Listening statistics & highlights
The Smiths and Morrissey were a pretty big band in the 80's. Morrissey was interviewed often on MTV and my guess it was due to the fact that he was British and was very arrogant. The Queen is Dead is typical of the Smiths and is not a lot of fun to listen to since it is so melancholy. If you weren't depressed before you started listening to it, you might be by the time it is over. I wonder if Johnny Marr would have had a different lead man if he would have been more famous and well known. Other bands from the period that are similar with a little more pep include The Church, Echo and the Bunnymen, Love and Rockets, and Lords of the New Church.
