Title: The Smiths Post by: Mr Rage on February 27, 2007, 01:56:59 PM what a great band, wish they were still going!!!
wot ur thoughts? Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Izzy on February 27, 2007, 02:03:38 PM 'I was looking for a job and then I found a job and heaven knows i'm miserable now'
I have that line playing through my head so often these days! Morrissey manages to write lyrics that seem to describe exactly where you are - amazing band, amazing guitar work Ipods should come with 'How soon is now?' as standard Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: GeorgeSteele on February 27, 2007, 04:12:03 PM Not a die-hard fan, but I do love many of their songs. My favorite is "Bigmouth Strikes Again". Johnny Marr and Morrissey were quite a team. Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: GnFnR87 on February 27, 2007, 04:13:33 PM i'm actually thinking about getting into them wats a good starter record?
Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Izzy on February 27, 2007, 04:48:58 PM i'm actually thinking about getting into them wats a good starter record? grab their latest 'best of' - its an excellent intro - 23 tracks!!! The Smiths - Very Best Of The Smiths Panic Boy With the Thorn in His Side Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now Ask Bigmouth Strikes Again How Soon Is Now? This Charming Man What Difference Does It Make? William, It Was Really Nothing Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others Girlfriend in a Coma Hand in Glove There Is a Light That Never Goes Out Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore I Know It's Over Sheila Take a Bow I Started Something I Couldn't Finish Still Ill Shakespeare's Sister Shoplifters of the World Unite Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Mr Rage on February 27, 2007, 05:34:41 PM i'm actually thinking about getting into them wats a good starter record? There classic album is " the queen is dead" u should start with that. Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Bill 213 on February 27, 2007, 05:56:39 PM Panic is my favorite Smith's tune by far.? The lyrics are about when DJ Steve Wright gave a serious news report about the Chernobyl disaster and then played Wham's "I'm Your Man"
The lyric, "Because the music that they constantly play, it says nothing to me about my life" is one of my favs.? Hang the DJ! Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Mr Rage on February 28, 2007, 03:16:24 PM do wish morrisery would cheer up though! :hihi:
Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Dr. Blutarsky on March 01, 2007, 08:06:09 AM Wish Morrissey would consider a reunion. His "lounge act" he does now sucks. What is missing is Johnny Marr.
Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: lennonisgod on March 02, 2007, 12:06:51 AM "So please, please, please,
Let me, let me, let me, Get what I want, Lord knows it would be the first time..." Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Gordi on March 04, 2007, 12:57:10 AM Oh I fucking love them! One of the greatest bands I reckon! It would be awesome to see them reform, but Johnny Marr is playing for Modest Mouse now and Morrissey doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon!
Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: BurningHills on March 04, 2007, 08:29:22 AM Blah -
the original emo band. Fuck 'em. Oh, and Morrissey is a dick. Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: mrlee on March 04, 2007, 09:05:06 AM wernt this band like the beginning of emo?
Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Danny Top Hat on March 04, 2007, 09:26:11 AM The Smiths are the worst fuckin' band.? Argh!? I don't get it - I really don't.? Morrissey has the most bland, unemotive voice and his songs are self pitying drivvel.? Everyone rants on about his shitty ass lyrics like he's Axl Rose or some shit but he's just a stuck up arsehole with a silly quiff.? If someone could point me to a single Smiths song that isn't utter wank I will give them a positive karma on the spot - i'm not convinced there is one.? Check out Muse's version of 'Please, please, please...' it puts the original to shame!
EDIT: Okay, so 'How Soon is Now?' is a good track. That one doesn't count. :peace: Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Mr Rage on March 04, 2007, 10:48:51 AM there is a light that never goes out. one karma point please
Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Bill 213 on March 04, 2007, 10:58:17 AM Panic in itself is a fucking great song....unemotive lyrics? I think the words to that tune sum of the shitty ass radio industry in a nutshell and still hold true to these days.
Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Izzy on March 04, 2007, 11:29:45 AM wernt this band like the beginning of emo? The Smiths aren't metal or even hard rock and most of their songs are done with acoustic guitars - the beginning of emo? :confused: Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Danny Top Hat on March 04, 2007, 10:13:11 PM there is a light that never goes out. one karma point please You'll have to do better than that i'm afraid - even Morrissey sounds bored. TheHypeMachine hasn't heard of Panic in Itself. :-\ Them damn Smiths... Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Bill 213 on March 04, 2007, 10:32:57 PM there is a light that never goes out. one karma point please You'll have to do better than that i'm afraid - even Morrissey sounds bored. TheHypeMachine hasn't heard of Panic in Itself. :-\ Them damn Smiths... Just "Panic"....sans the in itself. Download it...it was a B-side later to be released on their compilation and greatest hits album.

TheHypeMachine hasn't heard of Panic in Itself. :-\ Them damn Smiths... Just "Panic"....sans the in itself.? Download it...it was a B-side later to be released on their compilation and greatest hits album.? I would also add "Bigmouth Strikes Again" to the "not utter wank" list.? Sweetness, I was only joking when I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed. Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Danny Top Hat on March 05, 2007, 07:06:25 PM 'Panic' was okay. Still not brilliant, but kinda catchy. "Hang the DJ?" - hang the Smiths more like! :peace:
Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Bill 213 on March 05, 2007, 08:05:22 PM 'Panic' was okay.? Still not brilliant, but kinda catchy.? "Hang the DJ?" - hang the Smiths more like! :peace: It's extremely catchy.....damn too catchy.......if you really want an extremely wankish Smiths song, download Unloveable. It cracks me up with the lyrics "I wear black on the outside, cause black is how I feel on the inside". I mean it was a throwaway track released on a b-side compilation, but funny nonetheless. As for hang the dj.......like I said dude, imagine all of a sudden a radio broadcast breaking in with "We're sad to report a tremendously horrible nuclear accident at Chernobyl...but in the meantime, here's Wham! with 'I'm Your Man." :hihi: Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Stonerose on March 06, 2007, 06:09:06 AM Fukin great band. Half a persons probably may favourite, but then im leavin so many out, what difference does it make? Girl afraid. Wait that joke isnt funny any more is my fav definately. I fukin love this band.
Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Mr Rage on March 06, 2007, 05:09:30 PM i could name all the smiths songs and danny top hat would say they were shit, i can't win, but i should still get my karma point!
Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: SLCPUNK on March 07, 2007, 03:17:00 AM what a great band, wish they were still going!!! wot ur thoughts? One of my favorites of that era. "How soon is now?" is one of my favorites.... Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Danny Top Hat on March 07, 2007, 06:21:06 AM i could name all the smiths songs and danny top hat would say they were shit, i can't win, but i should still get my karma point! Yeah but you won't. :hihi: Obviously there's something in the Smiths because they are loved by many, I just can't see it. I want to though. Title: Re: The Smiths Post by: Mr Rage on March 07, 2007, 02:23:25 PM i like there bleak view of life, coz life is shit most of the time, but there very musical not like emo who scream!

If life is going great for you then the Smiths shouldnt be something that you can relate to However, if ur having a rough time (real or imagined) they have a song about it - and at that moment you'll understand the fuss |
