Ohrobot's greatest albums of all time: The Smiths - Hatful of hallow

Click here to crack the whip. You deserve it.

This may be my very favorite Smiths album of all time simply for its inclusion of "Handsome Devil." The driving force behind that songs only upsets me because it isn't longer than it is.

I was inspired to post this album because of a conversation with a young lady who isn't old enough to drink, but knows just as much about the 80's as someone who was a teenager then. This conversation led me to realize something that I'd known all along, but had forgotten; every cool kid, male or female, that I've ever come across has been infatuated with Morrissey at one point or another.

What is it with that guy anyway? He's like the Pied Piper for kids with emotional issues. As for me, I worshiped him completely. If he wore a checkered shirt, I wore one. If he wore big glasses, so did I. I wish that I still had the ten composition books full of poetry I wrote back then. I'm sure that it wouldn't bring any tears to your eyes, but they were good enough to be set to the back beat of Johnny Marr's guitar.

Awesomeness! Morrissey is without a doubt one of the best. And if i am that "young lady who isn't old enough to drink, but knows just as much about the 80's as someone who was a teenager then" that inspired you to write this blog I am oh so flattered and somewhat proud of my self for having caused it. See you on the bus man.
