[Esox Lucius]

meat is murder for me or the queen is dead.

The smiths were class

Could listen to 'there is a light that never goes out' all day.

We were thinking about going to see Morrissey when he played the g-mex in December.
Cheeky cunt was charging near £50 a ticket though, I like him but not that much.

[Insomnia]

I liked the smiths, got an album somewhere, thanks for the reminder! :cheese:

[Aratron]

im i big fan of the smiths and morrisey

i've seen Morrisey in concert in 1990 and was into Smiths back around 1987

'i've seen this happen in other people's lives and now it's happening in mine'

[weekender_veteran]

couldn't/can't stand the smiths, nor morrisey, really dreary shit imo

[Aratron]

yeah its an acquired taste

[weekender_veteran]

i dont mean to pigeon hole sounds, but of all the manchester groups, stone roses,O.M.D.happy mondays,oasis,kasiban etc, the smiths are the only group from manchester that i really don't like

[Hoth System]

Love The Smiths but played them to death. I'd only really listen to Moz's solo stuff these days (he's got about x4 as much material). Fave Smiths song: I Won't Share You. Fave Moz solo: Speedway.

Johhny Marr`s guitar leaves you cold then ?

you need an ear transplant then.

i cant say i have ever really paid attention to the guitar, but morrisey's voice just grates me, will listen to a track tomorrow and listen the guitar

[Col]

Not a fan, but i respect them. I honestly believe they are the most influential band of all-time.

eh? OMD are from my hometown of the Wirral, and Kasabian are about as manc as paella, they are from Countesthorpe near Leicester

[eyeswithoutaface]

yeah i cant stand mozza either

[Stella Boy]

Cant fault the smiths, i'll have an LP of theirs on at least once a week but I never got to see them live. Saw a live show on VH1 from Germany which looked great.

Smiths & The Cure on a Sunday whilst cooking sunday lunch is a weekly event in my house, much to my families disgust

If you like Johhny Marr's guitar playing you should have a listen to modest mouse, he joined for their last album. Excellent stuff

[dan the acid man]

One of the best and most influental bands around

[RDR]

Long time smiths fan

love the counterpoint of jonny marrs jangly almost west african sounding guitars and the hoplessness of the lyrics.

queen is dead.

[Amber_nectar]

A little tit bit for smith fans; the original bassist was curly from coronation street
