All Smiths are a 10!

And it's a 10

What a shame for you cause this song is a classic and it rocks.

This song encapsulates everything that I don't like about Morrissey.

...and while we are on the topic, Johnny Marr is The Smiths secret weapon. What a great, under-rated guitarist.

Marr has been in Modest Mouse for awhile - saw them last year at Red Rocks as a support band on the REM tour (along with The Nationals).  He was great, if not a bit of diva.

Speaking of divas, Morrissey seems to trying to grow old gracefully.

This is a great tune, not often in favor of other hits from them such as the great song "How Soon Is Now"....

Too bad the Marr-Morrissey chemistry didn't last, and too bad neither has done anything to match since.

Best. band. of. the .80's.

Let this end, please, NOW!

I would really like to hear this played by a punk band.
Or something other played by a punk band.
Or something totally else by someone totally else.
That'd be cool.

There are certainly inane comments floating around here, but in fairness to "bokey" I think his was an attempt (successfully in my case) at humour. 

I love The Smiths but when I sing in my Morrisey voice, my mini dachshunds howl.

Wish I could have seen them (The Smiths) in concert

It is so great to hear a negative comment that isn't "this sucks," or worse yet that god-awful "puke" icon with no other explanation.

Great comment, ktnsb. I'm sure lots of people will disagree with you, but you made your point well and intelligently.

Great song!

I love The Smiths! Thank you Bill for playing them occasionally. Even songs such as this one (which is low on my fav Smiths songs) bring a smile to my face and take me back to high school for a moment. Riding in the back of my best friend's Cabriolet convertible, singing at the top of our voices and in our best English accent. Or hearing "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" at the same friend's older brother's funeral. The Smiths really helped to make made my high school years (along with The Pixies) bearable, all the happy and sad moments.

Thanks for playing this. I was probably listening to this song at this exact moment 20 years ago on a dubbed cassette playing off the mini ghetto blaster I had won at my After Prom party.

Oh Morrissey, you rock my world.

I've never been interested in this band. In the 80s they seemed to epitomize a branch of pop music that I had no connection to whatsoever, and so I'm utterly ignorant of their work, save what Bill plays here. Most of that has been abysmally bad, in my opinion, with Morrissey barely even capable of carrying a tune decently, let alone other essential musical attributes rising even to "good".
All that bad stuff said, I'm pleased to hear this song. It shows that they used to have talent, passion and creativity. Although I'm still not interested in pursuing their catalog, I can at least see why people held them in high regard.
Another bias bites the dust.

Thanks Bill, you just made my day!

Heh. Jonathan Ross was trying to hug Morrissey after performing on his show last night, but Moz was having none of it.

Whoah now! The Smiths are awesome and all. But "the best?" No effing way.

I agree with chucklesalmon and tg3k's comments below, and I know we're not alone. No disrespect intended, but it's during those '80's retread tunes that I find myself headed downstream for something with a little soul. Otherwise, luv ya' Bill & RP.
