The Smiths produced some of the funniest songs ever to grace the world. As has Morrissey in hi solo years. Take That; Robbie - now there's something to truly get the razor blade out for.I like quite a lot the Smiths and Morrissey stuff. He's a brilliant lyricist IMO. It's just that I find some of the tracks and his dreary voice depressing and mundane. A bit like eating porridge everyday with a razer blade in my hand.

Fair enough bud. Perhaps I should have done a top 10.To be honest mate, I was going to put them instead of Oasis. Cranked up really high, Boston Babies and Runaway are all brilliant tunes. I also thought about John Cooper Clarke.
Here ya go: )Not even a mention yet of A Certain Ratio? Ahead of their time. I tried to upload Do the Du but failed.
Auditioned for a band Simon drummed with when I was 15. It was in Ashton hence the link, didn't know he was from Failsworth. Got the gig but my dad wouldn't let me take it despite him being a muso himself. In hindsight, he was right but I was pissed off at the time.Simon Wright lived in Failsworth along with Darren Wharton (Thin Lizzy). ; )
