My favourite band ever. I’m 20 right now and I can’t imagine I’ll ever stop listening to the smiths. Every song, every element of their music, I love it.
Same man. I am also 20 years old and the Smiths are my favourite band alongside Joy Division.
Only 20 now...good for you .
Imagine in 1987 when they released the first album . Simple Bliss.
Wait til you’re 30. you gonna be so sick of all your music but won’t find anything better. It’s like hell.
As a GenX person, I remember that summer, the Smiths came out with their first album. Really started to love music around that time.
@@cblu5254 Maybe for you. I am nearing 30 and I love The Smiths more and more every day. Also keep discovering new music. If your music taste is narrow then sure you can't find new stuff
I know it's over is one of the most depressing and yet beautiful songs of all times
I prefer never had no one ever but I love I know it's over though :)
Jeff Buckley's version also absolutely beautifull
Yep, people usually misunderstand the song, it’s not a love song, it’s an ‘antilove song’. It’s not about heartbreak, it’s about loneliness
i know its over and asleep at 8 and 9 haha
last night i dreamt is as wekk
In my opinion all his albums are a perfection, but “The queen is dead” is a masterpiece
Totally agree
Meat is murder is the best on my opinion
100%
J A U R E G U I. self titled is my favorite
THEIR albums
Morrisseys dance style was never 80’s, he was in a league of everything he did all of his own. He is so incredibly unique in his artistry. He is his own style and sound and all that he is. He is absolutely incredible. There will never be another Morrissey!
Morrissey don't get a shite about what everyone thinks about him
This Night Has Opened My Eyes is my fav Smiths song...Please any Smiths fan or anyone who likes this type of music, please give this beautiful, underrated track a listen!
One of my favorite The Smiths songs hands down.
Unloveable and Death of a Disco Dancer are pretty underrated as well :(
Well I Wonder is the most underrated Smiths song, along with Stretch Out And Wait.
azhurelwarrior wonderful woman
Love that song!!
big mouth strikes again is one of the best songs of all time
Orange Douche completely agree
it played at bumblebee
H2 oH also one of the most fun to play
I've only done karaoke once, and that was my choice to sing.
True
Ask by the Smiths is so underrated.
yeah, its a killer tune :)
Facts
rabbit uchiha an introverted anthem!
This was on the radio when my son was born. The exact moment!
Agree
Cemetery gates is one of their finest, the lyrics are so fine.
One of the funniest songs out there
totally!
Whenever I go on walks I alway go to a forest but u have to go through a cemetery to get there so sometimes I’ll skip the song to cemetery gates and just wonder round, everyone must think I’m a weirdo 😂😂😂😂
@@erindaniel2310 that's totally cool i think , you add more meaning to the song and environment matters a lot, cool🙂
@Saleha thanks at least someone doesn’t think I’m a weirdo 😂😊
the smiths are one of the the incredibly few bands who have never made a whole heartedly bad song
marco golden lights.
aaron lee I agree. The only song by them that I dislike is Golden Lights
aaron lee yeah but golden lights is a cover
m a r c o II
accept yourself
"The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" should have been in the top 10, not the honorable mentions.
Should've been #1 in my opnion.
JediGTI I thought It will I be on top ten
stop me if you think that you've heard this one before; I was delayed I was waylaid, an emergency stop I smelled the last ten seconds of life, I crashed down on the crossbar, and the pain was enough to make a shy bald buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder, who said I lied to her?
should be top 5 that one
Alex Meyer agreed it's one of my favorites
"There is a light that never goes out" is the best song ever written in the history of popular music here on Earth or any other planet in the known solar system and beyond. Probably in the multiverse too unless another The Smiths from one of those parallel universes managed to pull off something slightly better than that, which is unlikely but maybe possible.
Jokes aside, for a band who never wrote a bad song, this type of list is simply impossible to make: Well I wonder, the boy with the thorn, Last night I dreamt.., I won't share you, wonderful woman, Half a person,.... the list is very very long.
The smiths have literally saved my life so many times.
How
@@wavyphoton8205 don't have to tell you!
@@wavyphoton8205 he’s gay for the brits
@@craiglee7224 then don’t comment your personal life on the internet with millions of people if you don’t want to be questioned. Ignorant fuck
this is false, EVERY Smiths song is a hit, like literally all of them
Amen
I have to agree they have many great songs!
+Jarrod Carman true
+Jarrod Carman
100% agree!
I keep trying to make my own top ten of the smiths but it's impossible because all of their songs are bloody amazing
lilymaate irk? every time I try to write a list it changes
lilymaate every time someone asks me my favourite song, I have a new answer. I just can't choose!! What a brilliant bunch.
Same here, just don't make me choose please. I love them all
Except for like, vicar in a tutu
Most relatable thing I've ever read
“You’ve got everything now” is 100% the most underrated Smiths tune in my opinion. Especially the Hatful of Hollow version
the hatful of hollow version sounds dreadful!! bass is full of reverb, johnny’s guitar sounds wrong, you can barely hear mike joyce and moz’s vocal is all over the place! david jensen ruined a brilliant song
Totalmente de acuerdo.
I’m 16 and constantly have these on repeat I’m literally obsessed but I know no one who listens to them which upsets me coz they’re so incredible
Im 16 rn and will definitely keep the Obsession up :))
@@paulrosch7771 same
I'm the you in 2022
"William, It Was Really Nothing" anyone?
Antoine Mouthon Favourite Smiths song
Antoine Mouthon My fav song
Fucking love it, maybe bias since I was named after it though!!
fav smith song
YES!
I know it's over in my opinion is number 1
Yesss
Yes, I actually find it way deeper than There is a light that never goes out
Sure!
The mandolin section of Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want can bring me to tears. I don't know why. It's so cathartic to me.
"What Difference Does It Make? " Definely deserved a spot in top 5.
Frfr
"what difference does it make" is not even mentioned? Da ffffff...... hmpf
ikr
Gotta be one of my top 5 favourites
It’s actually my no.1...catchy riff, brilliant lyrics and Morrissey’s falsetto at the end ❤️
And the live version is even better. This song is a master class from Johnny Marr.
''Well I Wonder'', ''Some Girls are Bigger than Others'', ''Frankly, Mr. Shankly'', ''Half A Person'', should have been on the list.
Jess Manuel frankly mr shankly is so catchy and half a person is so good I don't like some girls as much though
Well... Sheila Take a Bow is a masterpiece. Absolutelly.
Jess Manuel Half A Person is amazing.
@ Jess- thats what i am talking about!
Not enough people talk about Well I Wonder and it makes me sad

