  • Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
  • Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
  • This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Completing Strangeways... (Score:1)
Morrissey has been on a trend for awhile of completing the Strangeways album live...ever since the Maladjusted tour...I'm hoping for I Started Something...but would love to hear Well I Wonder!

Both "Suffer Little Children" and "Asleep" were played live by the Smiths, albiet only once each. If I had my copy of Songs That Saved Your Live handy I'd provide references, but I'm sure they both have.

      Asleep was played live in Inverness, Scotland by the Smiths in about 1985. Moz apparently lay down and curled up on the stage during the conclusion...no-one in Inverness had ever seen anything like it! A girl i know then ran onto the stage and hugged him...good old days!
        It is a great track though, probably one of the most desolate sounding recordings in the history of music (yet another great track that was a b side for reasons known only to Moz).

      Morrissey did play "You just havnt earned it yet baby" once, Belgium 1992.

          But if "Unlovable" were on this list I would have chosen that. That song has left a lasting impression on me in regards to the first time I heard it. I was instantly hypnotized. The guitar melody is heavenly. I love all Smiths songs, but this is probably the only one that I remember vividly the reaction I had to it upon first listen over 20 years ago.

          "Well I Wonder" would be boring live- id want to hear one of the rockers.

          certainly not "Asleep" or "Suffer Little Children".

              but on balance i would probably go for 'You just haven't earned it yet baby'. It should have been a single but they went for 'Shoplifters' instead at the last minute. 'Well i wonder' is my favourite track off 'Meat is Murder' so came close, 'Asleep' is desolately beautiful and 'I won't share you' was a great sign off to both Strangeways and The Smiths but on balance 'You just haven't earned it yet baby' edges it.

                I looove Morrissey solo. And the last 3 albums are all brilliant. I'm fed up of always reading how better the Smiths were. In my personal opinion many Smiths songs are not better than many other Morrissey solo's...Sorry for my english, I'm not a mother tongue.

                          Not completely unperformed. At the beginning of the St. Louis show on his 48th birthday, he began the set singing "I've come to wish me an unhappy birthday". After which followed a brilliant set.

                          I'd rather see some more Moz b-side chestnuts - though hearing "I've Changed My Plea To Guilty" a couple of years ago made my life just a bit more beautiful.

                                I just got a copy of the 2009 Morrissey show at the Radio Theatre in London and I was surprised to see the two Smiths selections. The band kills "This Charming Man" and Morrissey kills "I Keep Mine Hidden". I was not impressed with any of the songs from the new CD that were performed live as well. I don't know what it is? They all sound a bit slow and they play like Morrissey has a gun to their head and ready to shoot if they play a wrong note. What I mean is, they sound like they are not being creative onstage{no spontaneity} and that they are bored to death doing so! I noticed that they never smile when they perform live onstage either? There are two things that will help sell out some of these upcoming shows: A} Keep Boz and fire the rest and B} Keep Boz and get Johnny, Mike and Andy back. Its time for all Moz fans voice your true opinions and stop hiding what you really feel about his music.
