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.

but the studio version has the last verse he never sings live:
And no one knows a thing about my life
I can come and go as I please
and if I want to, I can stay
or if I want to, I can leave
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Nobody knows me
Ah - Ha, Nobody knows me
Ah - Ha, Nobody knows me -

Maladjusted album wasn't as bad as everyone seems to think it is (much better than Southpaw Grammar - but not as good as Vauxhall And I or Your Arsenal), and Alma Matters was one of Morrissey's best singles of the 90's.
"You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order! They're out of order!"

I think The Boy With A Thorn In His Side is under rated yes it gets mentioned a lot but when people talk about The Smiths they only seem to talk about This Charmikng Man, There Is A Light, Bigmouth etc. But other songs songs which are criminally under rated I know Its Over, Reel Around The Fountain and That Joke Isnt Funny Anymore. Morrissey songs which are under rated in my opinion Mute Witness,111c Now My Heart Is Full and Lost.
Well perhaps the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove. -

There's a few songs that are extremely underrated! And it's usually the songs that go at a slower pace. But Moz's lyrics save these songs from being totally ignored.

- Hand That Rocks The Cradle
- Suffer Little Children
- Late Night, Maudlin Street
