    Ok, I was a bit harsh, The band were good musicians. Morrissey is shite.

    Not a huge fan of his solo work (some of it I like, but for the most part could take it or leave it), but when he was in The Smiths he was amazing. Fantastic voice and a brilliant lyricist.

    in fairness, he was the great voice for the confused-by-The-Fall generation, and as such, he deserves much salute

    Am going for a biggie interview soon and mulling question answers. Would the right, or wrong, reply to "What's your (non-career) ambition in life?" be "To study the music of The Smiths for a semester at college". It's the right answer, so how could it be the wrong answer?? Seriously, like. Could get an Air Supply/Chicago/Starship fan thou.

    Don't take this personally...

    Chicago's early material is great - right up until 1978 when Terry Kath died. Approximately 10 LPs worth. They get written off because of the awful power ballad sh*te they released in the mid to late 1980s.

    The Smiths were fantastic; I bought all the LPs and singles (both 7" and 12") as they were released and I was lucky enough to see them live in 1986. However a number of their more obsessive fans - then and now - seem to have very narrow tastes when it comes to other music.

    btw, I dont want to imply that the confused-by-The Fall generation were in any way deficient.

    Smith lovers are a good head n shoulders above the general plebiscite.

    In the interests of broadening horizons, took you at your word and have lost 3 minutes 19 seconds of my life PLUS half of that in writer comments. Although, in fairness, I got that longevity back in laughter :pac:. (Great lyrics BTW :cool:) http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=9803

    Where were they live in '86? First concert that year, Simple Minds, Croke Park. Them were the days.

    Hard to argue with the funky grooves of I'm A Man.

    Saw The Smiths in the National Stadium supported by The June Brides. February 1986. Was also at that Simple Minds gig - enjoyable but thought they had peaked with New Gold Dream.

    That's almost the perfect setlist. All it needs is I Know It's Over and How Soon Is Now (although I think that was very difficult to perform live and so they rarely did it?)

    Edit: 6 fcuking 50???

    Yes, How Soon Is Now? didn't get too many live outings. It did appear in the Kilburn National Ballroom set from 1986 (the one that Rank's 14 tracks were taken from). It was omitted from the Rank album but RTE Radio 2 played the full gig one Sunday night that year or early 1987 [all 21 tracks]. I had it on a C120 which broke a couple of years ago.

    Yes.

    The coke and hookers allocation has been cut due to the recession so the Mod union struck a deal for a BS thread starting allowance in the forums we mod.

    Exactly. You can blame Micky Dolenz for bumping it today though.

    You do realise that it is actually impossible for me to ban that particular user? Indeed, I think you'll find that it's impossible for me to ban most of the users that I "banned" in this thread.;)

    3 pages actually. I'll lock it if it actually gets to 6.
