I've got loads of favourite Smiths songs but it amuses me just how misunderstood they were/are. To me they were one of the great guitar pop bands of all time, there's nothing too deep about them. I think some people look for something that isn't there. |

I also think Morrissey enjoyed poking fun at his own audience but when he realised that his own audience would roll over and have its tummy tickled at anything he said, he started to do really shitty things like support Britain First.
He's a lost cause, attention seeker of the highest order. |

I like the stuff Johnny Marr did and still does but found Morrisey to be a bit conceited and didn't like too much of their stuff, whilst ackowleding them as good lyricists and guitar players.
I do like Marr's solo music though. |

Morrisey is an arse.
not just for shitting over his former band mates to line his own pockets and massage his ego, but for thinking he's important enough to demand any venue or festival he plays is meat free. Sorry Moz, you ain't that important and non tour crew make a point of bringing in a cornish pasty or meat pie for lunch, just to give you a middle finger salute |

I Know it's Over and That Joke isn't Funny Any More. One of my favourite lyrics of all time is "it was dark as I drove the point home". They're an incredibly special band. |

"I’m not a big fan but I do love ‘How soon is now?’
That tends to be the song non smiths fans seem to like.
Ah, so uncool, so vanilla then 
No, it's a cracking song  "
Yes that’s what I thought. But I wasn’t expectinga patronising comment from our forum friend.  |

Not patronising at all just pointing something out that I think is true, going by chats with non smiths fans. |

"Got to be the light that never goes out , often covered but the courteeners do it live and it's belting"
Neil Hannon did an outstanding cover of it with The Divine Comedy. There's also a lovely cover of The Headmaster Ritual by Radiohead. |

"Still Ill for me.. does the body rule the mind, or does the mind rule the body?
Shame Mozza has become such an embarrassment to his former self though "
He's certainly looked to ostracize himself.
I hear it's just him and Prince Andy for Christmas lunch at Mozza Towers this year. |

I love The Smiths and I have many favourites.
Well I Wonder used to be a big favourite but I can't listen to it anymore - I find it too emotional.
Reel around the fountain is a great song. Still ill too. |

"Impossible to pick just one!
Sounds like a Smiths B side
Had been waiting for that one to come up
That ones definitely an album track."
Think it’s the Japanese B side of ‘Stop me if you think...’
