I really really like The Smiths as well as their respective solo careers, particularly Morrissey's, but the adulation has gotten a bit out of hand lately. No, The Smiths are not even the greatest _English_ band of all-time much less worldwide. The Stones, Kinks, Who, and Zeppelin all top them. I was watching the Morrissey: The Solo Years doc here on UA-cam a few weeks past and some of the British critics were saying that Moz is "like Dylan". Whoa whoa whoa, let's dial it back a few hundred notches people. Moz is a *superb* lyricist, but not comparable to Dylan or the actual greatest lyricist of all-time, Morrissey's countryman, Ray Davies.

I love Morrissey like no other. Its funny because I used to think he was ok but coming back and listening as an older person his music just speaks to me. I used to prefer Depeche Mode and the Cure. Both are lightweight in comparison now.

Yes. Realistic. Stylish. Literary. Strong. Vulnerable. Funky (Andy Rourke). Perhaps the first ever glam meets punk. Inspirational. Therapeutic. Stop me.

No kidding

Johnny was THE guy who was able to sound totally "pre-Hendrix" in a pop context, and he succeeded _prolifically._ Peter Buck and a few others made similar progress in the same era, but Marr (whether he knew entirely what he was doing or not) sounded supremely "in command" of the guitar+amp+song - as though everything was both _sorted AND sublimely spectacular all at once, all the time._ Dude just NAILED everything, exactly right.

Ridiculous! They are one of the worst bands ever

It's soft. It's a step down from Wild Honey. But I like Dennis Wilson's songwriting development started with this album.

Probably

No. But were they great? Yes

One of….

Maybe if you’re 30 still live with mom and work at hot tooic

A little bit of trivia on Santana at Woodstock. Carlos Santana just an hour before they went on stage they they each had dropped LSD and were tripping that is one of the reasons why it ended up being epic. That day they had captured lightning in a bottle the rest is history.

For me personally they were a big influence first hearing them on Australian radio JJJ in the 80s. They had little commercial success in Australia and most Australians still have no idea who they are. I think they never got any radio play except for stations like JJJ who played a lot of alternative stuff and I attribute to this to a show we had at the time Countdown which played music videos of all the popular hits at the time and the Smiths was too alternative to the pop music at the time and they had really bad music videos. I still think The Queen is Dead and Meat is Murder as two of the greatest albums in my record collection and their hits still are just as good and still just as out of time as they were when they came out in the 80s and I always felt their music felt like it was a blend of new wave and British 50s and 60s pop. They were original and their songs sang about teenage angst which was poignant for many in that era, their words were deep and it reflected loneliness, search for love. It was raw and real and I guess their songs are as relevant to the youths of the 90s, the 2000s, the tweens and today and most likely tomorrow. Morrissey went on to have a successful solo career but that lightening in a bottle between him and Johnny Marr was gone. I saw him a few years back at a concert at the Sydney Opera House. My expectations were high. Morrissey was late, very late and all I can remember was son getting freaked out at those crazy vegetarian meat is murder videos Morrissey would force his audience to watch. One should never meet their idols. For some us, they are the greatest and I think every greatest band has usually comprised of not one but two musical geniuses. But everyone knows it’s the Beatles but The Smiths, which no one has heard of downunder has always been a close second for me anyway

People who don't like his music just don't have the taste for it and that's perfectly fine. You kinda have to be into psych rock to like him, which I do.

Wtf do all the Tame Impala haters just spawn here when someone agrees with them.

*I think that The Smiths and The Exploited have so many musical and lyrical similarities that it borders on the uncanny*

❤I love her voice her songs all have meaning. Love Shania

you guys have it all wrong you should of watch the documentary first

Those who like Tame Impala also like dongs.

Absolutely underrated. One of my favorite things is listening to this album a cappella, and then only instrumental. Really shows the small details in the writing.

