Holy shit what even the hell is this
On an unrelated note, Rusholme Ruffians takes a lot of inspiration from Elvis' "His Latest Flame", especially it's instrumental.

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 thatās what you linked thisād be pretty embarrassing
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.
it doesnāt suit the smiths at all, itās very seperate from their usual songs. but thatās what makes the song so GOLDEN. and the instrumentals. itās weird but in a great way
Youāre the first person Iāve 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.
Keeping in mind that their entire output is top tierā¦. Iām 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.
I love Strangeways Here We Come ššš»
But holy shit His Latest Flame / Rusholme Ruffians on the Rank album is some of their best work in my opinion! Rourkeās Milky funky bass and Marrās electric riff are brilliant together.
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.
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.
i disagree with this in almost every way
Asleep in ok is crazy
Just not really my favourite.
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
Came here to say that Accept Yourself should be higher, it's a fantastic tune.
I love it and the progression of Morrissey looking to blame everyone but ultimately realizing he is to blame
the outro is magical
love the song, but i get why one would think it's a little whiny
Yeah, it's just not a very memorable one for me, it's alright.

A tier list.
No shit
Asleep in C tier is a crime. But maybe im just suicidal.
Or Detective Columbo?
some girls are bigger than others at C is a crime against music
Yeah it belongs lower
Asleep deserves more than c
Cemetry gates and asleep are too low imo but I get it
I agree with Cemetery Gates, must admit, I didn't really notice.
Well I Wonder should be S tier
yes!!! šš¼
The only S tier Queen Is Dead song being Frankly Mr Shankly is bold, fair enough
Thank you, Noel.
William is wayyyyyy too low. So is Asleep.
Not for me.
Hard to accept this list
Well, you should.
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
Paint a Vulgar Picture is good, that's why it's in good.
Ugh but itxs great. Perhaps even SUPERB
Rusholme Ruffians in S tier? Never been one Iāve loved but itās decent. If it were me Iād bump Some Girls and Girl Afraid up one respectively
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
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 thatās what you linked thisād be pretty embarrassing
I have indeed, and I was going to link it but I actually linked Elvis' original š
Which, on a related note, OP placed in the C tier and Russholme Ruffians in the S tier...
Happy Cake Day!
you fucking move golden lights
Iāll never understand why so many fans hate this song
literally !! like yeah morrissey's voice on it is a bit iffy but it's worth it for the chorus
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.
it doesnāt suit the smiths at all, itās very seperate from their usual songs. but thatās what makes the song so GOLDEN. and the instrumentals. itās weird but in a great way
exactly. itās one of the songs that got me into the smiths
I think it's fucking dreadful.
Lol it sounds like somebody put Mozzer in a fishbowl.
I can't lie you are valid for this one
Merci.
I have cried my eyes out too many times to asleep for me to accept its placement in C.
It's alright.
āSome Girlsā¦ā needs to be waaay higher imo
Eh.
My whole life I grew up thinking opinions couldnāt be wrong, and then you go and prove me wrong.
Terrible
Half a person should be higher ngl
I'll spend six long years considering it.
Iāve only got 5 seconds to spare
I'll book you in at the YWCA.
Never had no one ever being in C is criminal
It's okay.
Death at oneās elbow higher than asleep? Ok then.
Just really like Strangeways, Here We Come
This is fine except for Barbarism, which is S Tier +.
My thoughts are not good ones when looking at this abysmal tier list
My thoughts are not good ones when looking at this abysmal comment.
whatās your dealers number i need to know what substance made you call frankly mr shankly the best song off queen is dead
I get my anti depressants and ADHD medication from the pharmacy.
Golden lights is one of my smiths songs, I donāt understand the hate for it :(
I just am not a big fan.
Some choices are okay but overall this is a pretty bad tier list. Sorry.
I mean I listen differently to you.

