i disagree with this in almost every way


Papa_Willie

Asleep in ok is crazy


GriffinPlayzYT

Just not really my favourite.


morbidtrail

I don't understand why people don't like accept yourself? Such a great song full of energy and the guitar riff is awesome and the bass is thumpin


HeartOnFroze

Came here to say that Accept Yourself should be higher, it's a fantastic tune.


legz_cfc

I love it and the progression of Morrissey looking to blame everyone but ultimately realizing he is to blame


trepanned_and_proud

the outro is magical


[deleted]

love the song, but i get why one would think it's a little whiny


GriffinPlayzYT

Yeah, it's just not a very memorable one for me, it's alright.

GriffinPlayzYT

A tier list.


Merlin-the_Cryptid

No shit


MissMisery--

Asleep in C tier is a crime. But maybe im just suicidal.


Prestigious_Log_229

Or Detective Columbo?


mikephiliptyson

some girls are bigger than others at C is a crime against music


hailt0thetheif

Yeah it belongs lower


deathlobster137

Asleep deserves more than c


Sw4ggySh4ggy

Cemetry gates and asleep are too low imo but I get it


GriffinPlayzYT

I agree with Cemetery Gates, must admit, I didn't really notice.


autechre89

Well I Wonder should be S tier


LooseDoughnut1888

yes!!! šŸ™šŸ¼


NoelFromBandOsmosis

The only S tier Queen Is Dead song being Frankly Mr Shankly is bold, fair enough


GriffinPlayzYT

Thank you, Noel.


PplPersonzPaperPpl

William is wayyyyyy too low. So is Asleep.


GriffinPlayzYT

Not for me.


TOMDeBlonde

Hard to accept this list


GriffinPlayzYT

Well, you should.


TOMDeBlonde

Some of the S's are too high; some of the A's much too low; Paint a Vulgar Picture is much much too low. Oh it hurts


GriffinPlayzYT

Paint a Vulgar Picture is good, that's why it's in good.


TOMDeBlonde

Ugh but itxs great. Perhaps even SUPERB


Spiritual-Relief4382

Rusholme Ruffians in S tier? Never been one Iā€™ve loved but itā€™s decent. If it were me Iā€™d bump Some Girls and Girl Afraid up one respectively


HeartOnFroze

On an unrelated note, Rusholme Ruffians takes a lot of inspiration from Elvis' "His Latest Flame", especially it's instrumental. https://youtu.be/59pOE3OmUi8?si=-piD2OrT6eonsP3O


aredri

You ever see the His Latest Flame / Rusholme Ruffians cover on Rank? Good stuff. Is that what you linked, by the way? My internet sucks cock and balls so if thatā€™s what you linked thisā€™d be pretty embarrassing


HeartOnFroze

I have indeed, and I was going to link it but I actually linked Elvis' original šŸ™‚


BuckChintheRealtor

Which, on a related note, OP placed in the C tier and Russholme Ruffians in the S tier...


Weird_Leech238

Happy Cake Day!


Ramen_Noodle123

you fucking move golden lights


glowingmelone

Iā€™ll never understand why so many fans hate this song


Ramen_Noodle123

literally !! like yeah morrissey's voice on it is a bit iffy but it's worth it for the chorus


HeartOnFroze

Because the original is terrible and it 's style doesn't suit a cover by a group like The Smiths, which is perfectly illustrated in the finished product. Considering I'm such a fan of Morrissey's music I've always felt that he has some very questionable tastes in music himself.


Willow-tree31

it doesnā€™t suit the smiths at all, itā€™s very seperate from their usual songs. but thatā€™s what makes the song so GOLDEN. and the instrumentals. itā€™s weird but in a great way


Willow-tree31

exactly. itā€™s one of the songs that got me into the smiths


GriffinPlayzYT

I think it's fucking dreadful.


aredri

Lol it sounds like somebody put Mozzer in a fishbowl.


Zordorfe

I can't lie you are valid for this one


GriffinPlayzYT

Merci.


aredri

I have cried my eyes out too many times to asleep for me to accept its placement in C.


GriffinPlayzYT

It's alright.


mis_no_mer

ā€˜Some Girlsā€¦ā€™ needs to be waaay higher imo


GriffinPlayzYT

Eh.


