i know this is a faggy ask but i've just never been able to find a band that scratches the same itch as them. the fagyearning, the catchiest guitar ive ever heard, it just speaks to me on a level i can't express.
i know this is normie shit but i just need more music like this because ive listened to them way too much, would appreciate less british shit ty for any recommendations
if you don't mind noise: The Wedding Present. less skilled at their instrument and the vocalist can't sing, but they have the jangle and the self-depreciating lyrics down to a t. if you don't mind going back in time, The Modern Lovers. very different musically, but Richman's lyrics are proto-Morrissey. if you don't mind wimpiness, Belle and Sebastian. more folky and introspective, but i like them.
Matthew Robinson
not jangle but
red house painters
Jaxon Richardson
british? the sundays first 2 albums. Same jangly great sound but this time it's a GIRL singing and also pretty britishy. Or you could listen to The La's. also british, idk I really like that style personally
don tfeel ashamed for liking the smiths, they are one of the best bands out there.
the fact that they are accessible or "normie" means that they are great while remaining easy to recommend.
good as band, and as other have said R.E.M is very similar in some regards, and if youre looking for other "faggy" music then bowie and the cure have that feel aswell
>the smiths >the cure >memewie They're probably all in my top 10. I knew my taste was a bit on the "sensitive" side but I didn't realize it was THAT gay what the fug.
Probably Belle and Sebastian would be up your ally idk
Jack Butler
Whoever here said Red House Painters is just Smiths slowed down made the most accurate take I've seen on the board
Henry Evans
Are you a Chicano?? Those dudes love this shit.
Juan Harris
sounds nothing like smiffs
Kevin Hill
>Probably Belle and Sebastian would be up your ally idk When the anesthesia wears off in your gender confirmation surgery and you wake up, this is what the surgeons are listening to.
Isaiah Myers
then listen to motown shit or whatever morrissey liked when he was young
