7 comments so far (post your own)Rock the Vote! Did they ever win the love of a girl like you? If you say or do anything for a girl, the girl will just spit in your face. Don't act desperate and just ignore her. Someday she will wonder what you are doing and contact you! Unless of course you screw it up and she never calls. If you have to wait for over two years, it's gone. What a sham. A downright low and dirty sham. No peace in appreciate. Posted by John Jacob on Saturday, 11/22/2014 @ 22:25pm |
The Smithereens better be inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame because they deserve it just as much if not more than the next guys.I've seen some crappy was bands get inducted!! Actually it's not that great an honor anymore especially if The Smithereens don't get inducted!! My friends and I, in the 80`s loved hearing their music playing as our party soundtrack!! Man, I know they're worthy and whoever doesn't think so has no ear for music.These guys are very great.Just wait n see you unbelievers!!Haha!!Love u Smithereens.You got a whole gangbusters of real music lovers/fans that are backing you guys up for sure!!!!

The Smithereens changed how I approached writing songs. During the early 80s, I was disgusted writing silly pop girl songs, so when I first heard Blood & Roses it was an epiphany that it was not only okay to have dark thoughts on a sunny day, it was also cool. The broke down the Lyrical barrier. Posted by John on Sunday, 10/22/2017 @ 09:23am |

The Smithereens made some good music. Posted by Mark Tesla on Wednesday, 12/13/2017 @ 15:04pm |
The recent passing of Pat has only sharpened my conviction that THE SMITHEREENS were one of the great band so the 1980's, 1990's and beyond. I find my self re-listening to their LPs and reaffirming for myself the wonderful playing, song-crafting, lyrical genius and vocal delivery of the band members. I cherish the songs; a reference to a long forgotten female bass-player, a nod to The Who, a thumb to the Seattle Grunch Scene. I'll miss the Smithereens, but if they found their way into any Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, it wouldn't be without deserving it, in my opinion. Posted by Diamond on Wednesday, 02/28/2018 @ 15:52pm |
I prefer The Smithereens to The Smiths. Neither band has been inducted. Posted by Smoke on Tuesday, 08/2/2022 @ 07:47am |
