PieFacE Posted January 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) I hate anyone who hates The Smiths. I've never since fell in love with a band as much as I did when I discovered The Smiths. Perfection. (Moz is a bit of a clearing in the woods, still love him though) Edited January 30, 2018 by PieFacE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I quite like The Smiths, and love The Byrds. As such all this arguing is tearing me apart. It's like my parents splitting up! I'll go an live with Mooney in the week, and see Risso on weekends, Birthdays, and Christmas. Anywho, when I see this thread pops up, I'm always reminded of this...

Chindie Posted January 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2018 I always thought I didn't really hate that many people. But thinking about it, I really hate a lot of people. And a surprisingly high number of those are in the you seering hatred that makes your eyes burn at the very image of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted January 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Yeah I was thinking the same @mjmooney. I’d be a little more on the nose and say you, @Stevo985 must have heard these, I guess without knowing who it was - Edited January 30, 2018 by Shropshire Lad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've quite possibly heard their songs. but I certainly couldn't name them, and I'm not aware of the band name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted January 30, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2018 I appreciate the Smiths, used to listen to them back when they were going, even went to see them a few times, however its rare for me to play them these days, I'm all Smithed out I think Morrissey is a complete and utter arsehole. He really upset a very good friend of mine when their friendship ended (all down to Moz) Johnny Marr is a decent guitarist but he isn't as good as his reputation suggests The other two, bah who cares, really they could have been any bang average musician However, I think you do have to appreciate where they took the Alternative / Indie scene, they were huge and dragged up the profile of so many other bands just because they existed and thrived. One reason to dislike them from even back in the day... I always felt the Woodentops didn't get the credit they deserved because Rough Trade wasn't capable of having The Smiths and supporting some of their better prospects at the same time. I prefered the Woodentops if I'm honest, I still play them now and again but you can't really argue with the Smiths legacy either 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife doesn't think you make me feel by the woodentops is very good. She is on borrowed time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 having just listened to Good Thing & Get It on ... The Woodentops weren't bigger than the Smiths , cause they weren't as good as the Smiths .... I'm not even sure why it's up for debate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
