Rowland S Howard is cooler than Nick Cave.

I agree that R.E.M are really overrated, but the Smiths fuck no. Hatful of hollow anyone ? :mad:

EDIT: I see how the Smiths can be exasperating (as swa(y) said it's mainly because of Morrissey) though, and off course some of their music doesnt age well (80s obliged).

Yes, (but I guess many people agree on that here).

Robert Smith said something like "whenever I hear Meat is murder I want to eat a big steak", and he might have a point :D I still like the music though.

Oh also I forgot to post my own very unpopular opinion: The Velvet Underground & Nico is said band's worst album.

yes.

He should know. His last name is the singular form of the band's name.

I would put Simian Mobile Disco's first album in my top 50 (if not top 20 ?) of the decade

i would put clap your hands say yeah's 1st album in my top 10 ever

Agreed, easily.

Then again, I never thought Nick Cave was THAT cool, outside of his Birthday Party/early Bad Seeds days. Still a great songwriter/vocalist anyway.

The smiths are one of my favorite bands, Hatfull has to by most loved record all time but I can't stand meat is murder

I don't listen to The Smiths much now but when they first emerged they had a massive impact on me. They were like my Nirvana I suppose, which is part of the reason why i'd never criticise Nirvana to a Nirvana fan. I can appreciate that they meant something very important to them at one point and that even if that moment has passed, they remain significant on a very personal level and that my indifference towards them means far less than their passion.

i cranked meat is murder at a mcdonald's drive in once... while i was waiting for my cheeseburger.

Lulz.

I can agree with Morrissey being a twat, but the Smiths are really one of the best pop bands ever. They really had some great tunes.

That's very punk of you but also a great action.

I think I might be the only vega smiths fan who hates that album....

I think I might be the only Smiths fan that really likes Meat Is Murder (the song.)

Barbarism Begins at Home, on the other hand, is absolute shit. Everyone seems to like that one.

I love all smiths, yes, even oscilate wildly and golden lights.

and barbarism begins at home rules

the cure suck

I only like How Soon Is Now on meat(it's also on hatful) but for the rest, it's a moaning peice of irritating music.

Strangeways here we come is tragicly underated