Last night I dreamt?
Rourke's best bass is on Barbarism begins at home
love that bassline
Agree! Rourke's bass playing on that track is beast mode.
The bass line in hand in glove is brilliant
Doe doka doe doe da doo

"The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" is the Smithiest song The Smiths ever Smithed... would take it over almost any track on the list, and surely some of the more mopier ones.

My favorite is Hand In Glove. It is just so good.
Hand in Glove, Still Ill, and Nowhere Fast *sigh*. All absent

VB MUTT bloody love Death Of A Disco Dancer!
jameson jacobs that's my favourite one
IKR
I know this isn't one of their most popular songs but Well I Wonder is amazing. Lyrically it's beautiful and combined with a melancholy guitar, it's perfect. Their best song in my opinion.
The raindrops at the end are orgasmic
Emily I totally agree!!!
Agree. That outro is epic
Omg I love so much
I've just posted and didn't mention this song but totally agree it is amazing.
I’m deeply in love with “stretch out and wait” , this song is so underrated
Btw, “there is a light that never goes out” is a song that proves that Morrisey is a genius, because lyrics are extremely simple and full of deep sense at the same time.
It's impossible choose 10 songs. The best band of ever
Still ill?
nar lar BEST SONG EVER!!!
nar lar YAS
nar lar the live version on rank is my favvvvve
Definitivamente

