So it's about time we did a Smiths elimination, innit. Let's start with their debut, a great album unfortunately (if you'll excuse the expression) marred by lifeless production. But perhaps that was the point: flat, weak arrangements that would complement Morrissey's depressing lyrics. So without further ado, j'ai l'honneur de vous introduire The Smiths. Je crois qu'ils vont faire boum ici - et je suis certain que leur musique vous sera fascinant!
The contestants:
Reel Around the Fountain
You've Got Everything Now
Miserable Lie
Pretty Girls Make Graves
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
Still Ill
Hand in Glove
What Difference Does It Make?
I Don't Owe You Anything
Suffer Little Children
Handsome Devil
This Charming Man
Jeane
Wonderful Woman
Accept Yourself
Back to the Old House
These Things Take Time
This Night Has Opened My Eyes
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
Girl Afraid
My first vote goes to Back to the Old House.

The Smiths rarely got it wrong in the studio, but if you mean the studio version of that, then I agree, but when you hear the Hatful of Hollow version, it immediately becomes one of the greatest Smiths songs in my opinion. |

I don't get why B-sides are included in eliminations...

Wonderful Woman
Btw, I'm in the minority for sure but I think the production on the first album suits it just fine.

Forgot that there was a version of that song on Hatful! It's indeed amazing, but my vote stays put.  And is that a vote for Back to the Old House? |
