That's interesting about Up too. What aspects of it appeal to you in particular? |

Now that I think of it, they're better than all Smiths studio albums besides perhaps The Queen is Dead. Can't front on Hatful of Hollow and Louder than Bombs though - even though they're not proper studio albums, they're absolutely excellent.

I'm about to see Morrissey for a 2nd time and have no reservations about it, he's great, he hasn't changed, he's exactly what he's supposed to be

For most Smiths studio albums, there was a duff track in them that stuck out like a sore thumb, whether it's "Meat is Murder" (or "Barbarism Begins at Home"), "Miserable Lie", or in Strangeways case, basically the entire b-side of the record. I'll give "Vicar in a Tutu" a pass, even though it is the weakest track on TQID.
R.E.M.'s first two records didn't have duff tracks. And what is that, exactly? Last edited by SGR; 05-09-2022 at 02:59 PM. |

also Miserable Lie is dynamite in so many ways...so much more rockin', strange, and funny than anything REM ever did

I mean REM is a college band for a college town ofc they're all likeable and make kinda just nice frilly art music
The Smiths are working class English punk blokes warts and all.. Mozz may not be totally likeable but he's 100% more exciting than Stipe

I have no opinion on the matter but I voted for REM just to make the poll tied.
