Tom Waits released some great albums during the 80’s as well.
Double Nickels On The Dime deserves a mention."Robert" wrote:God how I hate U2 & The Smiths.Yeah me too.I could listen to The Smiths if they did`nt have Morrissey
I’ve really tried to like the Smiths, I really have.
Some friends think they’re absolutely fantastic, friends that I like and respect a lot, so I’ve tried but it’s just not happening.
I get pissed off by listening to a Smiths album.I love the Smiths! Louder Than Bombs is a terrific album which I can admit to listening to almost to a psychotic degree. And the album ends with Asleep which makes me want to cry and jump off a bridge.
Nirvana ~ Bleach Shut up and go to hell if you don’t like this album.
Oi, no need to get all defensive for liking Bleach
There’s probably 37 great albums from the 80’s that I forgot to mention in my posts, that doesn’t mean I think you’re mrs smelly pants for mentioning them.Can you teach me how to like the smiths ?
"Robert" wrote:Can you teach me how to like the smiths ?No. Morrissey has forbidden me from speaking to non-believers.
Oh my, I just looked up what the #1 song on the charts was on the day of my birthday and it was Maneater by Hall and Oats.
Ps. Shut up, Robert.
Love, Morrisseyhttp://www.joshhosler.biz/NumberOneInHistory/SelectMonth.htm”>http://www.joshhosler.biz/NumberOneInHi … tMonth.htm
But I’m not sure it goes back as far as 1927
Sweet !
Though I’ve never heard of the song or group that was #1 on my birthday
The joke’s on you, because I goes all the way to 1890. So there !
Curse! Foiled again!
Oh no! Now I can’t get Maneater out of my head! Do you think my mom and dad rocking out to that song on the day I was born in any way affected my life?
