I'll help you out, it's possible for someone to prefer The Smiths over New Order and to prefer The Rolling Stones over The Smiths.

Colonel Kurtz is still moping around with a quiff, cardigan, Smiths t-shirt and a book of Oscar Wilde poetry.

Where the fuck are the other 22 Smiths voters from the semis ?

Insert other media.url

Let me help.

 

One day two old ladies wander down your drive. Knowing the man hole is only big enough to fit one body per day down it, you decide to murder the one you dislike the look of most.

 

The next day the surviving old lady, perhaps rather stupidly, is back on your drive with another old lady.

 

You apply the same murderous thinking as the day before, but this time the lady who survived the first time meets her grizzly fate.  
 

To summarise, you preferred the old lady you murdered on day two over the lady you murdered on day one, but not over the lady that survived day two.

 

Hope this clears it up.

The Smiths should tap out here.

Hang the DJ,perhaps?

Considering the status of (the Beatles and) the Stones, the Smiths deserve a parade just for making it to the final.

Seems a slightly lopsided tie considering The Stones have a back catalogue spanning almost 60 years compared to The Smiths’s five. But it is what it is and the Stones should walk it. 

 

Both ace, but it’s the Smiths for me because I’m mad on them ATM, and they’ve managed to cement their legend in just half a decade together.

Most of those 60 years are shite though.

They did enough in about 10 to walk past almost all of the bands in this contest.

They'd arguably have been better keeping it to those ten.   More money to be made tho ££££

I voted for The Smiths in the semi. They were up against a lesser version of Erasure  ffs.

They were deemed an Oasis tribute band.

I nearly put Oasis in the final. I’ve loved this and all the responses to every round. It’s been a nice relief from covid etc. That said, that oasis/blur tie is one of the most corrupt rounds I’ve ever seen.

If you think New Order are a lesser version of Erasure then you don't deserve a vote!

The Smiths have a 5 year back catalogue?

 

A cemented legend of half a decade?

 

If only it were true.

 

The monotonous creeps have been hawking their single tedious tune, disguised in plagiarised lyrics, since at least 1984.

 

 

Every day is like Sunday, every day is silent and grey.

 

Sums up the Smiths to perfection.

Boring cunts.

 

 

 

[cloggypop]

That's a Morrissey solo song. 

 

The Smiths split in 1987.

Interesting thread to come out on but fair play to you.

A bit of a guilty pleasure but I quite like this song. I believe it’s about his brothers suicide so I can live with its limitations. 

[Gnasher]

Hold the front page. Late game changer?
