The lack of votes for The Smiths sickens me.

It is quite depressing. Something should be done.

[Dingle]

I can accept different musical tastes, but The Smiths being absent from this many top tens is quite strange. They weren't as influential as The Beatles, nor in the same way, but the music is still "in" and isn't outdated.

You have songs like Handsome Devil,

and

are all quite cheery and easy to listen to, I find.

Usually it's the fact that Morrissey = depressed. Which, whilst the lyrics do portra imagery to that effect, the music and overall production have never put me into a depressed state and are usually very helpful for relating to "life's complexities".

I shall keep this campaign alive, and here's a lovely picture for you who wont click links or read >_>.

[gunnar hendershow]

If I had an 11th I would have included The Smiths.

[Dingle]

Well why not make them number one to make up for this injustice?

[METALMAN]

Speaking of the Smiths, I listened to Strangeways, Here We Come today. I think it is my least favourite Smiths album, though still very good. Fantastic first six tracks, though let down a bit by three of the last four tracks not being too good.

So yeah...vote for the Smiths!

[lari]

If I had an 11th I would have included The Smiths.
