Lou from Chumbawamba listening to "The Very Best Of The Smiths"

The Smiths "The Very Best Of"
The Smiths got me through the mid 80's. I'm not ashamed to admit it. Where many saw raincoat miserablism and a whingeing, faux-fey, drama queen I saw only joy, a razor sharp wickedly, caustic sense of humour and fine songwriting. Admittedly this compilation falls into the "reissue, repackage" strategic marketing bracket so reviled by Morrisey but it still hits all the right buttons. And Charles Hawtrey on the cover!

      We also like the Smiths...and we're not afraid to admit it.
