How come only 29 out of the top 50 are Smiths songs? There should have been at least 40 Smiths songs in the top 50, if not more. Most of Morrissey's solo career has been an embarrassment.

Alas, poor old Swallowneck never got to consider anyone's length when he reached the end of another weary scan through another tedious news item...

The whole 9 months of polls and discussions has really been enjoyable. It was the first thing I looked at really when coming to the site and I always looked forward to the next one going up.
Even though my 3 favs, southpaw, pigsty and maudlin street did not fare as well as I think they should have it was still a epic and worth while poll. What will we do next? :)

1. Swallow on My Neck
2. I Know It's Over
3. This Charming Man (Peel)
        Please, Please, Please Let Me...
        Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now...
4. William, It Was Really Nothing
5. Jack the Ripper (2007 US Tour Version)

5. now my heart is full
4. the headmaster ritual
3. there is a light...
2. cemetery gates
1. suffer little children....
there is not a more heartfelt song since the creation of hearts or song.

I think this poll is a joke if Sing Your Life is not in the top 100. No, its not my favorite song, but lower than Malajusted.

Please tell me I missed it.

But what about "Get of the stage" and "Found, Found, Found"?
Should've been on it. Classic Mozza i say!

Hairdresser on Fire, not in the top ten?????

am i the only one saddened by the fact that Trouble Loves Me only made number 30? It's as good as "Now my Heart is Full" and certainly one of his top 5 solo songs...

Exactly right

My compliments and profound awe to all involved
