THE SMITHS! Hate them with a passion. They make Leornard Cohen sound happy-clappy.

Ah, The Smiths. You either get them or you don't, and if you don't get them the first time you hear them you never will. Personally, I love their happy miserabilism, it's disco music for masochists.

I feel the same way; much like Radiohead, it's easy to label them as miserable - but if you actually listen to Morrisey's lyrics, his arch, kitchen sink writing style contains a fair amount of humour - albeit delivered with an arrogant sneer, which understandably pisses a lot of people off. For me, the greatest lyricist of his generation, if only for this line:

"If a double-decker bus crashes into us / To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die / And if a 10-ton truck kills the both of us / To die by your side, the pleasure, the privilege is mine.”

U2/Bono.I really don't understand how they are so successful. Average at best. Maybe Bonos hobby of collecting friends in high places has helped.

Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number--
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you--
Ye are many -- they are few.'

The Pet Shop Boys.
Morrissey- lite lyrics droned over a sub Giorgio Moroder electo track. Same old schtick over and over again since the mid 80s.

Two albums of formulaic, bleeding heart nonsense and a poorly executed Bond theme sounding like Shirley Bassey doing drunken karaoke. It doesn't matter how average 25 will be, the media will tell us all that it's the work of a legendary musical genius.


And nowt changes :D

I used to love The Smiths, despite taking flak from workmates etc for doing so - but find it very difficult to listen to them or any of Morrissey's solo stuff , not since he came out for Britain First.
I always thought he was on my side, and the side of the 'outsider' for want of a better word. Turns out he's a fascist sympathiser. Feels like a betrayal, and personal to boot.
He's dead to me now.

Catatonia (horrible wailing voice).
Bananarama (no harmonies)
Squeeze (crap, jokey music)
