In the October, "500 Greatest Songs" October issue of Blender magazine, the Smiths rate twice. The relevant bits: (page 100, accompanied by a photo of Morrissey circa the Smiths) #59-How Soon Is Now, The Smiths, 1985: Their greatest hit started out as a B-side; Part of Morrissey and Johnny Marr's original plan was that every Smiths single would start with an instantly recognizable guitar introduction, none of which is more striking than the tremolo riff that opens "How Soon Is Now?." Originally a bonus track on the "William, It Was Really Nothing" single, "Soon" was their first U.S. hit, and became a dance standard-ironic for a song about leaving a club alone and depressed. (page 125) #431-There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, The Smiths 1986: Morrissey has a wild night out, mopes about it.
