What is the most influential....

[boingo79]

What is the most influential Smiths or Morrissey track? A friend wants me to give her A CD for a long trip. Since my friend has no MP3 player i am very limited to what fits on A CD. I of course want to include 1 or 2 Smiths/Moz songs...Any Suggestions? She has heard some songs, but isn't really a fan. Here is my chance to add to our cult of fanatacism!

[Patske]

A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours and Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning

Not the most influential songs but the best.. ;-)

I'm always confused when I see someone dissing this song.
The lyrics alone make it a classic.
" a little higher and we're well away..."
" i need advice..nobody ever looks at me twice"
I mean Come On!

i totally agree!! moz should do miserable lie live at blackpool!! ive heard so many smiths songs live and twice as many ive not..ooh the pain, maybe he should do a full one off gig just performing what he considers to be the best smiths songs..now that would be a gig to end all gigs!!X.

in my opinion it would have to be 'last night i dreamt somebody loved me' as this was the FINAL smiths song released.simple as really.

I don't know about "Girl Afraid," but IWTOICH would be a good choice.
