Some people are listing singles in the list. Does this mean they think no other song is better than the singles? Or do they just not understand the premise? So nobody thinks the singles are good songs? Here is my list since nobody has patience in this world anymore. Do I blame them? No.

Viva Hate- Bengali in Platforms (UK) Hairdress On Fire (US)
Kill Uncle- "(I'm) The End of the Family Line
Your Arsenal- Tomorrow (UK) no other song is better than the single (US)
Vauxhall & I- The More You Ignore Me is amazing but Why Don't You, Speedway (UK) Heart is Full (US) Just an amazing album HIS BEST!
Southpaw- Can't rave about the singles nore the album cuts. The B-sides of the singles were better than anything on the album Nobody Loves Us!
Maladjusted- Can't rave on about the singles a couple of cuts are on par with them (Ammunition, Satan Rejected My Soul) "Lost is better than all of them! Moz's weakest recorded moment
Quarry- Nothing is better than Irish Blood, English Heart on this record. No winner for album cut.
Ringleader- Can't say I like any track better than the singles.
Refusal- Love the singles more but Birthday is up there

Ringleader Of The Tormentors : "On the streets I ran"

[H.Caulfield]

Since the best song is not nessecary the best single, I picked the best possible single on each album that was not a single:

The Smiths - Still Ill
Meat is Murder - Well I Wonder
The Queen is Dead - There is Light That Never Goes Out (or Cemetry Gates)
Strangeways Here We Come - Stop me if you think you've heard this one before

Viva Hate - I don't think there is a room for another single
Kill Uncle - Mute Witness
Your Arsenal - Tomorrow (Yes, I know, it was released in the USA)
Vauxhall and I - Spring-Heeled Jim
Southpaw Grammar - none
Maladjusted - Trouble Loves Me
You are the Quarry - none
Ringleader of the Tormentors - Not too sure, Life is a Pigsty maybe would hav been a bold choice
Years of Refusal - When Last I Spoke to Carol


If I had to chose my favourite song from each album, that would be:

The Smiths - Still Ill
Meat is Murder - Well I Wonder
The Queen is Dead - There is Light That Never Goes Out
Strangeways Here We Come - Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me

Viva Hate - Everyday is Like Sunday
Kill Uncle - Driving Your Girlfriend Home
Your Arsenal - We'll Let You know
Vauxhall and I - Now My Heart is Full or Speedway
Southpaw Grammar - Hard to say, The Teachers are Afraid of the Pupils maybe
Maladjusted - Trouble Loves Me
You are the Quarry - First of the Gang to Die
Ringleader of the Tormentors - Life is a Pigsty
Years of Refusal - When Last I Spoke to Carol

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]
