what do you mean by proper?
would you count Shoplifters...?
I always think of Shoplifters' as more of a repeated refrain
rather than a proper solo. But I suppose people's definitions differ.
I may well have misused the word 'refrain'
but you get what I mean.
yeah, that and Shoplifters are the only real solos
and are possibly the least inspired pieces of guitar playing in their entire back catalogue
i think the shoplifters adds well to that song, but concede it might not be a solo
agree with you about paint a vulgar picture
The sad thing about Paint a Vulgar Picture
is that the lyrics which the guitar solo replaced were really great.
Link please?
Would love to know what these were

Morrissey's head contains The Smiths' only proper haircut.
i immediatly thought shoplifters

Sweet and tender hooligan
At 3 minutes in.
May I venture
Barbarism Begins at Home? The song seems to have been written purely for Marr & Rourke to wank themselves to death. There's a live bootleg (Paris in about 1985 I think) on which Morrissey says "Johnny wants to play Barbarism Begins at Home again" without even trying to hide the withering disdain in his voice.
