Can't beat a bit of Mozzer Mr's O..seen him quite a few times over the years

"I would go out tonight but I haven't got a stitch to wear"

Ah..the memories of a quiff hair do and a gladiola sticking out of one's ass

No quiff these days..in more ways than one

Suedeheads Rule

Strange title that song as nothing to do with suedehead culture.My two older brothers were into the 70s Suedeheads fashion/music culture and dressed in the brogues, loafers and Dr Marten brown boots stone wash jeans with turn-up's and button down check shirts.Following Leeds with their navy Crombie overcoats with Leeds scarf tied neatly but never ever with the 'Cockney style fancy Dan' silk handkerchief in the breast pocket.

Suppose that era got me hooked on ska music as that was all my brothers played - no such culture with kids today in dress or music for whatever reason,to much imported all American culture theme.Oddly 'tho when at Away days now it's only Leeds fans that wear the majority of scarves on show which maybe reflects the age group or our historic culture of being the dreaded Leeds Utd invading hoards from the North !

Surprising I know, but can't really see how can anyone seriously consider the Smiths anything other than a slightly quirky, self-indulgent piece of nonsense (apart from the aforementioned Johnny Marr) who took themselves way too seriously? Incoming!!!!!!!!

Disagree - think equal merit goes to Morrisey & Marr.
Morrisey - words are up there for me with the great alternative views of the Greeks Aristotle and Zeno's thought school of Stoicism,England's Francis Bacon,Bertrand Russell,Frenchman Jean Paul Sartre,Ireland's George Bernard Shaw,American John Locke,and even modern Manchester pair John Cooper Clarke (Poet) & Ian Curtis (JoyDivision) to name a sprinkled few,but each to their own I guess.
Marr - riffs are simplistic,easy for kids to copy and then able to create a confident quick understanding of an instrument with many permutations.His balanced use of catchy arpeggios with simple two string melodies often layered on top with other guitar solo parts (all on top of one another) produces some incredible sound effects,particularly effective when playing live.Plenty of old style gizmo to his unique sound/style.

looks like a cracking "copy paste" from a Smiths lovein website.....

[asturianblanco]

Was the depressing songwritting WTF, appealed to bored ****s at uni! Johnny Marr was class though...

Lol the 'depressing' angle. Only if you don't actually listen to the words - have a crack at Frankly Mr Shankly, or really, most Smiths songs just even reading the words - you'll end up smiling if you get over the media-led miserableness dogma.

Morrissey and Marr were equal geniuses in their own fields. Hence why they are now rightly seen as game-changers in music history - poetry, passion and power.
