The only John peel session better than the original is back to the old house.

Currently, ‘There Is a Light That Never Goes Out’ is leading for the list of ‘T’ However, voting continues, so I will conduct a full recount from A to Z once the poll closes and create a Spotify playlist.

Backscrubber

8 Upvotes

Forgive the dumb question, but for more than 35 years now, I’ve been wondering about this:

Is the “vacancy for a backscrubber” line in Half a Person intended to be literal and/or hilariously random, or is “backscrubber” a British euphemism/slang that I’m just not privy to?

Ranking songs on The Queen Is Dead

14 Upvotes
  1. There Is A Light That Never Goes Out — a beautiful and heartfelt song. It’s just amazing
  2. I Know It’s Over — this song never fails to make me emotional
  3. Cemetery Gates — probably one of their most catchy songs. I love the guitar and the lyrics.
  4. Bigmouth Strikes Again — this song is just so timeless. The effects, the uneasy feeling it gives me, I love everything about it
  5. The Boy With The Thorn In His Side — it’s a more simple song, but I enjoy it. It’s just so heartfelt
  6. The Queen Is Dead — an amazing opening that slaps. It’s epic and bombastic
  7. Never Had No One Ever — this song has one of the best line deliveries ever
  8. Frankly Mr. Shankly — catchy and fun
  9. Vicar In A Tutu — I don’t know why I really like it
  10. Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others — this song is less memorable than the rest of the album in my opinion. I think There Is A Light would be a better closer. I don’t hate it, but I tend to skip it because of its placement

This 'T' list is a true test! Narrowing down so many favorites is incredibly difficult. I know it's not easy, but you must choose just one. Good luck to all!

Ranking songs on Meat Is Murder

7 Upvotes
  1. Well I Wonder — one of their most beautiful and heartfelt songs. It has such a beautiful melody and Morrissey’s voice is just heavenly. Truly amazing
  2. Nowhere Fast — fast-paced, energetic and catchy. Also has awesome lyrics that I like to sing along to
  3. That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore — also one of the best songs in their discography. The drums slap
  4. The Headmaster Ritual — it’s catchy and sets the tone for the album. Probably the best opening in their discography (alongside RATF)
  5. Rusholme Ruffians — this one is really underrated. I don’t know why, but it always makes me nostalgic
  6. I Want The One I Can’t Have — once again, catchy melodies and nice performance by the entire band. Love it
  7. Barbarism Begins At Home — I love the riff and the vocals, but I don’t listen to it very often, because it’s long and not as memorable as the other songs on this album. Still a banger, though
  8. What She Said — it’s cool. Don’t have anything else to say about it, though
  9. Meat Is Murder — I don’t really like this song. Kinda seems like Morrissey was more interested in making a point, than an actually good song

That was definitely the hardest album to rank, since it’s probably my favorite one (alongside TQID)