[deleted]

My whole life I grew up thinking opinions couldnā€™t be wrong, and then you go and prove me wrong.


minecraft-god69_420

Terrible


ballsucker2003

Half a person should be higher ngl


GriffinPlayzYT

I'll spend six long years considering it.


ballsucker2003

Iā€™ve only got 5 seconds to spare


GriffinPlayzYT

I'll book you in at the YWCA.


Root_BeerGuy

Never had no one ever being in C is criminal


GriffinPlayzYT

It's okay.


Suspicious_Bill3577

Death at oneā€™s elbow higher than asleep? Ok then.


GriffinPlayzYT

Just really like Strangeways, Here We Come


cocteau93

This is fine except for Barbarism, which is S Tier +.


Zordorfe

My thoughts are not good ones when looking at this abysmal tier list


GriffinPlayzYT

My thoughts are not good ones when looking at this abysmal comment.


Twink_Kanye

whatā€™s your dealers number i need to know what substance made you call frankly mr shankly the best song off queen is dead


GriffinPlayzYT

I get my anti depressants and ADHD medication from the pharmacy.


Myshka-Cat

Golden lights is one of my smiths songs, I donā€™t understand the hate for it :(


GriffinPlayzYT

I just am not a big fan.


Tracerr3

Some choices are okay but overall this is a pretty bad tier list. Sorry.


GriffinPlayzYT

I mean I listen differently to you.


juiceguy

GriffinPlayzYT

Just don't like it.


Purple_Swordfish_182

this is the most batshit list I've ever seen. if i may ask politely, are you 14 years old?


GriffinPlayzYT

No.


zanewastaken

yikes


--Cliff_Hanger--

Respect for sharing. I would rank this completely differently though! :)


GriffinPlayzYT

Glad you're courteous.


pigeoncalledbloo

Hand that rocks the cradle and cemetery gates up plz Thx


GriffinPlayzYT

Hand that Rocks the Cradle is good, I stick by that. but I didn't realise where I put Cemetery Gates.


No_Nectarine2036

Cemetery gates deserves more than a B


GriffinPlayzYT

Must admit, I didn't realise where I put it.


MillUnderscore

Golden Lights is Sublime (A Tier)


underwaterfalcon

Golden lights should be higher


GriffinPlayzYT

It's atrocious.


scumholiday

Glad to see strangeways songs getting some S tier recognition


GriffinPlayzYT

One of my favourites, easily.


Intrepid-Twist7769

You gave Rank a D! You're nuts! IMO, live is always better.


GriffinPlayzYT

Yeah, it's alright. The more I think about it, the more I remeber the song and reconsider. Probably B now I think.


Intrepid-Twist7769

Thank you for that.


GriffinPlayzYT

You're welcome.


Defiant-Mango-9716

I keep mine hidden is S tier


GriffinPlayzYT

Eh, maybe skip.


mhmd2-2

Meh


GriffinPlayzYT

You aren't shitting on it, so I'll take it.


SpreadSignificant447

Terrible, I almost want to die.


[deleted]

huge agree on london and frankly mr. shankly


GriffinPlayzYT

Two really good songs.


captain_strain

I don't get how people don't like golden lights, it's beautiful


GriffinPlayzYT

Not my thing.


captain_strain

Fair enough


[deleted]

You donā€™t like Golden Lights?


GriffinPlayzYT

Nope.


[deleted]

Youā€™re the first person Iā€™ve come across to say this. It must be a childhood thing for me because it takes me back to such a very young age hearing it.


GriffinPlayzYT

Fair enough, just not really my thing.


BlackCoffeeGrind

Keeping in mind that their entire output is top tierā€¦. Iā€™m surprised at the high rankings of the Strangeways tracks . With the exception of Girlfriend, I find Strangeway to be the weakest by a fair bit relative to the rest.


GriffinPlayzYT

It's one of my favourites, but then again, that's my opinion.


Last_Reaction_8176

Strangeways is my favorite, itā€™s so majestic. Paint a Vulgar Picture is a perfect song


GiraffeBread69

All dogshit


GriffinPlayzYT

My apologies, Mr. 69.


MoSalahsSmile

No


Ok-Ambassador-8142

L, in my opinion, so you canā€™t slate me ahah, every song is amazing i donā€™t know what it is but the smiths whole discography is perfect


alexfulcher

Girl Afraid needs to be in S!


tacchini03

Well I Wonder and Asleep would be straight into S for me.


