I assume you are talking about Morrisey, the Smiths are much more than Morrisey. It is about the songs, they are really good. |

I remember the first time I heard this song—on the car radio—and almost drove off the road being absolutely floored by it. Minimum 9!

Just a purely visceral reaction of MEH to Morrissey. I just can't stand the Smiths.

Well, I like this piece. Also, normally, I can't stand yodelling of any kind, but Morrissey seems to pull it off and make it sound very pretty.

I saw Morrisey at Coachella 4/17. He was in excellent voice, but he was choking on meat fumes the whole time! It was hilarious listening to him bitch about "the smell of burning flesh"  |
