So many great great songs. Which song or songs do you think is underrated? Well I Wonder would be my choice. I never hear anybody say anything about it ever.

I've heard many people say that Well I Wonder is one of their favourite songs. There are lots of underrated Smiths songs, b68I'd mention Unhappy Birthday, This Night Has Opened My Eyes, Wonderful Woman, A Rush A Push And the Land Is Ours, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Girl Afraid

I love A Rush and a Push too.
'Wonderful Woman' is a good mention, and 'Jeanne'. I often wonder how on earth they weren't on any Smiths album of any description (studio or compilation). Both excellent kitchen sink tales

Well I Wonder is one my favorites
My pick goes to
Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before
I never ever hear this song mentioned anywhere.
Some others just to name a few
Barbarism Begins At Home
Nowhere Fast

Stop Me If You Think is one of my favourites.
Johnny Marr said in an interview that Strangeways.. is his favourite Smiths album (which is, BTW, something all of the Smiths seem to agree) and named Unhappy Birthday, Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before and Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me as perfect pop songs. -

and Shakespeare's Sister - does anyone like that song, bapart from me, Morrissey and, I suppose, Siobhan Fahey? LOL Rubber Ring, do people like that song? I love the lyrics to These Things Take Time, too.
Come to think of it, most Smiths songs are underrated, at least as far as general public goes, with 5b4the exception of How Soon Is Now, There Is A Light that Never Goes Out, This Charming Man, What Difference Does It Make, and maybe Bigmouth Strikes Again and Boy with the Thorn in His Side. -

there are so many underrated Morrissey songs, because he tends to put wonderful songs on B-sides - Jack The Ripper (probably my favourite Morrissey solo song ever), I'd Love To, Whatever Happens I Love You, Friday Mourning

The live version of Jack the Ripper on the 'Beethoven was Deaf' album is AWESOME.
"Crash in to my.. arms I want you!"
Love turning that one up really loud on my MP3 player
And the live version of 'Seasick, Yet Still Docked' is enough to get me a bit misty eyed sometimes.. Beautiful. And you get to hear the magical "Morr-i-ssey! Morr-i-ssey! Morr-i-ssey!" chanting.
