The Smiths.

[JAMC]

Do you rate them?

Couldn't listen to their stuff more than once, I'm afraid. Tuneless dirges liable to induce terminal boredom, IMHO.

 

[Billy Childish]

One of the greatest bands in the history of the world EVER!!!

just behind Spacemen 3 and The Jesus and Mary chain.

 

[Gullet]

Yeah, I liked them a lot. Got to say though that I saw Morrisey on Johnathan Ross' show earlier and he is the most strangest, miserable person I've ever seen. He hates everybody and everything. Says that the only thing in life that he does now is listen to music all day. Not the sort of person you'd want to be stuck in a lift with!!
Smiths did make some good records though.

That's Mozza!
Love him or hate him!
The bloke is a star.
In the NME this week it states that the Mexican street gang culture kids have took a bit of a shine to him. I don't know exactly why.....
His L.A. shows were sold out. His Manchester gig at the M.E.N. Arena sold out in 90 mins.

Great band great songs great lyrics. songs like "asleep" will live forever as classics. Fantastic irony in his songs.

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

I rate them.

Morrisey has real talent, but on Jonathan Ross earlier he came across as a total tosspot & I will download his allbum now instead of buying it.

 

[alan partridge]

[n1 gull]

The best band ever.

 

[graz126]

amongst stone roses as my favorate band.

 

[Balti Pie Man]

My favourite bands;

1) Inspiral Carpets
2) The Smiths
3) Stone Roses

You can't beat Morrissey for his lyrics!! All classics!

 

[BUTTERBALL]

The Smiths were the forerunners to the modern indie scene. Classic records that have stood the test of time.

 

[jail bird]

what a great band to sit and be miserable with

got me through my teenage angst..

and now my 20's angst

 

[B.M.F]

absolute top band
Best thing to ever come out of Manchester

I actuallt prefer solo Morrissey (1992 and later, once he lost the self-pity and started to get a bit more angry) to the Smiths, though of course they are great.

I'm not interested in Morrissey the person. I'm sure he's no saint.
