thanks chris

everyday is like sunday is my favourite smiths song at the moment

well... morrissey song

its definitely one of Morrissey's best- and, by that token, one the best songs period.

yes very cool song

so i might put a smiths or morrissey album on my christmas wish list, which one shall i put on it??

i have recently got into morrissey having previously thought that i only liked the smiths, not quite sure how i came to that opinion. my favourite song is hairdresser on fire its amaaaaaaaazing!

morrissey was amazing at glastonbury as well!

well, all most any should do to ensure a merry Christmas, but lets see...

if yure really in love with "Everyday Is Like Sunday" rightnow you cant go wrong with Viva Hate.

ithink You Are The Quarry would look great under any Christmas tree this year, plus a Platinum Edition of the album is being released shortly with an added cd of the nine b-sides from the first three ...Quarry singles [theyre great].

as far as The Smiths, again you cant go wrong, but i'd say either The Queen Is Dead or Strangeways, Here We Come. not only are they the two best Smiths albums, they also fit the mood of winter the best.

if Morrissey's voice really pisses you off than how on earth could you ever appreciate any Smiths songs besides "Oscilate Wildly" or "The Draize Train" [their two instrumentals]. Morrissey's voice is so powerful in everything hes ever done that if you dislike it to that degree then you will dislike any song he's ever sung, no matter how much you lov Marr.

ive said it before, but the best thing about The Smiths was Morrissey, not Marr, and this has been proven by each of their post-Smiths careers. more accurately, the best thing about The Smiths was Moz and Marr together- Morrissey was Marr's muse and without him he could no longer create those wonderful soundscapes that hav made him famous. Morrissey, on the other hand, has proven that he did not need Marr, going on to hav a solo career three times as long and much more successful than that of The Smiths. idont put Morrissey on a pedastal, hes put himself there. Morrissey belongs in the company of all the greatest songwriters and music icons of all-time- Sinatra, Presley, Lennon&McCartney, Dylan, Bowie, Mercury, Bono, etc..

despite you having not heard much of Moz's solo work to make an accurate assessment, im not gonna suggest any listening. if you didnt like Kill Uncle [many Moz fans dont, though its a very clever record] or "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful" and whichever other snipets yuve heard along the way, thats fine. imean, if you really hate His Master's Voice, then theres really no point in trying to persuade you. istill cant understand how you can say The Smiths are "good" but Morrissey is "pretty bad" and other incongruncies like "I don't mind some of their material, they wrote some great songs" where in one breath you seem fairly unimpressed and the next completely enthusiastic. but whatever, iguess yule juste always be condemned to contradiction.

oh, bytheway, if there really is "only so much jangle [you] can take", ithought imight let you know that "jangle was Marr's specialty. so why was it again you liked anything The Smiths ever did and dont like Moz-solo?

well from 'you are the quarry' ive only heard irish blood english heart... and im unimpressed. its an okay song i guess... but nowhere near the quality of his other songs

and australia has summer during christmas, lol

oh i just hear what difference does it make.... brilliant song
