Let the debate begin.

Back in the day when Morrissey was still with the Smiths, he was constantly attacking Robert Smith in the media for no apparent reason.

Robert Smith has gone on the record recently saying that he doesn't understand what was up Morrissey's ass, that they'd never even met. He said, "how can you hate someone so much that you know nothing about personally?" and then went on to say that he thinks Morrissey is a fine entertainer, but hasn't liked a single thing he's done musically. Ouch.

Where do you stand on this oldschool feud?

Morrissey has always seemingly had something up his craw at one time or another. He is always peacefully raging against some machine. I think it's his "sincerity."

the cure

since i fucking adore the cure and i fucking loathe the smiths, i'll have to go with sisters of mercy for the win, alex.

I love them both, but my heart belongs to The Cure.

One thing Ive always disliked about Morrissey and The Smiths was that pseudo-intellectual/elitist element they always seem to convey.

I have almost every Cure album. The only Smiths album I have is The Singles.

EEEHHHHH! Wrong answer.

I'm in the middle on this one..I like them both

Its the Smiths for me.

Although why choose cause that old woman is always moaning about something

Smiths? Cure? They both suck.

I love The Smiths' stuff, and Morrissey's solo stuff. His new one's very good.

Yeah, he can be an arse sometimes, but i think that's what endears us to him. In these very bland times he has the balls to say exactly what he thinks.

As for The Cure, i adore Lullaby. Don't know many others Was put onto Lullaby by an article Tricky wrote about it being one of his favourite songs.

What would be the first album you'd recommend for my education?

Disintergration
Has Lullaby on it..very dark, brooding album..

the smiths

Love the Cure
Hate the Smiths
Love Morrisey

The Cure. But only cause I didn't get into the Smiths and Morrissey till later in my youth. Had I opened up to them the same time I did the Cure I wouldn't be able to choose a fave.

The Smiths!

Although, I also vote for The Sisters

Love them both and I refuse to choose.

This thread is breaking my heart.

The Cure hands down! The Smiths...

Anxiety said:

don't dream it's over...ooops sorry wrong song

I dunno about the Sisters...I am a Wayne Hussey Fan so I liked it when he was with them...and the next one was good. but after that...

Me and some friends of mine tried to see the Sisters back in 96 (or maybe it was 97... or 98) and the bastards pulled a "oh sorry... my throat.... or aah... my leg... but regardless go home cause we're not gonna play tonight". Bastards! I've never liked them since.

The Cure!



(Like The Smiths, love The Cure.)

I vote for this great mixer I have with Joy Division and Fields of the Nephilim.
