The Smiths or The Fall?
 
So which one of these two immortal English legends do you prefer?

THE FALL

toxic johnny 04.24.2006 05:30 AM

The Fall all the way... but actually in all honesty you can't really compare them with any credibility, they originated in different era's and have completely different aesthetics... they are however from the same part of the country.

But what the hell... I'm no party pooper.

candymoan 04.24.2006 05:34 AM

the smiths...

the fall never did much to me, i don't know why..

PAULYBEE2656 04.24.2006 06:35 AM

do i have to answer that slavo??

jon boy 04.24.2006 07:18 AM

you cant really compare the two. the fall are so much better on so many levels compared to the smiths in my humbe opinion.

RdTv 04.24.2006 07:27 AM

jon boy summed it up.....

no mate, I don't think so. I know you've always been a great Morrisey fan :)

_slavo_ 04.24.2006 09:26 AM

I sort of predicted that The fall would beat the Smiths big time here.
I just have a friend that's much into Smiths, so I wanted to make him feel bad ;-)))

I'm an asshole, y'know?

Hip Priest 04.24.2006 12:17 PM

Fallgruppe, of course. There's a lot to be said about The Smiths (they were astoundingly good), but in any MES vs MOZ match-up, MES's 'folk festival boys' win out every time.

krastian 04.24.2006 02:40 PM

That's kind of tuff for me. I'll say The Fall because I can listen to them pretty much anytime, but I have to be in a certain mood to listen to The Smiths even though I love them.

Rob Instigator 04.24.2006 02:58 PM

The Smiths write great fucking songs.
They are equals I say, but I voted the smiths because I do not know much FALL material.
Morrissey is my favorite british lyricist of all time.
They shake and they move me something. they're like jellyroll like sculpture..

Everyneurotic 04.24.2006 03:01 PM

i'd say wire

Fox 04.24.2006 03:05 PM

I prefer The Fall, but I like The Smiths anyway...

nomadicfollower 04.24.2006 03:41 PM

The Fall hands down.

schizophrenicroom 04.24.2006 04:22 PM

This was close. I went for the Smiths mostly for Bigmouth Strikes Again, but I don't like any Smiths album as a whole barring The Queen Is Dead.

But I heart The Fall.

TheDom 04.24.2006 04:37 PM

The Fall

I actually don't like The Fall that much, but I don't at all like the Smiths..

holy-reverb!! 04.24.2006 08:55 PM

the fall. morrisey is an asshole.

SpankMarvin 04.25.2006 07:25 PM

the fall.

HaydenAsche 04.25.2006 08:50 PM

SMITHS

RIPfrey05 04.25.2006 09:23 PM

The fall sucks, they are in hell as we speak whilst the smiths are sitting at the right hand of GOD!!!
SMITHS BITCHES..they whine better than anyone and OWN the fall who just suck and play stupid repetative shit.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 04.25.2006 09:30 PM

The Smiths are highly overrated.

HaydenAsche 04.25.2006 09:42 PM

So? They are still better than the Fall.

_slavo_ 04.26.2006 01:53 AM

so....21 to 9....pretty one-sided contest, isn't it?

RockerNino 04.26.2006 01:56 AM

i love the smiths. johnny marr's guitar work is genius.

fishmonkey 04.26.2006 05:50 AM

for me its the smiths, the fall kinda went over my head really, i know they existed but never bothered to go out and hear them.. so yeah the smiths... "and you go on you're own and you leave on you're own and you go home and you cry and you want to die" who could not like the morbidasidy of that shit right there...

HaydenAsche 04.26.2006 07:11 AM

I know. There isn't any hopes of the better band winning when every person on this forum is a complete idiot.

Trasher02 04.26.2006 07:15 AM

The smiths biaaaaaaaaaa

Shut it, cuntchops. The Fall own everyone, ever, and the Smith's suck the big one. Dickbag.

xpresswaytoyrskull 04.26.2006 11:21 AM

Seriously is there really any contest. Everybody knows that The Fall will inherit the earth once our society is destroyed by nuclear radiation. Oh and fuck Morrissey.

We are Northern white crap that talks back
We are The Fall we were spinning we were stepping
Cop out, cop out as in from heaven
The difference between you and us is that we have brains
Cos we are Northern white crap
But we talk back
Uh oh, uh oh Bang fucking bang,
THE MIGHTY FALL
The Fall, we are back, we are back

The 97th Hammer 04.26.2006 02:38 PM

Didn't the two bands take swipes at eachother in interviews? I'm sure I read somewere that Mark E. took a swipe at the Smiths and Morrisey reciprocated.
