Great question Mike. I clearly remember that when I heard the first Smiths album, I absolutely hated it. I even referred to Morrissey as "Lettuce Head" due to both his strident vegetarianism and simply because I thought he was an insipid whiner. It took a while, but with a few more albums and Johnny Marr's melodies, I really began to appreciate the band. And I now really enjoy both the sharp attack and the droll humor in Morrissey's lyrics.
