If you need confirmation of my nitwittiness I have a wealth of hairbrained opinions and complaints I can share!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Nov 2018, 2:31pmI think I heard the album once, around when it was released and have no lasting memory of it.

Umbrella's are useless.
Manual transmission cars are the only one's worth driving.
Pineapple on pizza is an affront to decency.
It's not a real town unless there is a diner.
They stopped making mead for a reason, bubble technology was achieved.
It's been all downhill in America since the moon landing.

Yep can't argue with that.Wolter wrote: ↑15 Nov 2018, 2:26pmOh, the rhythm section is solid too. I just gravitate to those sweet sweet guitar hooks.Marky Dread wrote: ↑15 Nov 2018, 12:23pmI really like The Smiths and think Johnny is great but also want to mention that they had a great bassist and drummer. There were four real Smiths and they all made great music. Morrissey/Marr are only half of the story.Wolter wrote: ↑15 Nov 2018, 11:14amI’m going to try to split the difference:
The Smiths have a lot of good to great music. It is somewhat handicapped by lyrics that waver between preciously clever and mawkish.
Morrissey is a terrible person whose solo career isn’t as good as his fans want to believe it is, and his voice is very grating to a significant portion of humanity.
The best part of the Smiths is Marr’s guitar work.
Marr hasn’t done very much that is amazing outside of the Smiths.

Curfews have been curbing
