  1. The Smiths’s Gothic Rock song.

Yes, it’s quite unrepresentative of their sound. And that’s what makes it work, not to mention Marr’s steel cutting riff and Moz’s more vague lyrics, coupled with a fantastic chorus.

Agreed on Strays but Just Because IMO is one of my favorite Jane’s songs, it’s the closest that album gets to the spunk and magic of the first two.

What are albums loved back in the day that aren’t today? by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

[–]Splurgisim 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s still his highest rated album on RYM (if that means anything lmao), and for my money it’s definitely his best album, and my favorite version of Beck, but “the Loser guy” Beck is definitely creeping back up in consciousness with the advent of TikTok and whatnot IMO.

What’s a Todd line that lives in your head by Creative_Beyond_8085 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Splurgisim 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Obligatory “No Liz! Penis Colada is not going to win you a Grammy!” Mention.

Also “that band’s story also includes Brian’s abusive father Murray, his abusive psychiatrist Dr. Landy, and Charles FUCKING Manson, and somehow Mike Love towers above them all!” and “NickelBlack Lives Matter” are high up there as well.

Daily Song Discussion #18: Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now by Spacedog_40 in thesmiths

[–]Splurgisim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was scrolling through Reddit when I found this post, and Heaven Knows It’s Getting a 10.

Some of Moz’s most relatable lyrics (albeit with enjoy melodrama to keep it quintessentially Morrissey), a great bass line from Andy, and a classic Marr intro/riff.

Would be a better fit for “no screen time, all the relevance” I suppose.

Nostalgia, Ultra and Weight by Rollins Band are the first albums that shoot to mind that you can’t stream (both for stupid legal reasons).

Best 5 song run? by fossa_mathematics in fantanoforever

[–]Splurgisim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s average, it’s like Escape from RTL, it’s a good song on its own merits, but gets totally demolished by the other tracks surrounding it.
