What is /mu/'s opinion of the smiths? Love em? Hate em? (Morrissey is a twunk daddy but that is story for a different time)
>>118329973too based for this world
>>118329973they're great.
>>118329973i love all the threads making fun of morrissey's weightalso i blasted the queen is dead with my british bf the day she died last year, had a big phase in high school but been slacking on my smiths enjoyment in recent yearsTQID > SHWC > MIM > s/t >> any of the compilations
>>118329973Among the best bands of all time. Morrissey is a living legend.
Is it "The Smiths" or just "Smiths"
>>118330142Le Smyths
IM REALLY SERIOUS
I WAS STUFFING MY FAT FACE WITH AN APPLE PIE AND HEAVEN KNOWS I'M FLATULENT NOW
>>118329973I hate the British and all their endless forcememed Britslop but The Smiths were legitimately great.
>>118329973one of the greatest bands of all timealso Morrissey is one of the best songwriters in history, and is a natural-born artist
>>118329973The Cure is better
>>118331141not according to heterosexuals
>>118329973I don't listen to them.Their music sounds too whiny and sentimental for my taste.No I'm not a metalhead, inb4 you say so.
>>118330481KEEK
>>118331508>Their music sounds too whiny and sentimental for my taste.that's why you should listen to solo morrisseyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIUv9gdejhUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJk2JhviXI8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqXb90RPaZMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyau9yrnobY
I Cannot Fucking Wait Until Morrissey Dies yeah
me and my bf's song is reel around the fountain
>>118332053Do you listen to it while sucking each other's dicks?
>>118332088unironically yeshe's british so he already was fairly aware of their cataloguewe listened to the queen is dead the day she died and sang along to every songi love that twink fag like u wouldnt believe
>>118329973Tightest songwriting around, they'll be relevant a hundred years from now. Morrissey embodies eloquence.
>>118332096wow, incredible! next time, keep your faggotry to yourself champ xoxo
>>118332314>he says in a smiths thread
>>118332040>T. Chinese
>>118332096Wholesome
>>118331523That stuff sounds quite ordinary.One track is like doing a Clash song in the 90s.They all sound like replaying recipes that have already been done.It's like doing the Manic Street Preachers sound with Morrissery's voice.Some even sound a bit like an emo version of buttrock. Like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyau9yrnobYI guess if you were already a huge fan these sound interesting to you. But for someone coming from a non-Smith background they sound like things I've heard before, but done with his voice.
>>118329973i remember i didn't wanna listen to them because i thought they were tumblrcore shit for girls, then i listened to the queen is dead and they became my favorite band.
>>118332431based>>118332415<3
>>118332431That was mcr and paramore for me. Never knew anyone that listened to the smiths or talked about em growing up.
>>118329973Only fat girls and latinx listen to this crap
>>118329973>listening to The Smiths past the age of 15
Would be better if women weren't allowed to listen to them or Morrissey was more hostile to women in general.
Some of their songs are corny while others are extremely good. I just wish I had a bf with whom I can listen to the queen is dead
>>118333648Which songs would you consider corny?
>>118334073Meat is murder for example
>>118334192Only corny because it's just stating facts
>>118332428shut the fuck up, why would anyone care you can’t enjoy things, we’re not your mum
>>118334192Yeah, that is one of their worst songs. The rest of that album is pretty okay, I prefer either their debut or queen is dead
>>118333509Morrisey loves women... irl all his best friends are women, his best pal of over 40 years is a woman, he dedicated his autobiography to an ex gf, and he considered his mother to be the light of his life. He doesn't hate women at all - just midwits, normies and people who aren't deeply interesting creative intellectuals. Sorry to burst your 80iq incel worshipping bubble, but he'd probably strongly dislike you (and everybody else on this thread)
>>118334839and that's why he'll never be great
>>118329973>>118330481Johnny Marr is aging well for a man pushing 60He went from looking like a 14 year old lesbian to a mildly fuckable wine aunt
>>118334899Are you saying that you'd do him?
>>118334910Yeah I'd shag him. He looks cheeky. short skinny guys get overlooked, they're usually full of energy and easier to pin down/wrestle withmorrissey otoh no, I bet he's a lazy bastard who just lays there and expects you to get him off while complaining about mortage rates and how next door's cat keeps shitting in his garden
>>118334839This is trueMorrissey isn’t based just bc he agrees with chantard political & social opinions (he largely doesn’t, except the immigrant stuff)But what makes him so lovable, among other things, is his unflinching and uncompromising authenticitythe man is completely shameless in always being himself absolutelyhe is entirely his own thing, and his stuffy detractors who whine about his non-conformity to the status quo, only wish they could have a fraction of his natural talent and artistic visionThere never was and never will be another Morrissey, but there will always be plenty of boring cookie-cutter indie artists who parrot all the socially acceptable ‘right side of history’ takes to preserve their brand, in fear of being cast out, and they will be forgotten while Moz won’t
>>118335206Morrissey is a total top daddy.I'm not even gay or a bottom, but if I was..........
>>118329973Gay, boring, no good songs.
>>118333648I agree, I like 70-80% of their songs alot but the corny songs are unbearable
>>118329973I like them, but I wouldn’t consider myself a “fan”. However, Some Girls are Bigger than Others, There is a Light that Never Goes Out, and Headmasters Ritual are among my favorite songs ever
>>118335629Don't be so hard on yourself, anon. I'm sure you're very good at fixing paper jams and making spreadsheets.
>>118329973bit gay but they have some good songs
>>118335587Really? He's always struck me as a bit... prissy. Maybe he chilled out as he got older.
>>118329973Funny that despite being eminently gay, The Smiths appeal to working class bongs in a similar way to OasisThe least effeminate football fan-types you could imagine, tend to like The Smiths
>>118335891I am kind of shitposting when I say that, but I honestly don't know how he would be in bed. I am sure it is like most people, sometimes it is good, sometimes it is bad, some people you have chemistry with, some people you don't.
>>118332431nobody likes reading personal testimonial posts. do stupid jokes or gtfo.
>>118334236Fucking pleb if you like that mid crap
>>118329973aging faggot crooner music
>>118335986I think its because they were working class, council estate kids from an immigrant culture, who said it's OK to be a lad from Northern England and indulge your emotional/intellectual side, you don't have to act like football hooligans.('A man with Southern ways' as Morrissey once sang)Funny thing is, that working class audodidact English culture Morrissey admired in his work is entirely dead now. It began in the 1840s with the rise of Chartism/male suffrage, peaked in the 1950s when Morrissey and Marr's parents were emigrating to Britain in search of a better life, and then got subsumed into the lower middle classes sometime in the late 80s.British working class values gave way to Reganism/Thatcherism - individualsm, greed, disrespect for the community, thuggish behaviour and general disregard for your neighbours. social mobility has completely disappeared and most 'ordinary' English people are actually proud of being anti intellectual, something Morrissey was warning about in the late 80s. Its a grim time to be a Bong. Kids today could use another Smiths.
>>118330142The Name of the Band is The Smiths
>>118336559you seem really knowledgeable about The Smiths, I love reading about stuff like this
ST is a great album, the rest is ok-ish
