Get your facts straight!

The Smiths were like the highest charting band in the U.K. in the 80's. To act as if they were some underground band that didn't get notoriety until the internet age is incredibly obnoxious.
they were still a Rough Trade band wtf are you on about

also not that it matters because you're wrong as shit anyway,

but Sire had a brief moment under Warner directly after the acquisition where it was still operating as a punk label and released records from Ramones, Talking Heads, Dead Boys, etc. most of these acts had signed to it prior to the acquisition
