07.09.20 | Somehow the S/T is my favourite although the queen is close by. Reel around the fountain was my first smiths song I think and one that blew me and opened my mind to a lot more post/punk and even indie music. Still Ill is the other one I love.
The Queen are all catchy and super well constructed songs, Bigmouth, Cemetery, The light,... maybe I listened to it too much when I discovered the band...
Strangeways got better with the time
Meat is murder is the one I never got fully into.. but it will happen at some point. It's like knowing one day there will be a new Smiths album because once it clicks it will be like a new discovery lol
Hatful is one of the first vynil I got!

alamo
07.09.20 | Carly rae jepsen are the greatest band ever |
JeremiahBullfrog
07.09.20 | Polla - Meat Is Murder has some real classics man, revisit! also my dads first Vinyl was Hatful of hollow :)
Alamo - correct, i am wrong. |
Pangea
07.09.20 | i love cemetry gates too, it would definitely make my top 10 (perhaps top 5 even) |
cold
07.09.20 | The Smiths>Hatful Of Hollow>Meat Is Murder>The Queen Is Dead>Louder Than Bombs>Strangeways, Here We Come>The World Won't Listen |
JeremiahBullfrog
07.09.20 | whaaat cold, imagine having TQID THAT low? |
rockandmetaljunkie
07.09.20 | Actualy, I think you wanted to say that they are the worst... |
JeremiahBullfrog
07.09.20 | no. |
cold
07.09.20 | Just because it's 4th in my ranking doesn't mean it's a bad album by any means. I'm just much more fond of the 3 that precede it. I think I got TQID at a 4. |
cold
07.09.20 | "Actualy, I think you wanted to say that they are the worst..."
Ain't gonna hear shit from someone whose 5's are all boomer music. Well, actually, almost all your ratings. |

07.09.20 | Ok Millennial |
cold
07.09.20 | nice |
claygurnz
07.09.20 | In all serious I do enjoy this band quite a bit, although not on the cult like level of some people.
Favourite songs are probably The Queen is Dead and What Difference Does It Make |
Sharkattack
07.09.20 | Hey man cool list just wanted to point out you spelled the Cure wrong |
cold
07.09.20 | The Cure sucks |
Sharkattack
07.09.20 | Hehe that was a good one. Had me going there for a second. |
cold
07.09.20 | No, I really do hate The Cure. |
Ryus
07.09.20 | factually correct but 5 is probably 1
top 10 smiths songs is something like
-heaven knows i'm miserable now
-the boy with the thorn in his side
-ask
-this charming man
-the queen is dead
-you've got everything now
-cemetry gates
-william it was really nothing
-panic
-the headmaster ritual
but really i couldve put almost anything in that top 10 |
zakalwe
07.09.20 | Lovely top 10 that Ryus. |
Divaman
07.09.20 | The Smiths certainly deserve a place in the conversation. |
Rawmeeth38
07.09.20 | 1. I Know It’s Over
2. Boy With the Thorn in His Side
3. This Charming Man |
MillionDead
07.09.20 | Not enough Hand in Glove or Handsome Devil mentions in this thread for top songs. Though they have a consistent array of exceptional tunes. Handsome Devil, with its really upbeat swing, really got me into the band though. |
JeremiahBullfrog
07.09.20 | Raw - loving the love for the boy with the thorn in his side!
I really do have to agree the cure sucks |
Rawmeeth38
07.09.20 | I love the cure |
zakalwe
07.09.20 | The cure are bloody brilliant |
MillionDead
07.09.20 | Yes, The Cure are one of the best bands to ever do it. I don't see how you could dislike them tbh. |
Rawmeeth38
07.09.20 | Disintegration is easily one of the best albums ever |
y87arrow
07.09.20 | Not to me. There are over 500 bands & artists that are better. Also I can't stand Morrissey. |
Clumseee
07.09.20 | idk most people not super interested in music can't even name a single smiths song. and while that doesn't mean everything, it certainly means something. |
zakalwe
07.09.20 | It would’ve meant something but now it means nothing.
Sounds like a Smiths title tbh. |
Clumseee
07.09.20 | Gotta be the Beatles. Dominated the 60s, started by mastering bubble gum pop, moved on to more experimental stuff and influence countless bands. 4 talented dudes with vibrant personalities. A variety of sounds, moods, and tones due to their growth as a band and as individuals. I can only stand Morrissey so long. |
porcupinetheater
07.09.20 | I cannot fucking wait until Morrissey dies |
Clumseee
07.09.20 | how's he gonna go |
zakalwe
07.09.20 | Man is an absolute icon and a true working class hero |
Clumseee
07.09.20 | springsteen? |
Divaman
07.09.20 | Morrissey is kind of an idiot. But he made some great songs, although I think Johnny Marr was and is underrated. |
MillionDead
07.10.20 | Fuck Morrissey, but I will always love The Smiths. Johnny Marr is one of the best to ever pick up a guitar. His playing is honestly deceptively technical, despite being consistently tuneful and catchy. Despite his eventual personality, Morrissey was an exemplary singer that struck upon adventurous, forward thinking melodies and wrote clever, funny lyrics to boot. The rhythm section was tight as shit at all times. Dunno what else you could want from a band. |
ShadowRemains
07.10.20 | bigmouth strikes again might be my fav song by them |
NordicMindset
07.10.20 | 1. I Know It's Over |
zakalwe
07.10.20 | Band have done so many absolutely classic songs.
|
JeremiahBullfrog
07.10.20 | i never got the hate for Morrissey, I know he says some dumb things but the bloke has been speaking his mind his whole life, you don't have to agree but to actively "hate" him, i mean come on he's not Kanye west, he's still quite likeable |
JeremiahBullfrog
07.10.20 | also sorry but the Smiths disbanded before they ever grew to release total manure like the cure, you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain |
porcupinetheater
07.10.20 | Incorrigibly racist fuckwit reactionaries can now be “quite likeable”
You heard it here first on Sputnikmusic.com
Marr’s got some good stuff though, agreed |
NorthernSkylark
07.10.20 | spineless bastards all.
it's hard to pick favorites when there are so many brilliant ones |
JeremiahBullfrog
07.10.20 | oh come on porcupine he is still quite uh.. charming, that doesnt mean I condone his racism, i just don't let it affect my ears when i put the smiths on lmao |
NorthernSkylark
07.10.20 | and if you ever need self validation
just meet me in the alley by the railway station |
pollastrerostit
07.10.20 | Morrissey might be a jerk but let's be honest, solo Marr is little more than okayish entertaining indie-pop lacking any sort of emotional intensity. While solo Morrissey fails a lot musically, in some songs he still retains that lyrical genius and charming and captivating delivery. Speedway for example |
grandbazaar
07.10.20 | Love The Smiths
My favorite songs are:
There is A light That Never Goes Out
How Soon is Now ?
Bigmouth Strikes Again
Girlfriend In A Coma |
JeremiahBullfrog
07.10.20 | Solo Moz up to and including years of refusal is excellent |
Log S.
07.24.20 | "also sorry but the Smiths disbanded before they ever grew to release total manure like the cure, you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain"
Mozzo somehow managed to do both
anyway, Queen is Dead is their best album, & Charming Man prob my favorite song |
robertsona
07.24.20 | for some reason I hate this band *shrug emoticon* |
Ryus
08.11.23 | still true |
FREETHEGUYS
08.11.23 | probably a bottom 3 band ever |
Ryus
08.11.23 | numba one |
