1. I Will See You In Far Off Places – Morrissey – This is his masterpiece. Working around a Middle Eastern riff that sounds as though it's calling you to prayers, Morrissey says good bye to a young man and imagines a date somewhere down the road when they will be together again, "if the USA doesn't bomb you". Morrissey's deep affection for the man flows through the song like a river of love. Perhaps his greatest achievement. "I will see you somewhere safe…" Stephen hopes, in an open hearted love song – Grade: A+
2. Ask – The Smiths – "Shyness is nice and shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like too…" How can something so sweet and jangly be so quietly unsettling – Grade: A+
3. The More You Ignore Me The Closer I Get – Morrissey – People think this early solo work pointed the way to his disappointing solo career. I say, what it misses in melody it makes up for in bitterness – A
4. Girlfriend In A Coma – The Smith -Off their last album, and it was serious, and really, no big deep in quality either -Grade: A
5.Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before – The Smiths – ame album and of course we have heard this one before but, who am I to complain? – Grade: A
6. Maladjusted – Morrissey – Not the title track of his best solo album, I'll still give that to Ringleader Of The Tormentors… but of his second or third? Sure – A+
7. We Hate It When Our Friends Become Succesful – Morrissey – Off the best punned album of all time – Grade – A-
8. You're The One For Me, Fatty – Morrissey – This is such a lovely, strange and compassionate song… I imagine Stan Laurel singing it to Oliver Hardy – Grade: A+
9. Shoplifters Of The World Unite – The Smiths – I saw him encore with this at rumsey Field in the 1990s. One of the single greatest moments of my concert going career – Grade: A+
10. Meat Is Murder – Deadly, deadly earnest – Grade: A
