How soon is now
Actually, both versions are good. But the cover version is hated or beloved because of the TV-Witch-Series Charmed.
As Smith-Fan I have to vote of course for the original version!

Comments about How soon is now:
I prefer the version of love Spit Love, why?, you ask!, well it's because the lead singer, and the rest of the band were some what reluctant to record or re-record such a down to earth song, that reefers to Humans that suffer from society's unjust causes. With that said, my personal opinion is that the lead singer, sung it with passion and the drummer (percussionist), makes this song get into you (one) and it makes one wonder.... Morreset version is almost the same, but my vote is for Love Spit Love.. God bless..

If LSL had enough creative talent between them to write just 10 seconds of Jonny Marr's guitar-work from this song, we might actually have a contest here, but that's a pretty big IF.

No explanation. Smiths. Hands down.

The song is great. The Smiths made the original and it will always be the original, this gives it something special. The version from Love Spit Love is also very good, but it's a cover. Although i really like the Smiths and the original i have to vote for Love Spit Love, they did a really good job covering a song not just for a decade but timeless like the original and they gave the song a little bit more power and passion.

I grew up with the Smiths. Love them. I also love the LSL version of the song though I've never seen the TV show. Richard Butler injects a little bit more anger into it and I love it for that. It's a bit more urgent though not nearly as polished.

The Love Spit Love version of the song has been made more popular (or hated) as a result of the TV Series Charmed. Personally I like that version for this reason - although both are good in their own ways. Smiths fans I'm sure say they don't like it just because they hate the fact it was a cover! You Know You Like It Really!!

LSL's version is appalling; it is the very definition of 'derivative' and adds nothing good to what is an incredible original.
Quicksand (alternative metal band from the 90's featuring the talented Walter Schreifels) did a nice version of it. Their version rocks, and doesn't try to copy Morrissey's vocal style.

Puh-leeze. Nobody can do this better than Morrissey and Marr. They were geniuses. Love Spit Love? I mean, I loved the P.Furs when I was a wee thing, but...
And TATU? Who?
