Most underrated songs?

[Girl-with-the-Thorn]

Tony The Pony too, I think it's a beautiful song.

Yes. It takes a few listens, but I really do love it now.

Similarly with 'The Father Who Must Be Killed'. It's an intense character based song and Morrissey's voice and delivery is great on that track.

Munich, particularly with the Subway intro.

Judging by the poll from last year (http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showthread.php?p=772612), my favourite underrated songs are:
- At Amber
- I Keep Mine Hidden
- Let The Right One Slip In
- Skin Storm
- Accept Yourself
- Ouija Board, Ouija Board
- Death Of A Disco Dancer
- Wonderful Woman
- I Don't Owe You Anything
- Shakespeare's Sister

(All not in the top 100)

Good taste (although 'Shakespeare's Sister' has never done much for me to be frank) . Welcome to Solo- and by the way, I love your username.

I've often found this in friends who are more interested in 'Morrissey' than 'The Smiths'.

Not saying its a bad thing or you're wrong or anything, just an observation.

To me its an absolutely essential sound of The Smiths.

Nah, it's just never really done anything for me particularly in terms of melody, although I do really like the lyrics. And I like both equally in actual fact.

 

[Billtwasreallynowt]

Maybe when you fall in lurrrrrrrrrrrve or lust, you'll appreciate the absolute urgency of the track

 

[Max Bialy]

The first Morrissey solo tracks I ever heard were "Everyday Is Like Sunday" and "The Last Of The Famous International Playboys", and the first two Smiths tracks I heard were "Girlfriend In A Coma" and "Shakespeare's Sister". Still among my favourites, first love and all that...

Nobody Loves Us

 

[jwizjam]

Generally my opinion is usually nowhere close to that of the polls. Songs I think deserve more recognition include:

I Can Have Both
I Know It's Over
Unloveable
Reel Around the Fountain
I Don't Owe You Anything
Please Come to Camden
Ammunition
Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself
The More You Ignore Me
You Have Killed Me

I've just realized that I have essentially typed out my whole go list on my MP3 player!

I think that Morrissey as an artist is very underrated and unappreciated especially in the states. Not by me, though!

 

[jwizjam]

Oh, I forgot At Amber

 

[Girl-with-the-Thorn]

I personally think 'On The Streets I Ran', 'You Know I Couldn't Last' and 'Mute Witness' don't get nearly enough mentions. Love 'em.

Mute Witness is pretty great. The live version was even better

 

[Andy-Mats]

No one's mentioned east/west? The perfect Morrissey song: it sounds so light and lovely--and then the lyrics, so sad and to the point. East, west/Over the ocean/Perpetual motion.

Play that next to skin storm and you've got the moment of love and then the longing for lost love.

Nice to see you back.

'East / West' and 'Skin Storm' are cover versions, IMHO they aren't really underrated.

smiths

Miserable lie+that joke isn't funny anymore

Morrissey solo

the world is full of crashing bores+ this is not your country

I just took 2 songs, but whole Kill Uncle is underrated, as for the Smiths,
the musicpress say, the Queen is dead is classic
Morrissey & Marr answered after the Smiths period, several times
as 'Strangeways here we come'as their best

Therefore i wholehardly drop my trousers to any fan, that Meat is Murder
is underesthimated, as their work before that album are lots of gems
starting with the first single and I don"t owe you anything, pretty girls make graves and ending [have to make an end, life's a pigsty] these things take time

 

[zulu sierra]

For me :

1) The Smiths : Unloveable , Unhappy Birthday

2) Morrissey : Yes I am blind , Ammunition , Good looking man about town

 

[Anker Ignis Fatuus Von K.]

These things take time
