I adore The Smiths. They were the perfect contrast to much of the manufactured stuff that came out of the 1980s. Morrissey and Johnny Marr convey a beautiful irony throughout all their music, with Morrissey's unbelievably depressing lyrics contrasting Marr's often up-beat guitar lines. However, I'm not overly sure how this will go down. As much as I love it, I appreciate that many of you could easily hate it. But anyway, I think we should all be exposed to The Smiths at some point in our lives. Track listing:
1. The Headmaster Ritual
2. Rusholme Ruffians
3. I Want the One I Can't Have
4. What She Said
5. That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
6. How Soon Is Now?
7. Nowhere Fast
8. Well I Wonder
9. Barbarism Begins at Home
10. Meat Is Murder
I love Morrissey
ReplyDeleteBrilliant I've always wanted to listen to The Smiths but never got round to it.
ReplyDeleteI chose this one purely because it has 'How Soon Is Now?' on it. One of my favourite songs of all time.
