Come on, come clean. I know there are Smiths fans on this board, as I'm one. Anyone fancy meeting me at the Cemetery Gates and telling me the best thing Morrisey told you? Or, will Big Mouth Strike Again once more and divide the shoplifters of the world?

Laying the cards on the table, my fave Smiths album is "The Queen Is Dead". Why? It's got the funniest songs on there, especially "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others". 

 

That's quite sad. One off the best comic song writers no longer has a sense of humour. It's so ironic, I have to laugh.

I really love "The Queen is Dead" and many of their other singles. Some good jangly stuff in there.

But I find it fascinating that someone who wrote so many funny songs has absolutely no sense of humor anymore.

Never listened to them.

I only have two album, s/t and Hatful of Hollow, but would still count them among my top 80's faves. its been a long time, but i remember their show at the Greek Theater in Berkeley quite well. Morrissey is a brilliantly clever lyricist full of irony and cutting wit. It didn't hurt having the guitar genius of Johnny Marr either.
