I generally am none too keen on Radiohead, but I heard this cover for the Headmaster Ritual and thought it was A+. Great job on the non-obvious cover.
This raises the long standing question of the ultimate Smiths song. Despite love for This Charming Man, I vote for Cemetry Gates.

Thom Yorke is on my side

Although it's not the most "Smiths" of Smiths songs, 'How Soon Is Now?' was the one that did it for me. I remember the moment I first heard it and it probably set me on the path of listening to the type of music I have for the rest of my life. No I am not overstating.
Hmmm, musically it is a bit of an outlier, although a good one. Lyrically I think it fits well. I too recall my experience, on MTV when I believe it was mislabeled "How Soon is Soon?"
My "How Soon is Soon" has to be Big Black's Steelworker.
Drum machine? Check.
Guitar like a sack full of
wolverines? Check.
Lyrics that you don't want your kids to catch you singing to yourself? Check, check.
Strangely, when I find myself going for the Moz impersonation, "There is a Light and It Never Goes Out" is my go to song. It is probably in my top ten, but in the lower half.
