My Top 7 Favorite Songs by The Smiths

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge fan Morrissey and especially his period with The Smiths. I began this as an attempt to list my Top 5 Favorite Smith's songs of all time. However, in trying to narrow them down, I could only get it down to my Top 7 without feeling like I was going to be short-selling just how awesome they were. Sorry fellow fans of Morrissey, no hits from his solo days, only from the good old days as front man for The Smiths. Special thanks to KROQ 106.7 for introducing me to one of my all time favorite bands (and singer). Enjoy!



#7 STOP ME IF YOU THINK YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE:



#6 GIRLFRIEND IN A COMA:



#5 PANIC:



#4 ASK:



#3 HOW SOON IS NOW:

I still remember one of my best friends in jr high had a pic of morissey taped to her folder. after awhile...and too many people asking who it was. she added this note to the bottom: "it's morissey...stupid."

even with that exposure, i never really listened to the smith's until you. and...i'm still getting used to him/them. cheerful fatalism. bouncy negativism. upbeat bleak outlooks. it's all kind of funny...in a smash your face in kind of way.

but i will say this: it's growing on me.
and i love hearing you happily singing along...
