    I found The Smiths insufferable when I was young and I still find them insufferable.

    Still like a few of their songs, but fucking GROW UP, JESUS CHRIST.

      Pretty much the only band that I’ll switch off the satellite radio early 80s alternative station for.

      that’s because Morrissey is an insufferably pretentious douche. you can tell he was to blame because he went solo and continued torturing eardrums.

      Johnny Marr did okay when he went solo. a little uneven, but better than Morrissey.

      Oh fuck. My 13 year old says to me just a week ago “the Smiths are my absolute favorite band dad.” Fuck me. Where did I go wrong?

        Are they really? I have to admit that I do like them, but I was under the impression that their lyrics where mostly meant to be funny. But then again, I don’t always pay attention to the lyrics 😅
