The Smiths

Getting back into listening to these guys a bit more lately. Something about my life right now seems to need the sad crooning and melodic guitar of this great band. I think what triggered it was hearing How Soon is Now a couple of weeks ago -- everyone's all time favorite Smiths song even if you don't admit it to anyone.

Not having actively listened to these guys since, well, the early 90s I suppose, I had forgotten just how good their entire inventory is, not just the hits but everything. Not really any weakness anywhere.

Shame they won't ever get back together. A while back we were at a Violent Femmes show (yes, they are still a group) and someone asked, "Who would you stand in line to see?". I answered The Smiths and that's about it (pending the afterlife enabled reunion of Joy Division at least).

So who would you stand in line to see?
