From Henrik:

If you check Channel 4's website, you'll notice that The Smiths/Morrissey were mentioned in many different charts, not only the "best band" category.

Best song: #83 - "How Soon Is Now?"
Best album: #58 - "The Queen Is Dead"
Best male vocalist: #36 - Morrissey
Best songwriter (!): #33 - Morrissey
Most influential artist of the century: #91 - Morrissey

Comments / Notes



is it just me or is "how soon is now" overplayed. i live in los angeles, and the radio stations that play the smiths, (and there're not many) play one song, and guess which one that is. there are so many better smiths song. *sigh*

I have to agree. The Smiths had songs a million times better then HSIN. Don't get me wrong HSIN is great but not as great as others. I would make a list but it would take to long. Maybe that should be the next poll question...Nah...that would take too long to....

cant ANYONE see the reason? HSIN is such an influential song, so dark, so frightening. there are many songs attached to one`s memorys such as "half a person" and "heavon knows" but they cant really interest anyone today that isnt a fanatic fan..so goes for "bigmouth strikes again". HSIN and bigmouth are unique and irrepeatable - no other smiths songs sounds like them. they are POWERFULL. this charming man, unloveable, other early songs - they have really poor production, compensated by the basic tune, the lyrics and morrissey`s voice.
