There's an article in the latest Record Collector that talks about songs that influenced Smiths songs. It's a neat article.

well, it's like this.

moz: "these are the songs that influenced me to be, for the most part, a melodramatic, whiny bitch."
marr: "these are the songs that influenced me to be a fucking amazing guitarist."

which would you rather listen to?

Yes but that melodramatic, whiny bitch was the reason for their success.

Morrissey > Marr

Morrissey is better off now without him...and Marr now? Laughable.
