Other than the additional benefit of having an additional guitar and keyboards, how do you feel the Lads perform on Smiths material over the years? Are there any particular covers done from 1995 until now which you feel hold up equally well to those original Marr recordings, or perhaps a rendition you feel Boz and company manage to breathe new life into?
Here is a list of some Smiths stuff which I've always felt the band did quite well with:
1) Shoplifters
2) Is It Really So Strange?
3) Half a Person
4) Rubber Ring (despite Boz overplaying this one a bit too much IMO)
My least favorite is This Charming Man but I believe the blame lies with Morrissey's desire to change that one!
