Pick a winner. Last heat of the day
I’m the biggest Smiths fan there is but I never understand the big love for How Soon Is Now?. Great track, obviously, but quite boring and not a patch on their finest such as Stop Me, William it Was, This Charming Man, Bigmouth, The Boy With…, Heaven Knows… etc etc.
William, It was Really Nothing better than How Soon is Now!!
Ah come off it Thrawneen.

[font=Calibri][size=3]I’m the opposite. How Soon Is Now? was the first Smiths song I ever heard. I heard it on a compilation when I was about 14 – I’d never head the Smiths or any of their music before and thought it was a classic. I found much of the rest of their output to be rather twee and disappointing in comparison. [/size][/font]

This heat is shaping up to be a dinger as well. I suppose the diaspora may determine the outcome
I love Stop Me and Interesting Drug but I’d put This NIght Has Opened My Eyes right at the top.
Interesting Drug is Moz on his own, mate. William is WAY better that How Soon is Now, a concise and jangle friendly ,masterpiece. If you want to get into Morrissey solo tracks, Suedehead is too. Among many others. How soon is now is one idea dragged out for 5 minutes. Boring, depressing tune.
You are some cunt fagan… You entered my piss take three and omitted my original three pics.
I took all nominations at face value. How am I to know you don’t treasure Justin Bieber. And all of the songs will be included either in tomorrow heats or Sundays. So cool the jets
Can we agree that Meat Is Murder is shit?
The tune certainly. Horrible sentiment and horrid tune. I’d eat you and everyone you hold dear, if needs be, so I was never going to warm to it. The whole album isn’t the best, imo. They were over-produced to fuck unfortunately. Only the live stuff such as on Hatful, World Won’t etc. and the decent production on Queen and Strangeways is good. They fucked up the rest, the idiots.
This is a very strong heat. Hoping We Don’t Need Nobody Else can pull through.
I love How Soon Is Now. My favourite Smiths song is probably Suffer Little Children though.
Outrageous scenes here
Heats 2,3 and 4 close at 5pm
An utter travesty what’s happening to Whipping Boy here. :guns:
What cunt wasted a vote on Dean Martin here?
I’d be more worried about the 3 Justin Bieber fans…
It was me, though I prefer Glen Campbell’s version. Deano also does a cracking version of By The Time I Get to Phoenix complete with a superb video where he’s very elegantly hammered and reclining on the couch.
I’ve yet to see any of my choices in the heats. Sort that out. I’m fully expecting Wichita Lineman to romp home.
Seeing as Mr. Totti and Anto appear to be about 12 years old and CLG is possibly still knocking around, I think we can fashion a reasonable explanation for the 3 votes.
It is the jangliness of William that makes it great, though I prefer This Charming Man. My vote goes to the Clash in this heat.
