The backbone of The Smiths was the pairing of lead vocalist Morrissey whose haunting voice and eccentric lyrics combined with guitarist Johnny Marr’s complex melodies created a sound that took its listeners on an emotional journey. Likely, this is why their fans were among the most loyal and passionate of the era. Historically speaking, The Smiths are credited with bridging synthesizer infused New Wave to the guitar driven music that was the staple of the British scene in the 90’s. Though their run only spanned six years, their legacy will run infinitely longer. They have a solid shot an enshrinement considering that they were significanly less successful in the United States than they were in the U.K., but it is a crime that they are still waiting; not that they care.
