Third and final part of a special/tribute dedicated to Mark E. Smith – read tributes by Nick Panagakos and Scott Creney. You can also head over to The Fall Online’s repository of links dedicated to MES.
 
We asked our readers/followers on Twitter to come up with their favorite Fall track – not an easy feat, by any means, given how huge and consistent the band’s discography is. Some went as far as picking multiple tracks at once – can’t say we blame them.

What’s your favorite Fall song?

Lets make a mix #ripmarkesmith#thefall
