The cover is the superior version, right? Even without its automatic connection to FBDO—it's pretty much impossible to see Seurat's Sunday Afternoon without hearing the song now—it's just so a rich and romantic interpretation.

Re: The All Smiths/Morrissey Thread
Fair. I'm not a hardcore fan by any stretch (other than intellectually; intellectually it's the most fascinating subset of punk) so I've not the best ears to see distinction.Flex wrote: ↑20 May 2021, 3:56pmI dunno, I think a bunch of the bands bring their own distinctive style. But I'm pretty big fan of a bunch of those bands to begin with so I might be more sensitive to what outsiders-looking-in might view as fairly minor differences in style.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑20 May 2021, 3:50pmIt's competent, certainly, but the predictability kinda ruins things for me. It could be the same band for all but the one song.

Maybe he can just start up 1-Tone Records.

Re: The All Smiths/Morrissey Thread
I actually liked the early Smiths stuff with Johnny Marr, but I've never been able to get excited about Morrissey's solo stuff.

Re: The All Smiths/Morrissey Thread
I like plenty of Morrissey solo tracks. But he's just a turd.
I always feel bad for the other members of his group who don't share his views but it's been their pay day for so long.
