The Smiths remain one of the most prominent bands in British music history. Johnny Marr is still considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time and Morrissey is considered one of the greatest lyricists of all time.
Rarely does a band exist for such a little amount of time yet have such a huge influence. I know that “indie rock” has become a terrible, catch-all label today to describe music, but if I had to pick one band that helped make “indie rock” a thing in the first place, it would be the Smiths. Odds are, your favorite band from the past 35 years was influenced by them- that’s how influential they were. More specifically, The Smiths helped British popular music return to its rock roots, even helping create an entire genre of music- Britpop. As a matter of fact, I’d argue alternative rock wouldn’t have been nearly as big in the 1990s if it weren’t for the band.
The Smiths may have only been together a few short years, but their impact on music and culture still resonates today.
