Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths

Growing up in the eighties everyone had heard of the Smith's. Of course in small town Maine they were not the most popular band or anything close but still their music was all over the college radio and one could not see one of the teen angst drama's without hearing them.

Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want is on several movie soundtracks of the eighties and a fresh listen today tells why. The song is applicable to every teenager who ever lived. They all dream, they all want, and they all want those to come together. They rarely do and thus the lifetime membership in the angst club for this song.

If they put down the rap record kids today would easily embrace this song. It will never cease to be relevant.
