Some of us still dream, I've got the champagne waiting MAKE THE DREAM REAL!

Dave may listen, but he'll never understand.

I'm 'straight edge' but the day the old witch snuffs it, I'm gonna have a large whiskey and an even larger grin.

No RIP posts for you then when it happens, me neither

Hey people slagging the Smiths off....only about 30 years too late.

Mr Cameron is a dirty Tory scumbag, fact.

Mr Marr isn't, fact.


Where's the news story?

The Smiths are the best Manchester band followed by... Joy Division, Stone Roses and the Chameleons.

You forgo The Buzzcocks and Slaughter and the Dogs!

You forgo The Buzzcocks and Slaughter and the Dogs!

And you forgot the phenomenon that was Magazine.

If anyone on here has Morrisseys contact details, can they ask him if the "punctured bicycle, on a hillside - desolate" he sang about was an 80s Steve Potts or Ritchey by any chance? And which hillside it was left lying on? It's a long shot, but if Morrissey can settle in sun-drenched LA and still bang on about the English working classes, I reckon anything is possible...

Given that The Smiths were a Manchester band, surely it would have been a Harry Hall?

Indeed.
Although I went to see The Buzzcocks last year and they played a short set with the original line up and Howard Devoto forgot his lines twice!

The Smiths are gods.

Yup. Bought a bargain (3 quid!!) remastered copy of Strangeways, Here We Come recently, superb stuff. The proper version of Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before pummels Mark Ronson's pallid re-hashing firmly into the ground.

Yes they were when I was younger but now I've grown up I just find them annoying twats like most pop stars. I think the only "pop star" (although I don't think he would care for the term) I still retain any respect for is Billy Bragg *cross that shit out never knew he has a BMW 7 series..*
