This Charming Man - The Smiths

[link] Other than the screaming falsetto stuff, Morrissey is a vocal model/muse of mine.  This is one of the songs that sealed it for me.  The album The Smiths came out in 1984.  I discovered it in 1987 after I taped it from my bandmate Tom's LP collection.  Marr's classic jangly playing in this song really sets an atmosphere, especially with the changes and in combination with the bass line.
