The Smiths. do you love them or hate them?

[Tortington]

if you dont know who they are please reply "who?"

i hate their incessent whinging and things its music to committ suicide to.

[bundle]

i don't mind depressing music, but hate how all the smiths stuff sounds the same

[starlover]

i hate them too... i have nothing against depressing music (being a manics fan)... but agree that they sound the same.. a bit like an unhappy choir boy

[HappyHuggy]

who?

[starlover]

same goes for effing joy division

[bundle]

luv joy division. now that's proper depressing music. sigh.

[lilibet]

hate - sorry but he is a pretentious wan**r

[NomDePlume]

i like em, no shame. How can you not love the lyrics to Frankly, Mr Shankly ? Comic genius, albeit dark. Although Morrisey has gone up his own a-hole lately

[skerriesmum]

Love them, best band that ever came out of the 80s, pure genius.

[Angeliz]

Love them.
(Will be singing Frankly Mr Shankly all day now)

[katierocket]

love them
and joy division.

definitely a particular era though, I think you only appreciate them if you were an angst ridden teenager when they first appeared.

[tarantula]

theres nothing like a good Smiths track to cheer me up. Keep thinking na lifes not as bad as all that

[HappyHuggy]

i have no idea who they are........

[katierocket]

whaaaat?!
that's a joke, right?

[HappyHuggy]

nope - i have absolutly no idea who your talking about

[MumOfTroubledTeen]

You'll recognise a couple of their songs, I'll bet, Huggy. We're the same age (give or take a year or so) and I know who they are.

[HappyHuggy]

im 22

[MumOfTroubledTeen]

i know

[Rhubarb]

Hate 'me, hate 'em, hate 'em! Wow I used to think that Custy and I shared no common interests in music whatsoever! I still far better taste, obviously, but I agree that The Smiths should be put out of their misery as should Radiohead. Yeah yeah, you're so bloody depressed and life's a bitch, geez GET OVER IT! Whingeing whining bloody millionaires!

[HappyHuggy]

havent you got a 13 year old?

wow

[TinyGang]

I liked the smiths All teenage angst, misery and despair with the odd gladioli slung in for good measure. Great guitarist (Johnny Marr)too. I reckon it was only tongue in cheek anyway.

[Cam]

HappyHuggy, I'm really surprised that Morissey has never, not even once, impinged on you consciousness?

[noddyholder]

love them
