The fact is, a lot of people do, Moz. But I don't buy that The Smiths are an ultra-depressing band. No, that title goes to Joy Division or Radiohead (both bands I love, btw) before The Smiths. Even in their greatest dispair, I can sense they're taking it all with a grain of salt and wry humour. It's a really delicate and fine balance, but they strike it well. Goddard, S, 2013. Songs That Saved Your Life - The Art of The Smiths 1982–87. 2nd ed. U.K.: Titan Books. P. 222. Lo interesante en este compilado es que podemos encontrar a los temas que fueron "Lado B" del single "Sheila Take A Bow" y que fueron tomadas de los ya conocidísimos Peel Sessions, hablo de los temas "Is It Really So Strange" y uno de mis tías favoritos de la banda, "Sweet And Tender Hooligan" grabados un 2 de diciembre de 1986.

For my money, The Smiths are the greatest singles band ever. So, the fact that this is a collection of previously released songs (and b-sides at that) and not a proper album means very little to me. The important thing is that these are really strong songs and there's a lot of them. Johnny Marr – guitars, piano, harmonica, slide guitar on "Panic", [11] mandolin on "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" and "Golden Lights",The cover art for Louder Than Bombs, designed by Morrissey, features British playwright Shelagh Delaney of Salford, Greater Manchester. The photograph was originally published in the Saturday Evening Post after Delaney, at the age of 19, made her literary debut with the play A Taste of Honey. The play inspired many early lyrics written by Morrissey, and the song "This Night Has Opened My Eyes" (included here) is based on the plight of the play's heroine, Jo, an unwed mother. Singles were one of the most important things that brought us together, a love of the classic 7” pop format,” Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr told Guitar Player magazine in 1990. “Those were the records I grew up with. A huge facet of what we were about was missed out on, because singles culture is so ineffectual in America. But I thought Louder Than Bombs, the singles collection, was great.” The differences: ‘Louder Than Bombs’ versus ‘The World Won’t Listen There's only one clunker in The Smiths entire career and it happens to appear here, of course I'm talking about "Golden Lights." Creo y estoy seguro de que con Johnny Marr , el gran Morrissey Official , quien cumplió años hace 4 días, llegó a descubrir totalmente el estilo de música que siempre quiso hacer y viceversa.

the only thing as great as a Smiths album is a Smiths bsides album. Seriously, this album is filled to the max with 24 bsides that are all fantastic. That being said, here are some random thoughts of mine about the Smiths... Not a word about the music itself yet. This does include timeless classics like "Is it really so strange?", "Hand in glove", "Sheila take a bow", "Panic", "Ask", "Heaven knows I'm miserable now" and "William it was really nothing". All excellent pop songs with great Johnny Marr guitar lines and melodies and great Morrissey lyrics. But again, all of it is also available on Singles which makes a much better compilation. When a compilation album doesn't do its job properly it doesn't matter that it's full of wonderful music. And that's exactly the case here. Goddard, S, 2013. Songs That Saved Your Life - The Art of The Smiths 1982-87. 2nd ed. U.K.: Titan Books. P. 217.Craig Gannon – rhythm guitar on "Half a Person", "London", "Panic", "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby", "Ask" and "Golden Lights", lead guitar on outro of "London", [14] mandolin on "Golden Lights" [15] But even in the midst of all the self-pity, "Ask" displays a positive vibe and a sincerity that is infectious and even touching. It's an invitation to all the shy, reclusive ones out there to "ask" Moz if there's anything they'd ever like to try. "I won't say no, how could I?" he says. And it goes without mentioning that the tune behind it is downright infectious. En cuanto al disco, fue el tercer álbum doble oficial recopilatorio que fue lanzado para el mercado americano por el sello "Sire" ya que un mes antes en Europa, se había lanzado el también genial "The World Won't Listen". Sire released Louder Than Bombs as a cassette and double-vinyl set on 31 March 1987 (a CD edition would follow in May). It was reviewed with gusto by the US music press (Spin magazine wrote, “This well-sequenced double album collection of new recordings and single sides previously unavailable on a US LP is the ultimate Smiths statement as it compiles most of their peak moments”), whose endorsements helped the album earn a gold certification.
