Would love if the song were actually about milking a cow.

Re-listening to 'The Boy With The Thorn In His Side' again, I love it how Morrissey begins singing on the second chord in the chord progression, as opposed to the first chord where you'd expect the singing to start.

Just noticed that the Smiths' Complete, which I bought as mp3s and assumed was... complete, doesn't include a few songs! I just heard "Wonderful Woman" for the first time and it's a very pretty song. Maybe not top 20, but certainly top 50

While waiting for the kettle to boil earlier I realised the main riff from What Difference Does It Make is the theme tune from HOW with the beat on a different place in bar.

Oh wait, it's come back to me now! Haven't thought about that programme for 30+ years!

Fred Dineage is our local news report presenter, so I get to think about HOW! fairly often.

I missed this. People don't like Strangeways nearly enough - I'm with Morrissey and Marr in thinking Last Night I Dreamt is their best song - but god bless Euler for putting A Rush and a Push at #1.

Can anyone recommend some good Smiths live shows from the MiM and QiD tours? Also, were they known as a particularly good live act? Never saw them although I was a fan at the time, regret it now.

Nevermind, I got it (Thank Your Lucky Stars, LA 1986; Madrid, 1985)

I think there's a proshot video of that Madrid show on YouTube.

I have been listening to the Spotify playlist constantly at work since this countdown and think it's driving me a little batty :)
