Bouazizi Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Aaaah The Smiths. An English group from 82-87 forming of Andy Rourke, Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Mike Joyce. And in my opinion, the greatest band EVER! Every song is a blend of lyric-poetry, the instrumentals are genius, matching the words perfectly at times, and forming a perfect contrast at others. The song "Heaven knows i'm miserable now" is my favourite song of all time. What does everybody else think of the band, the songs, the people, the legacy? Quote
tinky Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Morrissey..love of my life! I hadn't been to a Smiths concert(my age,you know!) but i was at Morrissey concert in Istanbul on 10 June and it was the best concert i've ever been.His presence on the stage,his voice,lyrics..just amazing. my fav The Smiths song is ''There's a light that never goes out''. and fav Morrissey song:''Lifeguard sleeping girl drowning''.

Bouazizi Posted September 11, 2006 Author Posted September 11, 2006 tinky, marry me! Morrissey is like, my #1 musical idol...everything about his music is just fantastic! Same with me, I didn't live through the mid-80s to witness the Smiths taking the UK by storm, or seeing them in concert. I had a chance to see Morrissey himself at a venue not too far from my house, but tickets sold out SO quick, I missed out! When he was in Istanbul, was that for the "Rock 'n' Coke" show? I've always wanted to be in Istanbul at the right time to see that. Ah, I love that song too! It's my second or third favourite of mine, along with "Bigmouth Strikes Again". It's so refreshing to see another big time Smiths/Morrissey fan here. tinky forever! Quote
SympathysSilhouette Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 my fav The Smiths song is ''There's a light that never goes out''. That's everyone's favorite. Quote

SympathysSilhouette Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 no pb I should add that the fact that you know and love the Smiths only puts you in higher regard as far as I'm concerned. Not that I'm deluded enough to think that anyone really cares about my opinion of them. Quote
Bouazizi Posted September 17, 2006 Author Posted September 17, 2006 SS, do tell! I want to hear your opinion. Quote
SympathysSilhouette Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 SS, do tell! I want to hear your opinion. I just did. I told Tinky that her love of the Smiths is something I appreciate in her. I was referring to people not caring about my opinion of them, not my opinion of the Smiths themselves. Quote
Bouazizi Posted September 17, 2006 Author Posted September 17, 2006 Oh I seee! My bad. I've been in that frame of mind recently, where I can listen to nothing else but the Smiths...partly what inspired me to create this thread. Quote
Bouazizi Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 One of the best bands ever. I'm going to a fancy dress party next weekend, and the theme is anything begnining with the letter 'M'...no doubt who I'll be there as. Quote
Caroline Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I should.......... kill myself !!!! I'm Moz/The Smiths fan number one and I've been missing this thread ???? I love the lyrics of each and every song they've made. I think "Shoplifters of the world unite" is my favourite song ever . And "This Charming Man"....... I love that video ! Moz..... love of my life !! Quote
AnaBB Cover Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 This thread deserves a bump. I love the lyrics. My favorite song is "that joke isn't funny anymore". Bouazizi, tell us all about the party. Quote
MattLoveModels Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 I just discovered them a few weeks ago and I have to say that they're one of the best bands ive heard Quote
Chaky Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Bigmouth Strikes Again(This isn't the real video btw.)Stop Me Quote
Bouazizi Posted August 8, 2007 Author Posted August 8, 2007 This thread deserves a bump. I love the lyrics. My favorite song is "that joke isn't funny anymore".Bouazizi, tell us all about the party. Re-bump'd. Haha, seems like a long time ago now, but the party went well! Apparently I was quite a convincing lookalike. ...except to those who kept saying, "Who's Morrissey?" I think I prefer people who hate him to people who don't know him. <_< Anyway! I had the glasses, the open shirt, the medalion type things....the only thing(s) I was missing were the flowers. Quote
