Re: 10 best Johnny Marr songs, post-Smiths

Yes, I always felt that could have almost been a Smiths track...

and

True, but if so it would be the most forgettable Smiths track ever.

Wait, unless there is a sarcasm note here that I'm not picking up, it WAS a Smiths tune.

"Another single from the album, "The Right Stuff", was co-written with Johnny Marr and adapted from an instrumental B-side by The Smiths, "Money Changes Everything"."

Never fear, it's not too late to go back and pick it up.

I also liked the stuff he did for Lisa Germano..

Nothing But Flowers - Talking Heads
Get The Message - Electronic
Forbidden City - Electronic
Sexuality - Billy Bragg
Greetings To The New Brunette - Billy Bragg
The Beat(en) Generation - The The
Slow Emotion Replay - The The
Bluer Than Midnight - The The
This Is The Night - The The
Lonely Planet - The The
("Dusk" by The The is my favourite album of all time.)

Agreed - Dusk is phenomenal. The guitar solo in This Is The Night is among my all time favourite solos by any guitarist (and I include Kerry King in this). Only a couple of string bends, but the use of the wah-wah pedal, tone control and panning in the production is sublime. His finest post-Smiths moment in my book (and for me there haven't been too many - soz Johnny).

Yes, I can confirm that mild irony was being wilfully employed.
