Morrisey's a bit of a dick but The Smiths were an amazing band. I can't deny that. Absolutely incredible pedigree, they were around for what, four years?....classic albums, loads of superb songs. Johnny Marr is the most under appreciated guitarist of all time.
Favourite songs (there are so many but)....
There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
Panic
How Soon Is Now?
Rubber Ring
Bigmouth Strikes Again
The Boy With the Thorn In His Side
absolutely brilliant band. Marr is awesome, so happy when I saw him on LATG dvd (in one of the special features)
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
You might want to limit the insults if you'd like responses, for future reference. How old are you??
Yes, the Smiths were a great band, one of the greatest in my opinion. Morrissey is a true musical genius, or more specifically lyrical genius. But he/they are not for everybody. Most Americans just don't get the Smiths in the same way I suppose that most Brits don't get Springsteen.

Wow, what a great way to sum that up. I'll have to save that for reference in future Smith's conversations.

I read today that Morrissey is not going to tour Canada this year because he does not agree with the seal hunt, what a dickhead, get over it the seal hunt goes on every year and is not going to stop. i dont eat seal myself but lots of people do, and i don't think he should deprive his fans of seeing him in concert because of a seal hunt. just my opinion.
and for the record his solo stuff bores the shit out of me.
Who cares if the world is going down the toilet? Eddie Vedder got his mojo back!

The best part is were he compares the seal hunt to the Nazi gas chambers.
The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego, and their mission in this world is Bad Shit.
