I like both The Smiths and Morrisey, I'm a 'happy go lucky' type.

Who is not allowed near sharp instruments.

Strange that Morrisey always provokes such vitriolic responses? Whilst working in a build room at IBM I had some guy (who was just walking passed) burst in and have a go at me for playing The Smiths, he got quite upset, he couldn't just understand how anyone could enjoy his music? He left in a huff.

The best band of the 80s in my opinion. I keep coming back to them.

Maybe, but to be fair, you are obviously an Aussie. Anything that did not involve a Stylophone, a didgeridoo, or a wobbleboard would have seemed exotic and innovative to someone with your musical heritage.

I wasn't a grumpy teenager in the 80s, so I didn't like them.

"Every day is like Sunday" - superb.
"You're the one for me fatty" - funny.

Everything else; dreary an/or pretentious sh1te.

"From the ice age to the dole age there is but one concern"

Nobody comes up with these lines anymore.

As Antony said to Cleopatra, as he opened a crate of ale ...

The Smiths were quite funny in an oo-er-missus way and also very provocative. Not much of their stuff is miserable though.

The bass and lead guitars were superb.

He is such a dreary twat. No wonder his girlfriends ended up in comas.

Who on Earth would think they were the best band out of the UK since the Beatles?

Every florist in the UK during the 80s.

Quite liked their first efforts in the eighties.

Have hated everything Morrisey has done since.

Morrisey?

[Doggy Styles]

The Smiths?

Best band out of the UK since the Beatles or crap pitched at 80s students?

Dreary bunch of feckers that make Leonard Cohen sound about as upbeat as Shirley Temple.
