the smiths?

anyone a fan just out of interest as they have said to been one the biggest influences in music and i kinda agree . if so whats there best song would you say ?

 

An overrated alt. rock/indie pop band with an arrogant frontman; does not appeal to me.

 

haha not indie at all and how is morrisey arrogant im sorry but his fans are the most loyal fans going . and they made some brilliant music if you cared to listen to it .

 

The Smiths were indeed indie, as they were signed to an independent record label (Rough Trade) for most of their career. Also, I have listened to them quite a bit, and yes, some of their music was good, but, they are/were extremely overrated in my opinion.

PS: Morrisey is extremely arrogant, and if you think differently, you really do not know anything about the man.

 

Well we will have to agree to disagree .

 

omg why has no-one heard the smiths?

 

There is a light that never goes out - one of the most beautiful songs ever.

Such a good band, haven't had one so good for a long time. They were and still are, awesome.

 

agreed mate definately

 

They do seem to be overrated, but they certainly had some bright spots in their run. I've gone through most of their stuff and, for their time, they were pretty indie, but they aren't for me.

 

i dont see how they were overated though .

 

for example morrisey has a good voice and the song panic was based on the song metal guru by t-rex i dont suppose anyones heard of it

 

love the smiths and morrissey, my favorite smiths song is probably this charming man or a rush and a push... and my favorite morrissey song is suedehead hands down
