My favorite Smiths song wasn't even sung by Morrissey. Jeane sung by Sandie Shaw (one of Morrissey's favorite singers). Rare as fuck and Morrissey sings backing vocals.
Another great singer singing for my favorite singer (but not the version I prefer):

Hard to choose pretty much every song off the first three albums has been my favourite at some point or another.
Some that stick out in my mind though are:
I KNOW IT'S OVER
HEADMASTER RITUAL
THESE THINGS TAKE TIME
CEMETERY GATES
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE
and SOME GIRLS ARE BIGGER THAN OTHERS is easily my all time favourite Marr picking.
edit: shit can't believe I forgot STILL ILL that was my favourite for like a whole year
-
not sure about "the best", but lately i've really liked listening to Barbarism Begins at Home, Hand in Glove, and Nowhere Fast.
-
There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
don't get lyrics like that anymore
-
I feel in love with The Smiths after hearing Bigmouth Strikes Again. These songs seem to stand out the most
This Charming Man
What Difference Does It Make
The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
Pretty Girls Make Graves
Hand in Glove

I can't pick one, but here's four. Panic, Death Of A Disco Dancer, What Difference Does It Make and Rubber Ring.
Also I'm not too intrested in Morrisseys solo stuff, but I think Morrissey's best solo song is The Loop.

I never saw the song from that persepctive. I always thought it was about a guy finding a girl who's too lustful. He's looking for everlasting love in a woman but all he finds is whores.

Why I Love the Smiths - By Russell Brand
If I had to explain why The Smiths are the most amazing thing in the world it?s because they reach into the part of you where you feel the most weak, vulnerable and unacceptable and glorify it, make it heroic. With me it?s beyond just having a favourite band. It?s more like what Nick Hornby says about Van Morrison in Fever Pitch. If somebody doesn?t like The Smiths, that?s a black mark against them in my book.
I was only 12 years old when they split up in 1987. Before that I didn?t know fuck all. I just cared about Elvis and comedy. So I suppose you could see where I was heading. My cousins were about five years old than me. At that age I wanted them to like me so I started listening to The Smiths to impress them. But then I realised how incredible they were. To begin with it would have been the obvious classics. There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, The Boy With The Thorn In His Side, compilation albums like Louder Than Bombs. Then when I hit 15 the words suddenly became more pertinent. Puberty, basically. The age when everything Morrissey sings becomes incredibly relevant.
Johnny Marr is a brilliant musician in his own right and theirs was a wonderful collaboration, but my love of The Smiths is primarily a love of Morrissey and a love of Morrissey?s lyrics. That goes for his later solo stuff as well, from (1994′s) Vauxhall and I right the way through (2009′s) Years of Refusal. He?s been pretty consistent. Every album has its works of art, its arias of angst. And he writes great jokes. I don?t get it when people say to me, ?Oh, Morrissey?s so miserable.? Fuck off, he?s hilarious!
There was a time when I wanted to be a singer like Morrissey but I wasn?t good enough. These days I?m happy to just swish the mic cable when I?m doing stand-up, that?s as close as I get. Plus I?m very fortunate in that I now know Morrissey. He refers to me as ?a man with ringlets in his hair who wears makeup and has eye-gouging rings on each of his 12 fingers.?
I wouldn?t say we?re friends, but I don?t mean that in a derogatory way. It?s not like, say, Noel Gallagher. I knew Oasis before I knew Noel, I was a fan, and now I consider Noel to be a mate. But Morrissey is Morrissey. Still. I don?t ever forget that I?m talking to Morrissey. I do sometimes go, ?Erm, M-M-Morrissey, tell me what?s your favorite S-Smith?s track?? That?s just how I am with him. But he?s consistently, resolutely and absolutely Morrissey. I?ve never got a word of sense out of him. He won?t talk like a normal person. He never says, ?Now, Russell, here?s an anecdote for you?? It?s always weird, pithy, peculiar aphorisms and stuff. It?s not a friendship, it?s being allowed to go near Morrissey. I feel like I?m the head of the fan club rather than a friend. And I?d never do anything to antagonise him because then I?d lose my position as the head of the fan club.
He?s come to see me do stand-up. The early gigs I did in Los Angeles, I?ve had Morrissey in the audience when there?s been 50 people, and one of them him. All I could see was his quiff sticking above his head like Mickey Mouse?s ears. I looked out and thought, ?Shit! Morrissey?s in the room!? But afterwards he came up to me and said, ?I don?t know how you do it.? I was speechless. He?s really very kind. He?s autographed things for my mates. I got him to sign something for David Walliams once. A few years ago he sent me a vinyl copy of his Ringleader of the Tormentors album. It was around the time my autobiography My Booky Wook came out. So he signed it, ?To Russell. My Disky Wisk. Love Morrissey.?
His music is always in my life. I listen to The Smiths and Morrissey if not every day then certainly a few times a week. The other day I met this girl who had a tattoo of, ?There is a light that never goes out? on her. I was thinking about it, how I wouldn?t do the same. Because I don?t need The Smiths? words on my body. They?re written all over my heart.

