4.The Smiths "What Difference Does It Make?" 3 -4 THE SMITHS "THIS CHARMING MAN"

Two of my favourite bands.

Blue Monday.

How Soon is now is a great track but it doesn't make it in my top 10 Smiths tracks

I'm gonna be the controversial one this time.

I think Blue Monday's overated pish tbh.

I like some New Order stuff,don't get me wrong but i don't get why that one track is so lauded.

Blue Monday

It's just a really great track. The intro?

Ooft

I think it sounds dated tbh.

And wasnae anything special to begin with.

Opinions.
 

Blue Monday

Power Corruption and Lies is a fucking great album as well and Blue Monday isn't even on it

I think New Order have better tracks.

And much prefer Joy Division to them If i'm honest.
