i really like tony the pony believe it or not am i the only one???

No, you're not the only one. I do love this song as well!!!
 
Jack the Ripper is one of Moz's best songs, period. It's scandalous how it was only a b-side. Why oh why didn't he make it a single!? Does anyone now this? I'd say it's slightly better than, let's say, Our Frank and Pregnant For The Last Time, both of which were singles.

I'd say it's miles better!

Morrissey's decision to put a song on a B-side don't have to mean that he regards them as weaker. He has said once, when he was asked why Nobody Loves Us was just a B-side, that he believes that B-sides should be as good as A-sides, and that he thinks Nobody Loves Us is one of his best songs.



1. Jack The Ripper
2. I'd Love To
You Must Please Remember
Yes, I Am Blind
Nobody Loves Us
Whatever Happens, I Love You
Friday Mourning
Disappointed
This Is Not Your Country
I Know Very Well How I Got My Name

honorable mentions:
The Public Image, I've Changed My Plea To Guilty, Skin Storm, A Song From Under the Floorboards, Sweetie-pie...

Yeah it's good. Moz hates it now, don't why he should though.

absolutely. fell in love w/ that song the first time i heard it.

Cool, the studio version is so underrated. It has a completely different feel from the live version, it's a fantastic composition both ways.

Great list, nightandday. :) You've proven you've had very good taste many times. I'll spare mentioning the obvious (like how Nobody Loves Us really is one of his best songs) and just point out how you made some underrated picks. You Must Please Remember is achingly beautiful, and Friday Mourning and The Public Image are two of the best songs from the Quarry sessions. This is Not Your Country is completely overlooked, and I Know Very Well has been unfortunately overlooked because of how great the other Viva Hate b-sides are. And Skin Storm and Song/Floorboards are two of his best covers.

i was thinking the exact same thing when i saw you'd asked the question about which version. the studio version and the live version are so very different, but both fantastic.
 
only use studio recordings (no live takes)

1 jack the ripper
2 its hard to walk tall when you're small
3 sister i'm a poet
4 nobody loves us
5 will never marry
6 hairdresser on fire
7 such a little thing makes such a big difference
8 let the right one slip in
9 girl least likely to
10 lucky lisp

you wanna go ahead and list all the b-sides
so i can make a proper choice?

no, i thought not
:cool:

I agree, although I still give a slight preference to the studio version. Live version sounds very dramatic, and the guitar is great, but Morrissey's voice is especially creepily seductive in the studio version, which makes the studio version particularly chilling in a subtle way. And, of course, there is the additional verse.
 
no particular order:


01. sweetie pie
02. interlude
03. sunny
04. song from under the floorboards
05. never played symphonies
06. hard to walk tall when you're small
07. girl least likely to
08. hairdresser on fire
09. i knew i was next
10. christian dior
