It Really So Strange
London
Sweet And Tender Hooligan
All the streets are crammed with things
Eager to be held
I know what hands are for
And I’d like to help myself
You ask me the time
But I sense something more
And I would like to give
What I think you’re asking for
You handsome devil
Oh, you handsome devil
Let me get my hands
On your mammary gland
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say
I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it
A boy in the bush
Is worth two in the hand
I think I can help you get through your exams
Oh, you handsome devil
Oh, let me get my hands
On your mammary gland
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say
I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it
And when we’re in your scholarly room
Who will swallow whom ?
And when we’re in your scholarly room
Who will swallow whom ?
You handsome devil
Oh, let me get my hands
On your mammary gland
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say
There’s more to life than books, you know
But not much more
Oh, there’s more to life than books, you know
But not much more, not much more
Oh, you handsome devil
Oh, you handsome devil
Ow !
