At a rough guess only 10% (at most) will understand me. To the other 10%, what a fantastic band...

I loathed them at the start... grew to love them.....

memorable lyrics....

"I can't wait to get my hands
on your mammary glands"

they don't write them like that anymore... or maybe they do.....

I Always had mixed feelings about the Smiths- depending on my stage of life. Have you heard the cover veriosn done by the Ukranians - I think it was - "What difference does it Make" - definately a totally new dimension when sung in Ulkranian.

Zeb - is that all you have to say about them? I was expecting something a little more in depth. Your 10% presumably already know they're fantastic - do you not want to educate the 90%? Or was the ratio the whole point?

"I want to get my hands/on your mammary glands" is deep lyrics? It's just banal! I hope this isn't the best the Smiths have to offer!
