Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

One of only two Smiths songs in my collection (they tend to be a bit, depressing or "lower sixth" for my tastes)
The other....?

Oh cr@p,just as we were getting along
I must be the only guy on the planet who believes that JM is hugely overrated.
Yes, the Smiths had a unique sound but Marr doesn't sound too great without the awesome backing that never gets any credit.
I am a guitarist of 46 years, BTW and therefore not easily impressed.

sacrilege!
You sound like my mate, Guy. He (bassist) raves about the injustices of the music world and has a similar view to you on the smiths.
I think the same about the Beatles... massively controversial I know but really... the second Jesii? "Is Ringo Starr the best drummer on the planet? Ringo Starr isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles" - John Lennon Edited 2020-01-12 21:04 by CaptainBoing
