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

Menopausal men, a disturbingly good description of Morrissey Fanbois.

Agreed. Though I'd probably put studio at 8.

Yes, you must be a mute if you find The Smiths tuneless

Yes, "Rank" is the only Smiths album I own that I don't love. The live versions don't match the studio tracks for some reason. Please play more album cuts and singles from this amazing band!

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.
