In the beginning...
...There was Morrissey and Johnny Marr.
Along with Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce, they created music that I've carried with me for twenty years. This song is my favourite. The swirling, howling guitars; the angsty, Romantic with a capital R vocals; the driving, angry bass - all held together by Joyce's taut drumming and enhanced by the echo chamber whistling. It was my anthem as a geeky, gawky bookish teen: "Please shut your mouth, how can you say I go about things the wrong way?". I still love it today.
