These lists are great when you’re home ill with a monstrous cold.
 
I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday
Let Me Kiss You
Used to be a Sweet Boy
It's Not Your Birthday Anymore (I used to hate this song, but it and most of YOR has been growing on me this last year or two)
On The Street's I Ran (I think this one is a bit underrated. I find Jesse's guitar playing and guitar-centric songwriting a little more tasteful and less ham-fisted on this and other ROTT songs compared to what was to come on YOR, songs like People Are The Same Everywhere, and other infamous slop he's fed us)
The Ordinary Boys
He Cried
(I'm) The End of the Family Line
Lady Willpower
The Truth About Ruth (Another one saved by the voice. I guess I like the music a bit too)
Smiler With Knife (Interesting, but a failed experiment in the end)
All the Young People Must Fall in Love (I revisit this song more frequently than Smiler with Knife, but ultimately think it's the worse track. Very throwaway. I'm also ranking it low due to it's role in making Low in High School one of Morrissey's most stylistically messy albums. While I enjoy most of that album, it just doesn't flow that well to my ears as a whole. I never listen to it front to back)

When "I know it's gonna Happen Someday " wins , you should know that it's not a particularly good set of songs. :rolleyes:

Genius = I know it's going to, Smiler with knife, It's not your b'day, Sweet boy
Good to real good = Family line, All the young people, Ordinary boys,
OK-ish = He cried, Let me kiss,
Rubbish - Work of art, Truth Ruth,
