morrissey is ssuch A good songwriter.
The Smiths baby!
Best 80s band By far
skelter54Escuchar un album entero de los Smiths es aburrido. Alguna buena canción y el resto, monótono. Banda sobrevalorada.
So full of personality, and so full of greatness. Easily the most unique eighties group ever, and the pioneers of indie music. Their influence is unmistakable, and their iconography is well-earned.
This band is a lot of fun to listen to. I didn't know such an upbeat tempo mixed with largely depressing lyrics could sound so good.
Secondsoul 12/14/2012 13:32I grew up with this band's music in the 80's. So influential and so great!
in my top 5 bands of all time ! Love them..
andy_hunter 07/23/2012 01:46Morrissey & Marr - a match made in heaven. Probably the best band to hail from Manchester and that is quite some achievement looking at their competition.
junodog4Sorry Armoury - The Smiths are not the greatest band of all time. They are a great band from the 80s. They are the best of the jangly alternative pop-bands from the UK. They had a gift for pretty melodies and conveying emotion. However, they seemed stall in their sound, never branching far from their admittedly beautiful prototype of sound and melancholy. It's funny - in many circles, I'd say they're overrated. However, on BEA, they get overlooked a bit as everyone falls all over Joy Division.
