When you first became a fan.....

[biru]

I don't really know. I was a child. I had always been around The Smiths... as for Morrissey... all I remember was having Suedehead. All of his other songs were in random cassettes. I seriously don't know.

Is it wrong to mention The Smiths automatically?

The Queen is Dead had just been released when I first heard the Smiths. I was a fan from the first notes of "How Soon is Now?" which I am pretty sure was the first Smiths song I ever heard.

[Disappointed]

I became a Smiths fan in a big way somewhere between You Are the Quarry and Ringleader of the Tormentors. When Ringleader came out, I was at college, in Roanoke, Virginia. I didn't have a car, but there was a shuttle that would go back and forth between my college campus, the local mall, and downtown Roanoke every Saturday. So, that Saturday, I got on the bus, took it to the mall, and walked some distance to the local Best Buy, and picked up the album.

I was 14, we still used blackboards and chalk it was hatful of hollow.

It was fall 2007, so ROTT came out the year before. At the time I was just getting into the Smiths, and didn't even know If I was going to listen to Morrissey solo.

 

[PregnantForTheLastTime]

Thousands of miles apart, on the blighted continent of North America, unbeknownst to each other, Pregnant For The Last Time and I were probably weeping in the back of our high school English classes at the same time: "Strangeways" came out just as I was joining the gang-- which at the time, thanks to Tim Broad, appeared to be a pack of morose bicyclists.

We were further apart than that. I lived in Germany at the time. I bought my copy of "Strangeways" on cassette in the music department in the basement level of a Kaufhof department store, I think the one at Lorenzkirche Ubahn stop in Nurnberg, Germany.

I always sat in the front row in English, it was my favorite class. And my name starts with an A.

 

[cesar1978]

I became a fan back in 1995.... A good friend of mine that was a hardcore cholo handed me a awesome cd called "Southpaw Grammer" After the first listen I was hook and bought the rest of Morrissey's albums and The Smiths as well....
