The 80's..

A bleak decade for many with the Miner's Strike, Thatcher at her best and worst, the decade fashion forgot AND The Smith's....

....A band I hated with conviction when they popped up on Top Of The Pops spoiling the glossy uber-production pop of the 80's. For the child ears on me this was the dregs of music with it's miserable singer 'Morrissey' and his motley crew of misery spreaders...

Fast-forward 10 years (my late teens/early 20's) and I finally see the bigger picture. This music is fabulous!!!! Kitchen-sink pop, chronicling the depressive nature of the 80's with it's rich musical cynicism.

Girlfriend In A Coma, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out!!!!!

Absolute classics!!!!!

I'm a manic depressive and always put this album on to cheer me up ha ha!!!!!!!

i love it so different to everythin else and it works, i love every song i started buyin all their c.ds just to see what im missin out on, this is brilliant i wanna rate it more than five stars!
