[steph]

I Know It's Over

Well I Wonder

The Headmaster Ritual (which I appreciate more and more as the years go by)

Stop Me If

Shoplifters

*the first 2 will always be VERY special to me as are many Smiths songs are

 

[Kewpie]

Two years ago, BBC London Radio's Robert Elms Show did a poll by listeners.
The top 3 were:

1 How Soon is Now
2 There is a Light that Never Goes Out
3 Still Ill

Interesting result, but they weren't my top 3.

 

[Disappointed]

"There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"
"Cemetry Gates"
"How Soon Is Now?"
"Reel Around The Fountain"
"The Headmaster Ritual"

 

[Brown Jam]

Oh God, this is torture. It changes, and the song today is ... Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me.
No wonder I don't get up 'till twelve.

 

[celibate]

cemetry gates
i know its over
shoplifters of the world unite and take over
headmasters ritual
well i wonder

mhh, not that hard

 

[Johan de Witt]

9 of these songs have already been performed by Morrissey as a solo-artist, so does that mean we know now which songs to expect in December?

 

[whoiseuan]

So......Damn......Hard.....


I Know It's Over
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Shoplifters Of The World Unite
This Charming Man
Well I Wonder


Always changes. On another day I could easily have picked almost any of the other tracks up there.

 

[Manic Rose]

in no particular order

rubber ring
stop me..
how soon is now?
there is a light
shoplifters..

 

[DAnn Coulter]

In Order....

1. There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

2. How Soon Is Now?

3. The Boy WIth A Thorn In His Side

4. Shoplifters Of The World Unite

5. This Charming Man


So sad that I couldn't vote for "ASLEEP" or "Bigmouth Strikes Again" which would be numbers 4 & 5.
Oh well, I love all 5 of the ones I voted for.

I think that the fact he played them live, most of them recently, is one of the reasons these songs are in the final

 

[BillyBudd]

In order to get the most precise result and to prolong the vote, I think the 3-5 songs with most votes should go on to the super final where each member only has one vote. 5 votes per person is too much when crowning the very best song IMO.

 

[Jose]

Or a final in Eurovision-style: 5 points for your #1 song, and 1 point for your #5 song.

 

[Young And Alive]

What is the ninth? I only know of:

There is a light
shoplifters
rubber ring
still ill
headmaster ritual
last night i dreamt
how soon is now
stop me

Half A Person, Oye Esteban tour, but not on the European leg of that tour,
so I missed it

 

[Poco Innocente]

Stretch Out And Wait
Pretty Girls Make Graves
Girl Afraid
Panic
Asleep

 

[First of the Gang]

Half A Person
How Soon Is Now?
Rubber Ring
There Is A Light...
This Charming Man

Jeez, that was difficult!

 

[Still Tired]

That was really hard, I wish Asleep/ This Night has Opened My Eyes were up there too, but that would've only made it even more difficult for me to choose I guess! My votes:

Half a Person
I Know It's Over
Still Ill
This Charming Man
Well I Wonder

 

[Midnight]

Reel Around The Fountain
Well I Wonder
Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
Still Ill
The Headmaster Ritual

May "Reel Around The Fountain" win!

I'd absolutely love that, but at least TIALTNGO will win and that's just as good.
