So I have been called out twice by our co-host Dr. Justin. OK, I get it, he likes The Smiths (morrissey), but come on! How Soon Is Now the greatest song ever recorded/written? Really? I understand when you love a band/singer that you are fully into their music, I get that, but to make outlandish statements like that? Pure craziness! I love The Cure, but I don’t even have the guts to say that any of their songs are the greatest ever written/recorded? So I’ve complied a list (by category) to provide evidence that disproves Dr. Justin’s statement. To be fair, this is just off the top of my head, since Justin made his claim out of his rear-end. Therefore, I may have missed a song or two, so if I have, please comment and give us your thoughts!
Since this song was released in the 80’s, in the spirit of the Musication format, I’ll give you 5 songs that were released in that era, which are vastly superior:
Time After Time (Cyndi Lauper), Every Breath You Take (The Police), One (Metallica), Hands To Heaven (Breathe), Somebody (Depeche Mode)
So you may say nah that is a completly different genre, well since the band is from 80’s “New Wave”, here are a few songs/bands from that era that are still better:
The Promise (When In Rome), If You Leave (OMD), The Metro (Berlin), I Melt With You (Modern English), True Faith (New Order)
If you want to throw out genres, let’s look at some songs that defy genre and time (by the way, these are even crazier gooder). Please don’t tell me these songs are not at the level of a smiths song, please don’t do that to yourself:
Imagine (John Lennon), Stairway to Heaven (Led Zepplin), Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen), Everlong (Foo Fighters), Freebird (Lynard Skynard)
I can keep going, but I’ll stop! I understand that you love morrissey, but I never mentioned the Cure once! For all of you readers out there, please take a small amount of time to reply and name however many songs you want that are better than How Soon Is Now. Don’t get me wrong, I think it is a great song, but I still think Girlfriend In A Comma and Big Mouth Strikes Again are still better, but that is my opinion.