The Smiths are one of those rare bands and moments in music when four brilliant musicians, because they are ALL brilliant players, come together and make incredible music. I can't pick 1 song that is better than them all, so I will choose 5.
This Night has Opened My Eyes
Rubber Ring
I Know it's Over
Handsome Devil
Asleep
I can't choose 5. Everything they did was brilliant, which is why they were bloody brilliant.
Great thread. I was fascinated with The Smiths for years and tried accumulating all their vinyl, until I realized it's absolutely impossible.
-
How Soon Is Now.

It's a tie between William, It Was Really Nothing and This Charming Man.
-
"Still Ill", especially live versions
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MKCMBIhPEE
-
I find every time I take a break from them then come back, I end up really liking songs I never paid attention to before.
Current Smiths Faves - I Know It's Over, Please Please Please, I Don't Owe You Anything, Unloveable, I Won't Share You, Unhappy Birthday
Current Moz Faves - Wide To Receive, Sing Your Life, Suedehead, Margaret On The Guillotine
-
I don't think I could pick one song, but one of my favorites is "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now".
-
Rubber Ring
Yes! So good.
This Charming Man is amazing, but everyone here knows that.
Bigmouth Strikes Again is one of my favs. Half a Person as well.

I've seen him live 9 times. If he plays Europe, I try to go to the 2 nearest places he plays at.
He has to be 'into' it.
I've seen him play shows where he was in an extremely good mood, and shows where he just seemed pissed off...
Its not hard to figure out which shows were the best shows.
I saw him in holland once, in a fairly small venue. I was like a foot away from him. The stage was low and he was making jokes the whole time. That was the best time I saw him.
But IF he plays near you. Just go.
A mediocre Moz show is still beter than anything you'll ever see.
Great singer, and he doesn't perform. He lives it.
I also won a signed morrissey poster a few years ago... hangs in my livingroom.

The basslines are very very very hard to play they're insane. Theyre like seperate songs within a song and it all fits together. The drums are very basic, but the bass fills that gap. Guitar wise, well damn. Try to play a smiths song and youll knoz oz hard it is.

That's what I loved about this band so much ... those fucking bass lines. And it's crazy to think they tried to disregard what the rhythm section contributed to every song when it came down to royalties and what not. Sure they didn't write the songs, but they played a huge part and contributed more than most bass players and drummers.

I see a lot of people on this thread mention "I Know It's Over". I prefer the live version on their record, 'Rank'. Probably one of their best performances if you ask me.

I've seen him live 3 times. Shows were good but kinda of bummers at the same time. 1st show I saw him at a casino in CT. dude got pissed at the crowd and said 'He felt nobody was feeling him" and left stage not performing an encore. Beers were thrown, and people including myself were pissed.
2nd Show was in Boston. That one was good. Fucking amazing actually.
3rd one was in Albany, it was good, then he started his PETA campaign mid show, huge projectors playing these gnarliy slaughtering of animals while he sang, my chick was super bummed, a lot of people left. show turned into Borrissey for a bit after but he finished up strong.
I'd go again if he plays locally but wouldn't travel to see him. I also get to see any shows in the area for free so I try and go to as many "good ones" as possible.
That "Stop me" video looks like Williamsburg on the daily, kind of funny.

The end guitar bit at the end of Pretty Girls Make Graves, Peel Session This Charming Man, What Difference Does it make from Hatful, Handsome Devil, Hand In Glove, How Soon Is Now is their best song by far. Hatful is their best Album. Morrissey Solo is better than The Smiths though.

No they don't. Are you kidding? Anyone could have come up with those rhythms, they're good players no doubt, but they didn't write the songs, they accompanied them. It's bad for band politics for people to be paid more than others, but they didn't write the music, or the lyrics. That's all that matters in song publishing.
Anyway, Morrissey hated them, even when in the band, he barely acknowledged them, they were hired musicians, that once the band became successful demanded more.

I love the way Morrissey's voice builds on The Hand that Rocks the Cradle and I'm obsessed with the piano on A Rush and a Push and the Lands is Ours. My third favorite from them right now is probably This Charming Man version from the Peel sessions.