Asleep can cure anything

7. Bigmouth Strikes Again
6. This Charming Man
5. These Things Take Time

2. William It Was Really Nothing
1. You’ve got everything now
The English are probably the most talented people per square mile.
Thanks mate🇬🇧
especially the Mancs..,,a conveyor belt of great bands
Mario G every member of the smiths have Irish parents I’m pretty sure
When it comes to rock music the British are second to none
@@kaiser8159 well...second to us yanks of course!
I knew it wouldn't be there, but I love Girl Afraid. Fair list!
Erico Pereira: I agree. 'Girl Afraid' is another gem. There's just so many, and many among Morrissey's solo albums as well!!!
Girl Afraid is among my faves as well.
This Charming Man is best for the lyrics alone
Dennis Osborne lol no way
Marrs jangly guitar made this charming man good
johnny marr??
Johnny Marr??
Johnny Marr??
“I want the one I can’t have” anyone?
Top song
suffer little children is so underrated
Definitely, especially since it’s inspired by the Moores murders and includes the track of girls laughing in the background makes it incredibly heart wrenching
TOP 10 THE CURE'S SONG!!! PLEASE!
Yesssssss
+Arturo Martínez www.watchmojo.com/suggest
OMG yea
YES!
YES!
I know it's over has to be the most depressing and uplifting song of all time
Patrick Finnegan same with heaven knows I’m miserable now, it makes me feel sad yet happy.
"So, do you agree with our selections?" Why do you even ask? It's Mojo, therefore it can't be a well-chosen top 10.
The boy with a thorn in his side, to me is one of the most beautiful songs ever written by any artist/band!
A rush and a push and the land is ours is one of my personal favourites
mine too
One of their best and one of their most underrated songs.
Same. I also think "Barbarism Begins At Home" is a great track.
+Tiffany Goulcester yeah, to be honest there is not one smiths song that I would say shouldn't be on that list
True. I don't think there any songs of theirs that I don't love.
my favourite smith's song is what difference does it make?
there is a light never goes out
Stretch Out And Wait, very underrated song.
Mine's Still Ill
What a bassline.
Morrisseys favourite re interview Piccadilly radio 1987....................................
Hell yeah. The John Peel session version of that song is godly.
my top 10:
10. Shoplifters of the World
9. Sheila Take a Bow
8. Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
7. Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
6. Is It Really So Strange?
5. Ask
4. The Boy With the Thorn in His Side
3. Sweet And Tender Hooligan
2. Half A Person
1. Asleep
*[anonymous Smiths fan complaining about their favorite song not making the list and the ordering of the one's in it]*
I am pretty sure that "Panic" is about the aftermath of Chernobyl disaster. I remember reading about it somewhere. In short The Smiths were perplexed how the news on the radio could report about the tragedy. And after the regular programming resumed the DJ played the newest pop songs as if nothing significant had just been reported. The verse "Panic on the streets of London..." refers to the fear that gripped most people when they heard about the disaster, while the DJ is playing music that isn't fitting the mood.
Top 10 joy division songs
+Vaughn Stacey (Axel) true
+Vaughn Stacey (Axel) They should have their own lists.
***** props oml
Phancy Daddyshrek69 that would be too long of a list
zach hill lmao all joy division songs are great
No mention at all of "Reel Around the Fountain," which is my favorite of theirs. Guess I'm a weirdo.
I'll be a weirdo with u. That song is one of my faves of theirs.
Not at all. None of The Smiths fans are Weirdo.
Edo Widi Virgian hey! that's looks like a sarcasm
@@arthurz5254 whoops, sorry
The Troy Tate version is without a doubt the best version.
How Soon is Now is one of the best songs of All-time, period. ✌
This list is impossible to do, The Smiths have the highest song batting average of any band I can think of. Well done anyway. I am surprised that Still ill didn't get a mention.
There isn't a bad smiths song it's just some are better than others, and the ones that are better are impossible to decide between
a_decent_name_on_insta correct!
+SuperJmevans the Beatles are good but honestly if you really get into the smiths to a point where you listen to meat is murder and the queen is dead daily you'll see that their songs are impossible to choose between
+Lily Araujo yh I'm not a massive beach boys fan, the best band out of the 60s is the velvet underground, the Rolling Stones, led Zeppelin and the beatles
+Lily Araujo the zombies were good just when you are going to pick the best of the best you have to put others first
Well I Wonder and Reel Around the Fountain are both amazing and underrated
Reel Around the Fountain is my absolute favourite. doesn't get nearly enough attention.
reel around the fountain is my absolute favourite too, with hand in glove second. also love well i wonder
Well I wonder is magnificent. My favourite.
Reel around the fountain, mi favorite one!
Reel around the fountain, such a great song. Girlfriend in a coma too
1. there is a light

