1.) This Charming Man - It's upbeat, catchy and makes you want to dance! Okay, makes ME want to dance!

2.) Hand In Glove- A Song about forbidden love. Sure, there may be a lot of metaphors and analogies we may not understand, but it's still a great song.

3.) Sweet and Tender Hooligan- Need I say more?

4.) There is a light that never goes out- Long title, right? Beautiful song. A bit depressing, maybe even melancholy. But morbidly romantic. This is one of the best love songs by The Smiths. By far! Maybe there IS something wrong with me.

5.) Asleep- Featured in the best selling novel, Perks of Being a Wallflower. If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you do that now. Another depressing, maybe a little suicidal song.

6.) Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before- I take back what I said about #4, THIS song has the longest title!

7.) How Soon Is Now?- A Very Popular, dark song that has been featured in movies such as, "The Wedding Singer" and was also the theme song for the television series, "Charmed". Although that version was performed by a cover band.

8.) Ask- This song gave me the courage to ask my crush out! =)

9.) Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now-Everyone has been at that point in their lives, right? Great song to listen to when you're having a bad day.

10.) Panic- Like a lot of Morrissey's song, this is very catchy and melodic. Sing it with me! "Hang the Dj, Hang the Dj, Hang the DJ!"

**I know a lot of you Smiths fans are saying, "Hey, you forgot this one!" These are just a compilation of my favorite songs. We all know that it is impossible to just list 10, but I had to keep it short! Let me know what your favorite songs are!**

A good first hub. You're well on your way! Just out of curiousity, do you like the Police or the Red Hot Chili Peppers?

I like The Smiths too. They make the most horrible events sound happy and gay. "I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday" really sounds friendly and "girlfriend in a coma" is joyful. Nice hub :)

1 Panic (Hang the DJ ! )

2 Shoplifters of the world Unite !

3 Girlfriend In a coma

4 Half a person

These are some of my particular favorites from that era and I still listen to those songs constantly In addition to the ones you have listed . In any event excellent list !

Oh one last sidebar I believe the guy who sang " How soon Is now " Is Richard Butler from The Psychedelic Furs , on the Charmed TV show . He did not exactly do It justice .

Good stuff !
