The Moz/Smiths Top 100, Part 41: EVERYDAY IS LIKE SUNDAY

[Alcoholic Afternoons]

I feel the need to "confess" my 7 rating. I've just never really cared for this song, and found it, at times, dare I say, dull? Maybe I've just heard it too much. I knew it would score well here, but I had no idea it would do THIS well. I'm feeling lonely down here in "7-land."

 

[celibate]

I guess very few people vote for less than 7.

indeed, but as for the Viva Hate singles I like Suedehead more than Sunday

a 8 with a bonus

 

[Well I Wonder]

A 9 from me. Simple but beautiful.

 

[dislocate my shoulder]

I feel the need to "confess" my 7 rating. I've just never really cared for this song, and found it, at times, dare I say, dull? Maybe I've just heard it too much. I knew it would score well here, but I had no idea it would do THIS well. I'm feeling lonely down here in "7-land."

Greetings from the "8-land" I'm too overexposed to this song (and I do come from a seaside town - which was bombed, but not enough).

 

[Musley]

Remember 10 is for classic songs and if this isn't a classic I don't know what is! Pure class, brilliant song.

 

[HIM]

i suppose i like this song and loved it when 'viva hate' came out, but it's pretty much played to death and i never listen to it, now.

 

[this you surely knew]

I l o v e this song. Perfecto.

 

[Radio Berlin]

ha ha, what do you vote the ones you are not so keen on? if "not one of your favorites" gets a 10

yes, It's very complicated but you can think a song is relly good and not have it as a favorite and vice versa. At least I can.

 

[Chartres]

Well, "There's A Light That Never Goes Out" next?

and by the way, 10. Oh I rememvber the days when I discovered this track, beautiful. There was no girls that summer.

Edit:
69 tens, almost ridicoulus

and 9,6 as average

 

[Radio Berlin]

That's how I feel about this song.

Even though I personally do not LOVE this song, I cannot deny its brilliance.

10



The way I vote is I vote with my emotions unless I know my emotions are not in sync with the reality.

In this case, I'd probably rate the song as an 8 in terms of how much I personally like it but a 10 for its total perfection.

that's exactly how I feel!

 

[international playboy]

well for me 10/10. It has to be in the top 3 songs of his solo work and even The Smiths

 

[Houdini]

Well, "There's A Light That Never Goes Out" next?

Edit:
69 tens, almost ridicoulus

and 9,6 as average

And what a margin over Bigmouth...
Looks like it's going to remain number 1 for a long time.

 

[MozzaBedfordSpur]

A 9 for me, classic tune, possibly Mozza's most famous song.

 

[Society]

Nine. Although the lyrics are very very simple, sometimes thats a good thing. The arrangement is incredible. The tambourine shake after each line of the chorus gives me chills. Wonder who thought of that. The boring seaside village/armageddon lines are f***ing brilliant.

 

[Your Arsenal]

This song is perfection.
Morrissey delivers his heart on this song.
SIGH i love morrissey for creating it.
10

 

[Camilla]

Probably my favorite, if he sings it in July, i think i'm going to have a heart attack, even my mom likes this song, is beautiful.

 

[the judge]

Oh my God, I gave this song 6, but it deserves 7, judging my standard voting.
But it's not one of my favourites.

 

[konstantinl]

When this was released I thought it was one of the most brilliant songs ever released but then that's what you will think when you are 19, have little musical knowledge and no sense of perspective.

This is an iconic Morrissey track but one which nowadays I'd have little motivation to listen to. I don't think it's held up as well as say 'Suedehead' or 'November Spawned A Monster' or various other solo Morrissey tracks.

I'm giving it 9 for old times sake.

 

[Bluebirds]

As a statement re: Moz its a 10.

Lyrically and musically a 10.

It will still be played in 20 years time in the real world. so a 10.

Over familiarity breeds contempt so that for me on a personal level makes it an 8.

-Trudging slowly over wet sand is such an evocative line (and image)

-Share some greased tea with me (what a line)

Plus it uses as an "inspiration" (ahem) one of the best poems of the last 100 years.

So a 10 then!

(Oh and Moz in makes qite good video shocker assists too!)

 

[Wild Oscar]

Difficuult to add to what's already been said already.

Not my all-time fave but still a 10. It's stood the 'test of time', hasn't it?

I mean - it's still loved by fans and known by non-fans. OK, like someone else implied above, it's not the most complex or experimental of songs, but it works - pure and simple.

Brilliant - a classic for sure.
