Used to be the same. Didn't get it. Thought they sucked.

Then one day it clicked. I can't really explain why I like them and I still don't think everything they have is essential but they're definitely rated appropriately. I remember listening to 'There Is a Light' ad-nauseum and that's when it made sense. I think it was because I knew that Moz was the president of the New York Dolls fanclub in England so I always expected the Smiths to be a bit more punk-ish so the reference to the New York Dolls in that song sold me on them.

And 'Awake' is just a crushing song. Absolutely soul-sucking. Leaves you vacant.

They're a different band the Cure, though. Weirdly enough, the Smiths have significantly more attitude. They've also held up better over the years even if Pornography and Disintegration are great albums. Even some of the Cure's newer stuff has been good.

Yeah that, I'm retarded. Anyway, you can see how much I like the Smiths for getting that wrong. I'm not passionate about them but I do think they're quite good.

Like, I listened to Meat is Murder back in college, and it sounded basically like...moody monotonous music. Like, it was beautiful in a way and I can see how it would suck in a certain part of me, but I can't say it really had lasting value for me.

I think it's their best. Definitely rocks the hardest. The stuff that came after was less raw, more overproduced.

the lyrics alone are awesome:

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job

And heaven knows I'm miserable now

Girlfriend in a coma, I know

I know - it's serious

Burn down the disco

Hang the blessed DJ

Because the music that they constantly play

IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking

When I said I'd like to smash every tooth

In your head

I've been listening to them a lot this week

I enjoy prissy and faggoty sounding music but at first this shit was grating to me and literally every song sounded the same to me

Then I started slowly liking them in a joking way

Now I think they are okay. Not great. Okay.
