Sometimes I think The Smiths peaked with the first track on their first album

1. Pretty girls make graves 2. This CharmingMan 3. Still Ill Best songs on the album

Classic album

I know some white people who bought a brownstone on about 104th street in the 80s and more white people started to move in and then there was kind of a cross over to black music and I wonder if what you heard was part of that. I'm only talking sociology, don't all pile on please.

The Smiths correlated more or less with my time at Uni in the 80's, my favourite band as a student and loved them ever since ! Mind you what I learned about the way M and JM tried to rip off Rourke and Joyce left me less than impressed tbh - not cricket !

1-Reel Around The Fountain (00:00) 3-Miserable Lie (09:57) 6-This Charming Man (22:47) 7-Still Ill (25:30) 8-Hand In Glove (28:50) 9-What Difference Does It Make (32:14)

Faz hoje 40 anos "Mas como o vinho do Porto, quanto mais velho melhor”

Happy 40th anniversary of this album's release. It changed everything for me.

Happy 40th Anniversary

Frankie Energy da oggi il mio mito

Am a late bloomer when it comes to the smiths but know am listening to all there albums repeatedly 💯 real

I WOULDNT SAY NO

Thank you for uploading.

Is there a lot of molestation references in this album?

👾👽

amazing

No other singer can put this much emotion into their voice

I bought this in 1984. Still as powerful today.

Literally legendary! Masterfully crafted stuff right here

<3

i know they weren't happy with the production but i think 10 and 11 sound great...

John was such a pro and to get the Mix to sing and write along with the rest of the band will always be timeless such good early post punk rock art

Morrisey@ the HRL 10.08.23! I'm about that Moz life!

My first intro to The Smiths when this came out. on cassette. I love it!!

Last one 🤭🤭

This is awesome. Would you consider Hatful of Hollow? 🥰🖤🥰

The songs that stick out to me on this record rhe most are Hand In Glove, What Diference Does It Make, This Charming Man, Dont Owe You Anything. The rest of the album doesn't do it for me sadly. Don't get me wrong, the band sounds great and they are a timeless act. But the songs only got better as the years went on. For a first record they did a good job.

Altro che i tempi d'oggi raiz era tt nata storia

Talk about an album that doesn't need to be "remastered." Chat amongst yourselves. To quote a hilarious fan, " Morrissey has his dinner in his back pocket.." Let's not forget the unnecessary, purely cosmetic, hearing aid, either. Here's a neat trick-- put the live, "Cosmic Dancer" on. The one with the duet of Morrissey and David Bowie. It's beautiful and highlites post Smith's stuff as well. Not to mention hero friendship :) Honorable mention: Live version of, "The First of the Gang to Die." Ok, yeah, heavy stuff. Come back to Earth with, "My Love Life," "Tomorrow" and "National Front Disco." 🎉

I Love The Smiths...simplemente Geniales...

Grande album, lui molto meno

It's so rare that I love nearly every song on an album - any album - on the first listen. And they've only gotten better on repeated listens. As a bass player, I found the band via Andy Rourke. But I can't help but be floored by Marr and Morrisey. I'm almost never wowed by vocalists but man this guy is special. This is a very special band. From what I read about Morrisey, he knew it too, and wasn't shy about voicing that.

First I heard this I was in a lorry eating crisps with some mates near the bloody council houses where I lived with my mum and gran. We lived in Crippled Ram near Bustingnut back then, and we'd take the double-deck bus from Stocking to Upper North Southington to get our hair flattened and have our trousers waxed before footie. We'd follow up with having cheese pudding and biscuits for late tea.

¿Que pasa con este canal que subió tan pocos videos?

The Smiths,...pura crema padrino!

Recién he encontrado esta obra maestra... ❤

This record changed my life at 22 years old..... As did U2 and REM debuts. Don't get me started on the Clash. World changing

Cheers to Andy Rourke, an amazing musician. Rest in peace. You gave the world a wonderful gift🎸❤️

RIP Andy Rourke 😓

RIP Andy Rourke (1964 - 2023).

25:29 Still Ill is the centerpiece of this album, to my ears. This Charming Man is amazing, but Still Ill has a certain bleakness to it set atop that wonderfully meandering guitar. Ah, and when it all comes together for the chorus "...oh, am I still ill?" Love it.

best Smiths album this. This just sums them up. Jovial

Wow wow wow toutes ma jeunesse, je vais avoir 50 ans au mois d août Profitez de la vie les gens, ça passe tellement vite.... vive la vie

40 years have passed. But the heart beats always as the old times. God blesses this music.

sublime

Love IT!!

As merry as the days were long I was right and you were wrong Back at the old grey school I would win and you would lose But you've got everything now You've got everything now And what a terrible mess I've made of my life Oh, what a mess I've made of my life No, I've never had a job Because I've never wanted one I've seen you smile But I've never really heard you laugh So who is rich and who is poor? I cannot say...oh You are your mother's only son And you're a desperate one Oh... But I don't want a lover I just want to be seen...oh...in the back of your car A friendship sadly lost? Well this is true...and yet, it's false Oh... But did I ever tell you, by the way? I never did like your face But you've got everything now You've got everything now And what a terrible mess I've made of my life Oh, what a mess I've made of my life No, I've never had a job Because I'm too shy I've seen you smile But I've never really heard you laugh So who is rich and who is poor ? I cannot say...oh Oh... You are your mother's only son And you're a desperate one Oh... But I don't want a lover I just want to be tied... oh...to the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car To the back of your car Oh...