“What Difference Does it Make”
only 8,000 views, such an underrated band, loved them for so long now and can never bore of discovering new meaning to his lyrically deep music
they're pretty big here... but with that being said i am from Manchester hahaha. tho yeah i agree as a whole that they're underrated
from manchester aswell mate
MANCHESTAAAAR
I think it's cuz the video was just posted today.
+Tiffany Goulcester ah I didn't notice
asleep is one of my favorites, just incredible
Lea Long PHAN
Panic is the ultimate best dude
england is my city Evak!!!!!
Literally EVERY SONG The Smiths sing are awesome! I was very privileged to see The Smiths in the 80's in Houston at the University of Houstons Cullen Auditorium. It was a small venue and the best concert I've ever been to and I've been to a lot of amazing concerts like Pink Floyd, Bowie, INXS The Cure and many others. The Smiths topped all of them!
My list:
1)How Soon Is Now
2)This Charming Man
3)Panic
4)Heaven Know I'm Miserable Now
5)There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
6)What Difference Does It Make
7)Well I Wonder
8)You've Got Everything Now
9)I Know It's Over
10)Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others
Johnny Marr is god
Tru
+OfficialFlatCat that's Easy money
+MrBubbles tune
One of my favourite guitarists
probably the most underrated guitarist ever imo
We need a top 10 Morrissey songs now!!
emily hadcroft yes i waiting to see who said this!!! MORRISSEY PLZ!
emily, speedway.. the most beautiful song by morrisey in my opinion. And if you like skateboarding, check out Heath Kirchart's mindfield part, it's awesome..
God Bless The Smiths and Morrissey. Johny Marr too! Don't know how my life would have been without them!
The light that never goes out! 🤫 🔥✌️😎
People say the songs are miserable because most people don't like reality! They much rather be in a world full of pretending and bullshitting each other! They don't like to face the real issues morrisey sings with humour
I would say There Is A Light That Never Goes Out is #1, there's just something about it that reminds me of falling in love and deciding to dedicate your life to one person only.
I used to think the line about dying by your side was so romantic when I was a teenager. Ah, youth :)
yes indeed
Such a short run ,but so musically impactful .Rest in Peace Andy .
13-william
12-heaven knows
11-still ill
10-shoplifters
9-headmaster
8-ask
7-last night i dreamt
6-this night has opened
5-back to the old house
4-suffer little children
3- boy thorn side / there is a light
2- cemetry gates
1- some girls
And so many more...
There are so many great songs by the Smiths its so hard to pick just 10!
There's too much caffeine in your bloodstream and a lack of real spice your life.
I feel lucky to have listened to this during my teenage years...
" Unlovable", "Well I Wonder", "Half a Person", "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" and "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others".
Good choices!
Yes! Especially the final three
words cannot describe how much i love this band
Really?! The drummer's my cousin
This Night Has Opened My Eyes!!! One of my all time faves
Thank you Morrissey and The Smiths for these classic hits, bring back so many memories!
This night has opened my eyes and Well I Wonder should be on top 5; William, It Was Really Nothing amd Handsome Devil should be mentioned
OHHH MY GOD !!!! I'VE NEVER CLICKED FASTER ON A VIDEO !!! :)
"you've got everything now" should have been up there. the drumming is so good, especially at the end with the ride cymbal.. hatful of hollow version.

Vaisin one of there best
I have a constant debate with my brother which is better how soon is now or William it was really nothing
William,it was really nothing is one of my favsss
BEST SONG
Also, It's in the 500 greatest songs of all time by Rolling Stones.
The 60's had The Beatles, The 70's had Led Zeppelin, The 80's belonged to The Smith's.
I wouldn’t go that far
@@BillSzany You can have the New Kids, I will stick with The Smith's.
ignoring queen for the 70s
@@extravirginoliveoil2012 queen was nowhere near zeppelin. Queen didn’t have a hit until ‘75 while zeppelin had there first hit in ‘69
Waluigi Waluigi maybe but queens music was still arguably the best out there
still ill and hand in glove tho
still ill should be #1
Especially the live version of still ill
