It's probably been done previously on here, although maybe buried in the archives, but I'm trying to compile a Smiths playlist (not Morrissey solo) , as per the thread title.

Musically, & lyrically, which are the most gentle, most beautiful, most meaningful, & which evoke the most emotion, in your opinion?

Here's where I'm at (in no particular order):

1 Well I Wonder
2 I Know It's Over
3 There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
4 Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
5 Asleep
6 I Won't Share You
7 Unloveable
8 That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore
9 This Night Has Opened My Eyes
10 Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want
11 Half A Person
12 I Don't Owe You Anything
13 The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
14 Back To The Old House
15 Suffer Little Children

Thoughts...

Barbarism Begins at Home
Meat is Murder
 
I know it’s Over- live in Boston June I6 1986
Physically and mentally it’s all it should be and it was.
 
Stretch Out and Wait?

there are many, but that was the first one that popped into my head.

Surprised it wasn’t in Mozmar’s list.
 
I also think Reel with its profoundly sad narrative...lyrically it is quite dark but I’m transported by that
Careful thought police are about..

If I'd have got them all then you'd have had nothing to add...sometimes you have to leave a few obvious gaps..;)
