This month's Rolling Stone magazine issued the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". The Smiths have two songs in the top 500. The songs are 'William, It Was Really Nothing' At # 431 and 'How Soon is Now?' at # 477. There is a little write up about each. Not bad when you consider Rolling Stone never wrote anything great about the Smiths.... or anything great at all. JK.
Other names on the list, The Cure with 2 songs, Sex Pistols with 2, and New Order with 1. Morrissey's solo work? No songs.