Tripping "billies" stands for "hillbilly" hippies on acid/shrooms dancing at the shows.

Life-changing band

Absolutely yes❤

Yes

Where is Ice & Dixon!? No new video in 3 weeks!? 😢

No its one of the best bands ever

Tame Impala is hella mid.

Yeah ? Never heard of .... Not a single one song as good as the Beatles...

JTR is terrible. It’s gotten a rebirth in fandom because how rare it’s played. Dancing Nancies is not a deep cut. You are someone that liked DMB, but never were into them. Definitely never in touch with them live and that whole scene. This whole podcast is cringy because you pretend you are something that you are not, a Dave Matthews Band fan. You are like a “deadhead” saying Touch of Grey is the best GD song. Say Goodbye Two Step The Stone Halloween The Last Stop

great analyization here. this video deserves more views

No one in the history of rock/pop music came remotely close to doing anything like this album. The creativity is insane. I heard the Beach Boys do 'Little Bird' live. Dennis stepped out from the drums and took front center. It was incredible.

Satanna waa mind blowing in this live cut

When he plays live, it’s not just the women who pay homage, it is the men as well! In fact probably more so!

I love the Smiths. 👍❤️

Is there a finer opening riff to a song than this charming man ? I cant think of one . The smiths were incredible really ..

No

for some reason it sounds like Katy is sounding like she trying to sound like early Lady Gaga only with worse lyrics.

As a Swiftie, I am completely satisfied! I’d say her sold out shows and billionaire status prove that she was right to give HER fans what they wanted. Charlie XCX and Chappell Roan are doing the same. They are not doing broad pop songs designed as a big net, like Katy just did and missed big time.

It's a bop. Your opinion is your opinion. Stop looking for internet clout by riding on a hate train. Do better.

Love them!!! ❤❤❤

I think you two need to actually watch the movie and learn how the decisions were made. The only way to make money is to sell the single. By having stars in as many genre’s as possible, you increase the number of buyers who will buy the album. This isn’t rocket science.

... Yes they are !!! (french men - 68 in 2024) ... But THE MOZ is greater, THE MOZ is just THE MOZ, nothing to say more, the rest here is just bla bla bla, it doesn't matter ... Sorry guys, "good try" (The Moz said this to one of the public who tryed to reach him lol)) ... Hey "SPEEDWAY" just now, I'll listen to it, I love it so much !!! And SHIT to all the haters !!!

Sunflower could be the most underrated lp as well

Sadly, U2 are creatively finished as a group and their best years are way behind them. Their best albums were their 1980s catalogue. The Joshua Tree is a good album but not great. In 1987 which was a very competitive year for music with better released albums then the Johsua Tree such as Bruce Springsteen's Tunnel of Love, Def Leppard Hysteria, Michael Jackson's BAD, Prince Sign of The Times, John Mellencamp Lonesome Jubilee, INXS Kick, Midnight Oil Diesel & Dust, Fleetwood Mac Tango in the Night, George Michael's Faith, Guns & Roses Appetite for Destruction, Whitney Houston Whitney, Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Furthermore, U2 were not the biggest band or music act in the world in 1987. Pink Floyd and Michael Jackson world tours from 1987 to 1989 outgrossed U2's Joshua Tree tour. Also, the 3 biggest selling music album acts in the 1980s were Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Phil Collins solo and together when he was singing with Genesis.

If you want to know more about Billie’s rise to fame, watch the documentary about her titled “the world’s a little blurry.”

I’ve seen Billie live twice. I’m seeing her a 3rd time in November for this new tour. The two times I did see her, I filmed a bunch of videos. They’re on my page. And no it’s not quiet at her shows. Almost the entire arena sings along. Every word. And it’s 3 people on stage with her. Finneas, and her drummer Andrew Marshall is always there.

Billie has said she likes guys and gals, but she doesn’t like labels and just wants to exist.

Jeeze not impressed with your knowedge 🖕
