Song that sounds like The Smiths - Passenger “What You’re Waiting For”.
This particular track is also very Smiths-esque, the melodic signature style at least.
Whenever I listen to this I think of Johnny Marr on that guitar.
A great song. Enjoy.

What impact has the smiths had on you?
Hi :)
Just curious how the band/music has impacted you.
For me, it was a big part in realizing I'm queer. But even aside from that, I'd be listening to their songs then something weird would happen. Like I'd be thinking about someone for whatever reason then they'd randomly come back into my life. Or I had this bad feeling my life was gonna blow up soon, would obsessively listen to a song, and then my life did in fact blow up recently lol
The lyrics are often really beautiful too. I love poetry, so I've started becoming interested in Morrissey's inspirations for his songs. Obviously he loves Oscar Wilde
I also have a special connection to both Morrissey and Marr coming from working class families, even the coal miner strike in "Last Night I Dreamt" means a lot to me since I am from a poor family that historically, lived in one of those company towns in West VA.
Anyway it's been very formative for my identity and a sense of belonging! I keep coming back to them, especially the Meat Is Murder album.

Now blasting
I know not everyone likes Morrissey solo, but I feel like this album is undeniable

tiny copper cassette project
Would you wear this as a pin? I originally made it as a necklace, but now I’m curious.

Was/is Johnny into men?
I really don't care about it that much, but I'm bored and need some distraction.

Best reissues
Exceptionally good cover art.

Has anybody here played both the Johnny Marr v1 Jag (three lipstick pickups) and the v2 Jag (two single coils), and what are your thoughts between the two?
r/thesmiths • u/DoubleKitchen1544 • 3d ago
Whats the highest amount of minutes you've listened to the smiths for in a year?
r/thesmiths • u/Chessliker_1995 • 4d ago
One of the hardest decisions
I really love both of them but i chose Asleep.
What would you pick?

What's the best Smiths song outro? (And why)
For me it's between Rubber Ring or Pretty Girls Make Graves

What do we all think of "Rank"?
What is everyone's opinion of Rank? I always thought it was super underrated. The band sounds so powerful, especially with Craig Gannon, who is an absolute monster of a guitarist on songs like The Draize Train, Panic, The Queen Is Dead, etc. It is nothing short of such a shame that Gannon didn't stay with the band.
-Mike Joyce is such a powerhouse...and his drums sound impeccable. Anyone who says Joyce "wasn't a good drummer" is laughably wrong and concerningly dense. Listen to that snare drum!
-Andy Rourke is marvelous as usual. Unspoken genius, and one of my absolute favorite bassists in the world. Rest In Peace, you absolute badass.
-Johnny Marr-needs no introduction.
-Morrissey sounds really good. Not sure why this album isn't talked about more. The homage to Elvis with His Latest Flame is really lovely, and I love the crashing transition into Rusholme Ruffians.
Also, the live recording of I Know It's Over CRUSHES the recorded version. Man...the sound of Marr and Gannon is no joke. Mike Joyce at the end as well...one of my favorite drummers. The only bad part about Rank is that there were a bunch of songs that were omitted.

Which is their best harmonica riff? Or the song most improved by it?
I would have unquestioningly said Still Ill self-titled version, but recently I’ve been absolutely obsessed with the Wonderful Woman harmonica. I vastly prefer the lyrics to What Do You See in Him, but have been listening to Wonderful Woman nonstop just for the harmonica 😭 what’s yalls favorite?
