    Mad thing about the Smiths is how young they were.....

    Johnny Marr was just 22 when Some Girls Are Bigger than Others was recorded for example....

    Although you can say the same for a lot of bands.....George Harrison was 23 when he recorded Sergeant Pepper.

    I want the one I can't have, as you ask today.

    Probably pick something else if you ask tomorrow.

    The obvious Classics

    How soon is now
    There is a light that never goes out

    But when I'm in the car I love sining along at the top of my voice to Rusholme Ruffians, the acoustic and bass guitars at the start are just quality!!

    Yes and he was only 23 when the band split.

    Hard to pick just one Smiths song though, I would probably go for There Is
    A Light That Never Goes Out if I was forced to pick just one of their songs.

    I grew very fond of Please Please Let Me Get What I Want a couple of years ago when I was on a tour with another guitar player and we heard the Deftones version of it one night, decided to learn it and play it at our show the following day. I think that's the one for me now.

    This is ace. The best way to hear these two songs - on the b-side of RT191 12".

    Most of the most popular Smiths songs may suffer from a bit of overkill for me,
    For that reason I will nominate Stretch out and wait and Paint a vulgar picture.
    I know it's over is absolutely beautiful

    His latest flame/rusholme ruffians from Rank is superb.
