Right, well i'm sure many of you know who they are (UK Nessaholics i am relying on you!). A lot of the guitar riffs you hear in music today are very similar to them. The lyrics are often self-indulgent and very funny at the same time.
They were deemed as a singles' band in the 80s (don't be fooled- not all 80s music was rubbish!) but they ended up producing a number of albums within the space of two years. Marr and Morrissey really didn't get on but they wrote such amazing songs. Just because this band isn't 'new and upcoming' doesn't mean their music should be put in the past, i seriously reccommend you at least download some of their songs. I reccommend:
"There is a Light that never goes out"
"Panic"
"Ask" (d/l the live version!)
"The Boy with the Thorn in his side"
"Unhappy Birthday"
"Bigmouth Strikes again"
"Girlfriend in a Coma"
go on...it won't take long, this might be the best music you've ever heard!

ooh so that's the name of the Charmed theme song!! i didn't know who sang it, and i heard some version by Tatu but couldn't remember the name... i don't like Tatu so i'm gonna d/l the original one

the smiths were bomb of alternative future in the 80's!!! Morrissey is the shizzle. I guess that shows how young or old I am. If all you peeps know is "How soon is now" you're missing a ton! I was playing a bunch of this music this week as a matter of fact. "You're the one for me Fatty" is a great one. Go buy "the Smiths best..." Purely great tunes all the way!

This Charming Man is a great song!!!

I'm at work listening to Morrissey right now. I love "The Last of the International Playboys"!!!!
-
I LOVE the smiths and morrissey.

Its a shame that Morrissey is such a prat lately- his album is doing really well on the charts. Its so bizarre to watch him sing because his voice is like one from the past- its like he's in the wrong body, hehe.
Oh and Nerea and i were dancing to Charming Man in a bar the other day! Very fun!
