Your top 10 Smiths songs?

[andy_fozzy]

For me, the first 2 are my faves, the rest (as all Smiths songs do....) mean the world to me.

Well I Wonder,
That Joke Isn't......,
Hand That Rocks The Cradle,
Suffer Little Children,
Unloveable,
Back To The Old House,
Cemetry Gates,
Accept Yourself,
There Is A Light.......
I Want The One I Can't Have.

Like I said, all their songs are vital to me, these ones just 'stand out' a bit more.

 

[scaveman]

Not in order (i repeat NOT in ORDER!)

There is a light that never goes out
handsome devil
this charming man
a rush and a push and the land is ours
these things take time
rubber ring
half a person
this night has opened my eyes
you've got everything now
nowhere fast
vicar in a tutu
oscillate wildly

twelve... well, almost ten

 

[half a person]

Damn! I forgot Heaven Knows! And How Soon is Now! Oh well, I told you it changes too often.

 

[WhatDifferenceDoesItMake?]

1. What Difference Does It Make?
2. How Soon Is Now?
3. William, It Was Really Nothing
4. London
5. The Queen Is Dead
6. What She Said
7. Bigmouth Strikes Again

[Oneiros]

Not in order either (too difficult !) but 'There is a light...' is the N°1... :
There is a light that never goes out
This charming man
Stop me if you think...
Headmaster ritual
Back to the old house
Bigmouth strikes again
Half a person
This joke isn't funny anymore
How soon is now
Last night I dreamt...

 

[tender hooligan]

Reel around the fountain
I know its over
Cemtetry gates
Death of the disco dancer
Sweet and tender hooligan
These things take time
There is a light
The night that opened my eyes
I wont share you
Boy with the thorn in his side
Well, i wonder
and just one more
I want the one i cant have

 

[SRA]

Ah the challenge was to try and put them in order!

To those who couldnt; wimps!

 

[Slip-In]

I can't quite make up my mind about this, I love all the songs. They are timeless but for now I would say in particular order these songs:

Rubber Ring
Reel Around The Foutain
How Soon Is Now?
There Is A light That Never Goes
The Boy With A Thorn In His Side
Still Ill
Paint A Vulgar Picture
A Rush And Push And The Land Is Ours
Well, I Wonder
That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore

This of course would change on a daily basis,

 

[scaveman]

then i'm a wimp but i know some people who can't even select the 10 songs
