The Smiths were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1982. The group consisted of vocalist Morrissey, guitarist Johnny Marr, bassist Andy Rourke, and drummer Mike Joyce. Critics have called them one of the most important bands to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s. In 2002, the NME named the Smiths "the artist to have had the most influence on the NME". In 2003, all four of their albums appeared on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". The band broke up in 1987 due to internal tensions and have turned down several offers to reunite.

Why is Hatful Of Hollow (1984) not listed ? -- is it under some variation? That's my favorite album by them

If there is a single song on any Smiths' album that makes you OSCILLATE WILDLY, Listen to it 20 times in a row!
Soon after that experience, just COME to CLIMAX or NEVER listen to a Smiths' song again..... PLEASE!

Arguably one of the most over-hyped, over-rated bands of all time alongside bands such as Oasis and Guns 'N' Roses, it does make me laugh reading some of the comments on these websites haha, im certainly not suggesting the smiths were shit they have written some very good songs and are still better than alot of the tripe which graces the charts these days, but i do have a beef with some of the following....best band of all time?...ok subjective, but have these people not heard of led Zeppelin, The Clash, they were miles better than these guys. Most influential band of all time....really? Beatles, Pink Floyd ring any bells, people mention how the Smiths influenced bands like radiohead, U2 etc, yes they did but a bigger influence came in the form of a little known Salford group called Joy Division, bands such as Oasis, Blur etc were more influenced by rock icons such as Paul Weller than they were Morrissey. Morrissey did influence guys like Jarvis Cocker but Oasis, Blur, Charlatans etc seem more akin to Ian Brown than Morrissey? Morrissey a lyrical genius...oh please, have a word most of his lyrics don't even make sense, especially in his solo material, you want lyrical geniuses then look no further than john lennon, ian curtis, bob dylan even guys like Joe Strummer and weller, their lyrics are much better constructed. Finally Johnny Marr an amazing guitarist...taking the piss right? better than hendrix, jimmy page and john squire i think not, he's on a par with someone like Bernard Sumner.
An average band at best, if you want good music led zeppelin, the clash, the stranglers, stone roses (who people could argue were influenced by the Smiths which ill accept), joy division, the jam, motorhead are the bands to head for
I'll probably get slated for the above but some people need correcting ;)

The Smiths are one of the greatest English bands ever, but their albums have not yet been remastered!

The greatest Indie/Rock band of all time in my opinion. A lyrical genius that spoke for a generation and in some ways still does & the greatest guitarist of his generation equals a match made in heaven. Four masterpiece studio albums. Countless classic singles and b sides. Three fantastic compilations of b sides and live versions. YOU NEED THEM ALL. They never sold out and they never compromised. They never went on and on past their sell by date, like so many other rockers. They have completely stood the test of time, for evidence just look at how many kids still get into The Smiths and buy their albums. Music to make you laugh, music to make you cry, music to make you feel wanted, music to make you feel part of something, music to rejoice to, music that speaks to you... Unique in every sense of the word, they have influenced countless bands, including Radiohead, Pulp, Oasis, Blur, Verve etc etc. The Smiths deserve the ultimate RESPECT - LEGENDS.

I think Johnny Marr knew exactly what he was after when choosing to collaborate with Morrissey in 1982. These songs would be absolute relics; the most cutting edge folk songs ever to have been composed. With such an inspiring word-smith, and a perfectly suited rhythm section of Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke, Marr dug effortlessy deep; producing tastefully-sparkling gems via outstanding guitar arrangements that mirrored Morrissey's unique slant on events and emotions.
