The Smiths

I can't get them out of my head. I've never felt like this about a band before. Not that they're better or I like them more than other bands, but they're resonating with me in ways that are really kind of creepy. I'm not usually one to pay super attention to lyrics but Morrissey gets to me - he's able to capture in a few simple lines some of the most important, daunting ideas of what it is to live and love...

Absolutely agree with you, Shawn. It's Erica's fault I can hum most of the lyrics to any given Smiths song. Think it has to do with the fact they're so amusingly (tho not cloyingly) bubblegum.