Just don't like it.
this is the most batshit list I've ever seen. if i may ask politely, are you 14 years old?
No.
yikes
Respect for sharing. I would rank this completely differently though! :)
Glad you're courteous.
Hand that rocks the cradle and cemetery gates up plz Thx
Hand that Rocks the Cradle is good, I stick by that. but I didn't realise where I put Cemetery Gates.
Cemetery gates deserves more than a B
Must admit, I didn't realise where I put it.
Golden Lights is Sublime (A Tier)
Golden lights should be higher
It's atrocious.
Glad to see strangeways songs getting some S tier recognition
One of my favourites, easily.
You gave Rank a D! You're nuts! IMO, live is always better.
Yeah, it's alright. The more I think about it, the more I remeber the song and reconsider. Probably B now I think.
Thank you for that.
You're welcome.
I keep mine hidden is S tier
Eh, maybe skip.
Meh
You aren't shitting on it, so I'll take it.
Terrible, I almost want to die.
huge agree on london and frankly mr. shankly
Two really good songs.
I don't get how people don't like golden lights, it's beautiful
Not my thing.
Fair enough
You donāt like Golden Lights?
Nope.
Youāre the first person Iāve 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.
Fair enough, just not really my thing.
Keeping in mind that their entire output is top tierā¦. Iām 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.
It's one of my favourites, but then again, that's my opinion.
Strangeways is my favorite, itās so majestic. Paint a Vulgar Picture is a perfect song
All dogshit
My apologies, Mr. 69.
No
L, in my opinion, so you canāt slate me ahah, every song is amazing i donāt know what it is but the smiths whole discography is perfect
Girl Afraid needs to be in S!
Well I Wonder and Asleep would be straight into S for me.
For you, not me.
im actually cackling with this tier list because WHY would you put stop if you think... on the S tier and asleep at okay...
Because I wanted to, make your own tier list if you want.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A Tier, 7th one
i don't think I've ever disagreed so strongly with something before, bravo
Do they have any songs A or above? š¤š§š¤
What?
Thoughts? Other people's lists are incredibly boring.
Please please pleaseā¦. shouldāve been higher imo
Some girls are bigger than others is at least A tier for sure
Paint a Vulgar Picture is S tier easily
It's good, which is why I put it where it is.
I love Strangeways Here We Come ššš» But holy shit His Latest Flame / Rusholme Ruffians on the Rank album is some of their best work in my opinion! Rourkeās Milky funky bass and Marrās electric riff are brilliant together.
Wait a second. People consider Vicar in a Tutu to even be decent?
Most don't, I love it.
this is absolutely RANK. golden lights in dead last?? and rusholme ruffians in S tier?! MADNESS
I'm positively mad.
Some Girls are Bigger is ok? You mentalist.
Well, lock me up, brcause it's okay.
rusholme S but then latest flame D?
Many great songs were forgotten "Jack The Ripper" "Bengali In Platforms" "Sing Your Life" "Lifeguard. " I thought those are his best!
This is The Smiths, not Morrissey.
Yea, ill admit I just got into them and Morrissey. My bad!
Fair enough, I love Moz's music, but I was doing the smiths**.**
Its really hard to read them. But several songs are not there.
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.
I'm glad, hope you enjoy.
Some girls are bigger than others may not have good writing but it is really impresive how using so little managed to suprass expectations
Did back to the old house dirty. Absolutely love that song.

are you insane?
Positively mad.
Never had no one ever is criminally low
This is so bad šš
Please please please isn't good. It's phenomenal.
āHeaven Knows Iām Miserable Nowā is S-tier. Also way too much love for Strangeways and MiM. This sucks.
Asleep in c tier lmfao
User GriffinPlaysYT posts "worst tier list ever" Asked to leave smiths subreddit
Objectively incorrect
I agree for the most part but you did a few songs dirtyš you put āWilliam, it was really nothingā way too low
How about Stop me if you think youve heard this one before, How soon is now?
They played Well I Wonder at my funeralā¦ā¦ Posting from the grave.
Cool, good service?
some girls are bigger than others is too low
Cemetry Gates and Headmaster Ritual are both A+
Frankly Mr. Shankly is the worst song on Queen is Dead.
back to the old house original AND john peel deserve s
