There is not one Smiths song that should be disliked, every song is classic. Morrissey mid 90s stuff, gigs great, album recordings mehh
However, I think the more minimalistic version of SP that Mr. Farrell played on some radio-show a while back was great.
'Certain People I Know' - was that a joke or what?
'William, It Was Really Nothing'. I just always skip it.
The Smiths- I would say 'Golden Lights', but a) It's a cover so doesn't really count, and b) Like 'Sweetie Pie', it would be a nice song without all the echoey stuff. I agree with lottie about 'London' though: it's never appealed to or grown on me at all.
Two good songs, IMO
I'm not trying to say they're bad. But I prefer 'Sweetie Pie' and 'Get Off The Stage'. Seriously.
Do you know why they covered "Golden Lights"? It is the only Smith's song I don't like that much, and I was wondering what the story is behind it. And my least favorite song that is actually by Morrissey is probably "Friday Mourning" or "Munich Air Disaster 1958". I don't own all his albums yet, so that is just based on what I have so far.
Other two good songs...
I didn't say you have a bad taste, instead of that. I was surprised you don't like these two songs..
Mute Witness and Asian Rut.That's alright, I know you weren't trying to say that. what are your least favourite songs then?
Don't like "all you need is me." Nor do I enjoy "On the Streets I ran".
anything from the B-side of Kill Uncle
I adore just about everything Morrissey's done - I love all the songs on Ringleader, Kill Uncle, and Maladjusted. However, 'Black Cloud' is easily one of his all time worst songs ever.
Why is the intro so over done when the rest of the song is so bland? Why did a song featuring Jeff Beck barely use him? Why did Morrissey think that 'Woo ya!' sounded pleasant when sung?
If you ask me, just about all of you are overly critical on Morrissey. 'Black Cloud', however, deserved nothing but the harshest of criticisms.
Its one of my faves on YOR
