The worst part of it is Johnny Marr (who is infinitely more talented than right-wing Morrissey) is said to be a really sound guy...

It's a difficult thing - those of us who loved The Smiths in the 80s are having similar kind of issues here.

That is awful to hear. Over here in the UK we don't tend to realise stuff like that. It was the only one of their songs I ever really knew but I have always liked it.

Same here regarding size, if I sat on shoulders at gigs now, I would probably cause an injury 😅

It's really great to think that we may have been there at the same time! I would have been the tiny Goth living her best life 🖤😊

I bet - I would have loved that one 🖤

Early to late 90s for me, when they changed the name to Alcatraz we still called it Sector. Had to get my Goth stuff elsewhere but I loved it there.
Fan Club for Sub Pop, Sector for Skate Punk and a real mixture of alternative music 🖤

Such beautiful photos - sending so much love from all of us x 🖤

Teaching to test has been a by-product of Gove's 'reforms' and something I do not miss since leaving the classroom. Now my job is to support the mental health of A Level students who have suffered the negative effects of an unforgiving education system alongside austerity. The impact is shocking.

Take good care of yourself and keep the tunes playing 🖤
November 11, 2025 at 8:15 PM
As music so often does 🖤

I reckon that's why I like it so much 🖤😊

I saw them around that time too. Stunning 💜

Such an incredible song. I'm pleased you chose this one because I am going with a different track from the album. But I do love this one 🖤

It's a tricky call with the two versions released in separate years. But it would have won for me whichever poll it was eligible for 😊

Hi Barbie, I hope you're well. We asked Richard for a ruling earlier - because the digital version was released in November 2014 and Besteveralbums has 2014, Richard has accepted that. I had a discussion with the band about this when we did #5albums14 originally.

Sending hugs x 🖤

Seconded!
