Johnny Marr doing the rounds plugging his new album. A talented and unique bloke. What is his / The Smiths finest moment ?

The Smiths - There is A Light That Never Goes out - YouTube

Sublime and superb.

One of the greatest pieces of all time imo. Inception - Time. Hans Zimmer with Johnny Marr.

Great song, incredibly poignant if not very haunting.

Then pure mentalness on the other side of the coin

How soon is now for sure. It is the stairway to heaven from the 80's, what difference does it make is quite close behind though.
I bloody love The Smiths.

First thought: Please please please.
But cemetery gates is the most beautiful song ever written, perfection, so will plump for that.

"The Boy With The Thorn In His Side". Short but effortlessly classy, this song will never date and I love it.

They did far too many great songs, so a difficult choice but I will have to go for:

Reel around the Fountain
Cemetery Gates
Well I Wonder

Closely followed by the sublime silliness of Some Girls and Frankly, Mr Shankly

'Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me' or 'I Won't Share You' - it was all about Marr for me, not a big fan of the lyrics, and these were my favourite two tunes.

Yes, this has to be the finest Marr moment. I'm surprised there's even a debate, tbh.
