Such a notion denies them their place in the rock pantheon, not only as an inspiration to countless indie-rock outfits but also as the band that challenged the received wisdom of rock \u0026amp; roll machismo. Fronted by the fey, sexually ambiguous Steven Patrick Morrissey, who married painfully honest lyrics--almost embarrassing in their self-effacement--with arch humor and a melancholic delivery, the British band was quite an anomaly to an America still emerging from the bloated-rock tyranny of the likes of Journey and REO Speedwagon. Hatful of Hollow, released as an import in 1984 and domestically in 1993, is a collection of singles, many recorded live for various radio shows. More-muscular versions of most of the tracks here can be found on the collection Louder Than Bombs, but Hatful has a vitality to it that the studio-bound, somewhat antiseptic Bombs lacks. Check out Johnny Marr's delicate acoustic guitar on the aching \"Back to the Old House\" or the band's looser workouts of such now-classics as \"This Charming Man\" and \"Still Ill.\" Two songs not found on other albums make this a must for fans: \"Handsome Devil\" and \"Accept Yourself,\" a bouncy, jangly number on which Morrissey croons convincingly, \"Others conquered love, but I ran \/ I sat in my room and I drew up a plan.\" Perfect music for your awkward inner child. --Steve Landau\n\nProduct Description\n\nThe Smiths\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 009362452052\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0093624520528\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44651509252355,"sku":"HM-3YTR-67FZ","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/71EC1o9WspL.jpg?v=1706475472","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/hatful-of-hollow","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
