Never made a bad album, Johnny Marrs guitar playing is up there with anybody else. The lyrics, awesome, they only upset the mentally challenged. Saw them at the `Free Trade Hall` on the tour that the `sun` wanted them banned. Manchesters finest for quality and longevity.

A wonderful,wonderful Album.
Unfortunately finding out its the favourite ever Album of the current Prime Minister, Tory Bastard has now taken some of the shine off it for me.

Re: The Queen is dead
spot on!
(although I reserve my best vitriol for that idiot of a 'front man' they had who wore a hearing aid as a fashion accessory and uttered the most profound statements of vacuous bullshit ever known to Manchester)

Don't think they're anywhere near as good as people take them for.
I think they're a decent band with a few excellent songs.Banned Tosspot said:The Smiths were shit!

I know it's BM heresy, but I'm with you Darren.
The only worthwhile Smiths-related thing I've ever seen or heard is that video you put on YouTube of you listening to one of their dirges. Now that was hilarious! Post a link...

Re: The Queen is dead
You see that all depends, you are an angst ridden kid with nothing really to be angst ridden about, but when the Smiths came about there was plenty to be angst ridden about, it's more than music it's memories of a very bleak time in Manchester's history, a time of urban decay, hopelessness and change, the music kind of spanned eras, ushering us into this post industrial era, put with one foot firmly in the past, casting a beady eye over the debris of a one proud City and the people that lived in it.
If you look at them as just a band, you won't get it and will tire of them, but for those us that were in our formative years when they started to rise to prominence they mean a lot, because the music reflected the bleakness of the times
