You could say they're both comparable in the sense they were the biggest pop group and one of the biggest pop groups of their respective eras but we're talking the 60s and 80s which were very different times.

Both were very cohesive and talented musicians that were capable of being complex/simple and both left their comfort zones quite a bit. Oh and Morrissey is an excellent lyricist and boo boo needs to stop judging his songwriting abilities on his personality and one song.

Most of you were wrong.

Hey, I never said the Smiths weren't incredible. Actually I said I loved them.
