WORST Smiths Song William It Was Really Nothing

Postby empyrean » Thu Dec 14, 2006 6:55 pm

Since a lot here dont like The Smiths, lets play this game. We know the rules already but this time, we will do it in REVERSE.

Vote 2 songs, and i mean 2 songs that you think is the BEST Smiths song and so on and so forth until the worst song is left. And that song will be judged The Smiths WORST Song. [:D]

Ok guys, lets have fun. Dont forget your sarcastic, funny quips about the song you choose. [:D]

01. This Charming Man
02. William It Was Really Nothing
03. What Difference Does It Make
04. Stop Me If You Think Youve Heard This One Before
05. Girlfriend In A Comma
06. Half A Person
07. Rubber Ring
08. How Soon Is Now
09. Hand In Glove
10. Shoplifters Of The World Unite
11. Sheila Take A Bow
12. Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others
13. Panic
14. The Boy With The Thorn On His Side
15. The Headmaster Ritual
16. Heaven Knows Im Miserable Now
17. Ask
18. Oscillate Wildly
19. Nowhere Fast
20. Still Ill
21. Big Mouth Strikes Again
22. That Joke Isnt Funny Anymore
23. Shakespeare Sister
24. Girl Afraid
25. Reel Around The Mountain
26. Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Love Me
27. There Is A Light That Never Goes Out


BTW, this is the best The Smiths can offer. Its taken from their Best Of....album released in our country.

Smiths haters, let your voice be heard. [:D]

"05. Girlfriend In A Comma". Girlfriend in a "Comma"? Most promiscuous young lads would rather have Girlfriend in a Period (because then it's my, my, my, my, my, my baby goodbye--at least for the time being).

I also like the Smiths, and some of Morrissey's stuff, but that's besides the point here. Of what's left 16. Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now and 23. Shakespeare's Sister (among many others) should NOT be the winner. (And the one I think should be the winner was the first to go--the one I thought was way overhyped when it first came out ("Girlfriend in a Coma")--I just don't get my fellow outposters sometimes. [:)] )
