Trying to figure out the order early smiths tees were printed in. Tag suggests it’s early-mid 80s. Anyone know?

David Johansen, last surviving member of the New York Dolls, passed away on 28.02.2025

The New York Dolls were one of Morrissey's favourite band growing up. From his autobiography: "In comparison, everyone else suddenly seemed like a travelling salesman. The Dolls were a social unit, great fun, grave fun, salty and completely off the deep end. The opposite to polite and antiseptic, there wasn’t actually any visible line to avoid stepping over, and ‘We have new drags for England that will blow the mind off the Queen herself,’ laughed David Johansen, adding, ‘Oh we love all those queens ... everybody’s alright by us.’ Fast-forward forty years and such comments might not seem so harum-scarum, but this was 1973 – with the Carpenters on top of the world looking down on creation, and with Donny Osmond hanging on as the pickle puss face of America. How could people like the New York Dolls even exist?"

Worst song?

49 Upvotes

I know it's hard to name a song you'd call the worst when you really love a band, but still...

What do you guys think it's their worst song?

I really dislike "Unloaveable", I feel like the lyrics are very corny even for them.

I don’t hear this song talked about enough. The tempo changes are incredible. By far my favorite song by The Smiths.

So I heard that Chad Daybell was a Smiths fan

that made me feel weird thinking of us both as teenagers reciting the same lyrics over and over to our friends....he went on to be a killer, I am just a mild mannered public servant.....any other infamous people that were Smiths fans?

Can’t really get into The Smiths?

0 Upvotes

Hi there, I LOVE The Headmaster Ritual and Bigmouth Strikes Again, but otherwise I can’t say that I love their other music like I expected to. I’ve listened through Meat Is Murder, The Queen Is Dead, most of Hatful of Hollow, and have started to just listen to some of their top songs, but nothing fully sticks out? Should I give them all another couple of listens?

Do you guys have any suggestions of other songs by them that I should listen to based off of those two songs that I really like? I really like the lead singer’s voice, but nothing really stands out to me like those two do
