THE SMITHS
The Smiths foi uma banda britânica de rock, fundada em Manchester em 1982. Tendo como principal característica a parceria nas composições de Morrissey (vocal) e Johnny Marr (guitarras), a banda também incluía Andy Rourke no baixo e Mike Joyce como baterista. Os críticos consideram a banda como sendo a mais importante banda de rock alternativo a surgir nos anos 80. A banda lançou quatro álbuns, várias coletâneas e diversos singles. Embora alcançando pouco sucesso comercial fora do Reino Unido durante os seus anos de atividade, a banda conquistou grande sucesso nos anos decorrentes, mantendo-se nas prateleiras das lojas até os dias de hoje. A banda encerrou suas atividades em 1987, nunca vindo a se reunir novamente. A NME incluiu os Smiths dentro da lista dos “Artistas Mais Influentes de Sempre” em uma votação de 2002. Fonte: Wikipedia
