Your combined Morrissey/Smiths Top 20 songs

[Tea with the taste]

Yes, I too had another 30 or so painfully left out…… in fact many more ….. to try to assuage the pain I think I’m going to list the next 30 …. can’t stop myself …….. sorry!

Half a person

Istanbul

The boy with the thorn in his side

Vicar in a tutu

Rebels without applause

When you open your Legs

My Hurling days are done

Let me kiss you

The world is full of crashing bores

Why don’t you find out for yourself

Drag the river

Home is a question mark

Saint in a Stained glass window

Staircase at the university

I want a boy for my birthday

I’ll never be anybody’s hero now

Dear God please help me

I like you

Never played symphonies

Last of the famous international Playboys

I want the one I can’t have

Bigmouth strikes again

It’s not your Birthday anymore

Heaven knows I’m miserable now

Girlfriend in a coma

Driving your girlfriend home

Something is squeezing my skull

The youngest was the most loved

To me you are a work of art

I am Veronica

Yes, that feels a bit better now…. Maybe list your 30 left out too, Alchemist?!

Maybe we could all just list all of Morrissey’s and the Smiths’ bloody brilliant songs. We could all do it!

Am I going mad? It’s been a long time coming I suppose …….

 

[gordyboy9]

so many great songs in these lists,poor tony the pony didnt make the cut.

 

[The Alchemist]

Yes, that feels a bit better now…. Maybe list your 30 left out too, Alchemist?!

It does feel so much better to include the ones that had to be left out....

It's like being asked to choose your favourite children.

Here are the incredible songs which I had to exclude because of loving other ones more:

Jeane
Girl Afraid
These Things Take Time
Barbarism Begins At Home
Handsome Devil
Nowhere Fast
I know It’s Over
Cemetry Gates
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Half A Person
Rubber Ring
Stretch Out And Wait
I Won’t Share You
Panic
Ask

Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together
Reader Meet Author
Sister I’m A Poet
Lifeguard On Duty
Billy Budd
Speedway
Alma Matters
You Have Killed Me
Spring-Heeled Jim
Good Looking Man About Town
Home Is A Question Mark
Suedehead
Jim Jim Falls
Everyday Is Like Sunday
Life Is A Pigsty

There is a very good chance that Saint In A Stained Glass Window will swap out one of those on the original list shortly.... it's that great (to me)

Annnnd relax.....

 

[Dorothy]

So difficult! And subject to change depending on my frame of mind:

Rusholme Ruffians
I've Changed My Plea to Guilty
I Don’t Owe You Anything
Saint In a Stained Glass Window
Blue Dreamer's Eyes
I know It's Over
Handsome Devil
I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday
Pregnant For The Last Time (probably because of the video)
The Last of the Famous International Playboys
Pretty Girls Make Graves
Sing Your Life
Trouble Loves Me
Now My Heart Is Full
Rubber Ring
My Hurling Days Are Done
Why don't you find out for yourself
I'm Not Sorry
This Night Has Opened My Eyes
Reel Around The Fountain

 

[gordyboy9]

looks like im the only one who likes kit,good thing about these list is that theres a wide variety of songs.

 

[The Alchemist]

Reflecting on this, it's a testament to how unbelievably strong The Smiths canon is that I have listed my 25 favourite tracks and they do not include How Soon Is Now, or This Charming Man - two absolutely incredible and iconic songs.

 

[Redacted]

I am going to just say The Queen is Dead and Bona Drag for now because I can never pick between my favorites

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Off the top of my head, in no particular order:

There is a Light

Still Ill

I Know It’s Over

Never-Played Symphonies

Now My Heart Is Full

Please, Please…

Sunday

Paint a Vulgar Picture

Back to the Old House (Hatful)

I Won’t Share You

Well I Wonder

Ouija Board

Seasick…

Heaven Knows…

Boxers

Trouble…

We’ll Let You Know

Some Girls…

The Public Image

Blue Dreamer’s…

By mere coincidence, I happened to pick ten Smiths and ten Moz. Fantastic.

Edit: managed to forget We’ll Let You Know. So swapped Maladjusted for that one.

First of the gang to die
You Have killed me
Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me

[uwotm8]

Couldn't think of many contenders from world peace onwards unfortunately but think rebels without applause is great it would be one of my favourites of his post 2010 songs ..the production on the studio version is a bit strange though .. hopefully he releases one of the two new albums soon!
