The top 5 on the current leader board is a joke!

1. Shoplifters
2. Heaven Knows
3. William
4. Hand In
5. The Boy
6. Last Night
7. What Difference
8. That Joke
9. Shakespear's
10. This Charming
11. Panic
12. Girlfriend
13. Bigmouth
14. I Started...
15. Sheila
16. How Soon
17. Ask

No weak songs, nor are there any ultra special classics. In my opinion, the five greatest Smiths songs are Light, Ill, Over, Please and Share (or perhaps Shoplifters).
