    Oscillate Wildly could've made #1. The Great British Public love a slice of pun-based piano loopage.

    That, or Joe Dolce's "Shaddup Your Face".

    This is the greatest line ever written. Period.

  • William it was really nothing

    same as Nowhere Fast a typical short catchy tune
    with made the Smiths so special, including the songproducer Johnny Marr, Lyricist and untouchable Legend Morrissey, the rythm twins
    Rourke and Joyce

    those were the days, emptyness I've never seen
    them live, but at those days it was totally
    different concerning media, and getting updated news about the Smiths outside the UK

    [not saying anything more about pictures, seems someone having a go at me about the slc pic on
    TQID, shame cause we had a lovely poll about sleeves, only female on Smiths [single] sleeves, I hopethe male ones come around sometime soon]

    sorry being OT

  • I can't describe the way this song made me feel when I first heard it and the way it still makes me feel. That guitar makes me ache, and the lyrics make me ache just as much. It spoke to me like I had never been spoken to before.

  • Interesting that no one's mentioned "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby", as that was considered to be a great lost single back in the day. The band went with "Shoplifters of the World Unite" instead.

    Masterpiece, indeed... I just recently purchased The Queen Is Dead for a friend who's never heard of The Smiths and they emailed me in the middle of the night explaining how their life has changed because of the song "I Know It's Over".

    In my humble opinion, that is the pinnacle of Morrissey's career. Maybe not Marr's, but, to me, Morrissey has never done better than "I Know It's Over".

    i. I Want The One I Can't Have
    ii. Nowhere Fast
    iii. These Things Take Time
    iv. This Night Has Opened My Eyes
    v. Accept Yourself
    vi. I Don't Owe You Anything

  • I would have voted for I know It's Over but then I thought that, along with the rest the songs listed, they are just too special to be "A" sides... and deserve to be buried so they can be discovered like the true gems they are :-)

  • I voted for 'I Know it's Over', which is my favourite Smiths song of all. However, as much as I love it, it would have made for an appalling single.

  • I cannot believe more people have not said "Rusholme Ruffians".
    One of, simply, the very best.
