    For me barbarism begins at home is one of the songs for why i enjoy listening to The Smiths so much...the band sounds awesome not only for Morrissey's lyrics and voice or Marr's great riffs but because the whole band as a unit complement perfectly with each other, andy rourke's bass lines and the drum from Joyce makes this song one of the best in my opinion
