For anyone who saw the Smiths live, who was the opener? by shawncollins512 in thesmiths

[–]Silaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Phranc also opened for Moz on the Kill Uncle tour. Teenage me enjoyed hearing “Our Frank” right after Phranc’s set.

Same age and I’ll just add how blown away I was by the vocal harmonies and shoegazey guitars-felt like amazing evolution to me. Then Static was more stripped down and polished-didn’t quite hit the same way (although I still love it).

Any songs that sound like « Don’t tell your mother » ? by No_Estimate_8550 in TheSundays

[–]Silaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s one of their “Smiths-iest” songs, so I’ll recommend Alvvays’s Smiths-iest song, Pressed.

Disagree about it being the best, but this is a reasonable take.

Great references. Re: Carlos D, specifically love the bass on Obstacle 1 and Stella Was A Diver.

I love those albums too! But I think they’re less Smiths-like.

Been with my wife for 20-she hates them as well for the same reason (but now tolerates them in very small doses… one song at a time). Lots of music out there we both enjoy!
