    Get 'Meat Is Murder' and 'The Queen Is Dead'. Two of the best albums ever.

    I can't believe that nobody has mentioned 'That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore'. Arguably the best song ever written.

    Girlfriend in a Coma - such a cheery melody for such melancholic lyrics. It makes me smile every time :)

    Ohhh I love the smiths, morrissey has an incredible voice and an amazing way of making non-stop whining sound beautiful and dreamy.

    There's a Light That Never Goes Out, brilliant in my mind. But, my favourite is actually just Morrissey and it's "The Last of the Famous International Playboys". Because of my fascination with true crime, however, "Suffer Little Children" makes the top as well.

    The Smiths are my favorite band in the world. I adore morrissey. A few favorite songs I guess would be asleep, oscillate wildly, there is a light that never goes out, sweet and tender hooligan, ask, and so on.

    The Smiths are my favorite band. It's so hard choosing a favorite song but I suppose I would have to go with Barbarism Begins at Home and Rusholme Ruffians

    Off course, who doesn't like "There's a Light That Never Goes Out"? I liked this song way before the 500 Days of Summer movie.

    The smiths are my favourite group. The best songs, to me are:

    - last night I dreamt somebody loved me
    - there is a light that never goes out
    - stretch out and wait
    - this charming man
    - I know it's over
    - a rush and a push and the land is ours
    - you just haven't earned it yet baby
    - frankly me shankly
    - paint a vulgar picture
    - shoplifters of the world unite
    - half a person
    - girlfriend in a coma
    - how soon is now
    - asleep
    - suffer little children
    - Boy with thorn in his side

    In fact, all their songs are amazing.

    compassionate, humane, irrepressibly human, beautiful

    I don't like that they sometimes wallow in and glorify depression and suicide though
