'Morrissey' effectively means Morrissey and The Smiths which could mean instrumental tracks by The Smiths aren't included but I guess you can include them if you want.

Don't know why there are 2 threads with exactly the same subject.
Maybe I am overlooking something, but shouldn't they be merged?

No Smiths songs?

That would be really hard to narrow to fifteen but I was thinking Smiths were excluded when I made the list. These are my 15 Smiths favorites right now, but I can't combine the lists. It would be too hard to eliminate that many songs. The Smiths, Rank, and Louder Than Bomb are the ones I played the most in the days of cassettes.
  1. Still Ill
  2. Rusholme Ruffians /Maries' The Name from Rank
  3. I Don't Owe You Anything
  4. What Difference Does It Make?
  5. Miserable Lie
  6. Bigmouth Strikes Again
  7. Sweet And Tender Hooligan
  8. London
  9. Is It Really So Strange
  10. I Want The One I Can't Have
  11. There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
  12. You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby
  13. These Things Take Time
  14. Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before
  15. Asleep

I'll do a solo only list. I'm tired of talking about he smiths in the same way I'm tired of talking about which Beatles album is the best

Every day is like Sunday

November spawned a monster

International playboys

The more you ignor me

Trouble loves me

Speedway

Girl least likely to

Honey you know where to find me

Why don't you find out for yourself

Alsatian cousin

Piccadilly palare

Sunny

Boxers

Lucky lisp

At amber

This list was much harder as there so much good stuff to choose from that's so consistently good. I mean songs like lost, this is not your country, national front disco, tomorrow, hold on to your friends, Satan rejected my soul, etc etc are for sure loved and made for some tough choices
 
Smiths and all the songs from Viva Hate, after that he did nothing to be remembered for as we all know.

Maybe "Now my heart is not in Fulham".
