Take a listen to The Queen Is Dead. It is the finest album ever recorded.
It's 19 years since The Smiths split yet they still sound fresh.

A lot of people on here seem to go back to the Roses' debut, surely I'm not the only one of a growing number who think Second Coming was their finest hour?
You're not the only one. But you are wrong.
JAMES. The most uncelebrated rock bands ever. They were on the music scene for over two decades. Their album "Laid" is a great introduction to them. I saw James in the Manchester Arena in 2000 and it was the best gig I was ever at.Quote:

Both absolutely brilliant bands. Both completely different.
Oasis, decent as they were, probably don't belong in the same breath
Anyway top 5 Smiths songs:
1. Still Ill
2. The Queen is Dead
3. There is a Light
4. Stop me if you think you've heard this one before
5. A Rush and a Push and the land that we stand on is ours
And yes like someone said above by the time I'm finished typing this post my mind will probably have changed :)

Another band with Manc and Irish connections is of course the Cult. At Billy Duffy has some Irish connection. I remember seeing him and Ian Astbury being interviewed by ITV during USA 94 over in the states and they were going to an Ireland game wearing the jerseys and all that. Duffy is a Man City fan. Think Astbury supports Everton though but he's not scouse, probably from somewhere in the vast connurbation between Manc and Merseyside.
