The Smiths- Self titled, and The Queen is Dead

SynthethicalY · 04.16.2007, 01:01 AM

Something like it.

edit- I must... before giving it to krastian again.

krastian · 04.16.2007, 01:02 AM

Join the club.

SynthethicalY · 04.16.2007, 01:04 AM

I think I did that when i was a young 'un.

krastian · 04.16.2007, 01:05 AM

But srsly, listen to those albums.

SynthethicalY · 04.16.2007, 01:06 AM

Ok, thanks man. Next paycheck I am going to Borders and buy what I can find, if not itunes.

The Smiths:

Hatful Of Hollow
The Queen Is Dead
Meat Is Murder
The World Won't Listen
Louder Than Bombs
Strangeways Here We Come
The Smiths

There are better bootlegs than the live Rank.

As far as The Cure are concerned:

Pornography
Three Imaginary Boys
Boys Don't Cry
Faith
Staring At The Sea

Morrisey solo:

Vauxhall And I
Your Arsenal
Viva Hate
Ringleader Of The Tormentors is a mostly good album too

Some bands unrelated to The Smiths but worth checking out if you like them:

The Primitives
Moose
The first two Suede albums
The La's (first album only)

what krastian said, i'll just fix the little typos here:

The Cure- Boys Don't Cry, Pornography, Disintegration
The Smiths- Hatful of Hollow, and The Queen is Dead

fishmonkey · 04.16.2007, 04:29 AM

anythin by the Smiths, dont mind the cure.

Torn Curtain · 04.16.2007, 09:14 AM

I agree with what's been proposed.

Hatful of hollow is underrated in my opinion (I may like it more than the studio albums), and Boys don't cry is a good compilation as it includes very good songs that aren't on Three imaginary boys.

Katy · 04.16.2007, 09:31 AM

My first experience of The Smiths was 'The Queen Is Dead'. I listened to it over and over and over on a 10-hour bus journey once when I was a teenager, coming back to London from Edinburgh. It was the only album I brought with me on the bus.. and it's only about half an hour long, so I just kept replaying it. It's one of those albums that I know inside out and backwards now. No regrets there.

My first experience of The Cure was dancing around to 'Love Cats' when I was little. It's actually one of my earliest musical memories. I can't remember a time when I didn't know that song. I still feel like a toddler whenever I hear it. The first Cure album I bought for myself was 'Disintegration'. No regrets there either.

Savage Clone · 04.16.2007, 09:53 AM

My favorite Cure albums are Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography, all of which are now available in deluxe CD form with a ton of fantastic extra tracks, live cuts and demos from that period.

I also agree with Torn Curtain that Hatful Of Hollow is underrated for the Smiths. That is a fine album, and some of the versions on there are my favorites.

Everyneurotic · 04.16.2007, 10:53 AM

disintegration or bloodflowers and hatful of hollow, the only version i don't like from hoh is this charming man, other than that, it's a great album.

04.16.2007, 11:05 AM

I wouldn't really say that Hatful Of Hollow is an underrated Smiths album. It is widely recognized by many of their fans as their 'true' first album. And that is because it's much better.

Rob Instigator · 04.16.2007, 11:11 AM

Smiths
my faves are
The Queen Is Dead
Strangeways Here We Come
Louder Than Bombs

the Cure I like
The Head On The Door
Staring @ The Sea singles (get the CD or cassette which has all the B-sides as well. )
Disintegration

Cardinal Rob · 04.16.2007, 11:38 AM

Get everything by The Smiths. The Cure score 6/10 on the band chart. 'Boys Don't Cry' and 'In Between Days' are cute numbers. Check out the gerogerigegege's cover of 'Boys Don't Cry', it's spot on.

What are ya, a fag or something?

Yes, that. I have to add, The Cure-Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me

Rob Instigator · 04.16.2007, 12:18 PM

yes, add KISS ME KISS ME KISS ME!!!!!

Savage Clone · 04.16.2007, 12:28 PM

What?
Kiss me...has exactly one good song on it; The Snakepit.
That album was the beginning of the end for me with them.
After that it was just a song or two here and there.