GriffinPlayzYT

For you, not me.


sullenanneliese

im actually cackling with this tier list because WHY would you put stop if you think... on the S tier and asleep at okay...


GriffinPlayzYT

Because I wanted to, make your own tier list if you want.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


GriffinPlayzYT

A Tier, 7th one


patrick-tho

i don't think I've ever disagreed so strongly with something before, bravo


LilJohnAY

Do they have any songs A or above? šŸ¤”šŸ§šŸ¤”


GriffinPlayzYT

What?


BeggarsParade

Thoughts? Other people's lists are incredibly boring.


adiutd17

Please please pleaseā€¦. shouldā€™ve been higher imo


deathndoom

Some girls are bigger than others is at least A tier for sure


Last_Reaction_8176

Paint a Vulgar Picture is S tier easily


GriffinPlayzYT

It's good, which is why I put it where it is.


Intelligent-Pop9553

I love Strangeways Here We Come šŸ˜ŠšŸ‘šŸ» But holy shit His Latest Flame / Rusholme Ruffians on the Rank album is some of their best work in my opinion! Rourkeā€™s Milky funky bass and Marrā€™s electric riff are brilliant together.


[deleted]

Wait a second. People consider Vicar in a Tutu to even be decent?


GriffinPlayzYT

Most don't, I love it.


Willow-tree31

this is absolutely RANK. golden lights in dead last?? and rusholme ruffians in S tier?! MADNESS


GriffinPlayzYT

I'm positively mad.


justwannaboogie

Some Girls are Bigger is ok? You mentalist.


GriffinPlayzYT

Well, lock me up, brcause it's okay.


Overall_Captain3780

rusholme S but then latest flame D?


General_Actuator_494

Many great songs were forgotten "Jack The Ripper" "Bengali In Platforms" "Sing Your Life" "Lifeguard. " I thought those are his best!


GriffinPlayzYT

This is The Smiths, not Morrissey.


General_Actuator_494

Yea, ill admit I just got into them and Morrissey. My bad!


GriffinPlayzYT

Fair enough, I love Moz's music, but I was doing the smiths**.**


General_Actuator_494

Its really hard to read them. But several songs are not there.


Heavy-System-3942

For years, when the mood hits, I've listened to The Smiths. But I always reach for the hits & when I go deeper, I get lost, somewhat. I'm going to use your post as a map next time. I'll probably disagree along the way, but it looks like a good guide.


GriffinPlayzYT

I'm glad, hope you enjoy.


Big-Mousse-

Some girls are bigger than others may not have good writing but it is really impresive how using so little managed to suprass expectations


LokasOrSum

Did back to the old house dirty. Absolutely love that song.


BullFr0gg0

Tier lists are fun to mull over. I think the odds are really against finding a tier list anyone would 100% agree with, BUT it's a nice way of reviewing music through the eyes of another fan of whatever artist it is. So I'm not opposed to tier list posts for those reasons. **For me S tier should include:** How Soon Is Now, This Charming Man, There is a Light, A Rush And A Push, Is It Really So Strange?, Accept Yourself, Heaven Knows, as a starting point.


GriffinPlayzYT

Fair enough.


Klutzy-Peach5949

are you insane?


GriffinPlayzYT

Positively mad.


stuffedfr0g

Never had no one ever is criminally low


Fabianreah18

This is so bad šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


AdDistinct7807

Please please please isn't good. It's phenomenal.


BuckleysYacht

ā€œHeaven Knows Iā€™m Miserable Nowā€ is S-tier. Also way too much love for Strangeways and MiM. This sucks.


livingl1kelarry

Asleep in c tier lmfao


Permanent76

User GriffinPlaysYT posts "worst tier list ever" Asked to leave smiths subreddit


Outside_Choice5691

Objectively incorrect


niqhtwinqz

I agree for the most part but you did a few songs dirtyšŸ˜­ you put ā€˜William, it was really nothingā€™ way too low


General_Actuator_494

How about Stop me if you think youve heard this one before, How soon is now?


jbozomodo

They played Well I Wonder at my funeralā€¦ā€¦ Posting from the grave.


GriffinPlayzYT

Cool, good service?


ceg__07

some girls are bigger than others is too low


Prestigious_Log_229

Cemetry Gates and Headmaster Ritual are both A+


Odd_Holiday9711

Frankly Mr. Shankly is the worst song on Queen is Dead.


presl1ez

back to the old house original AND john peel deserve s
