I love The Smiths, they're my favorite band. I can see how the dancing and a bit of the Morrissey look can come out as ridiculous, but i think that's part of his charm and i actually think it's pretty cool. As far as the songs go i love every single one, from this charming man to how soon is now, pretty girls make graves, sheila take a bow, frankly mr. shankly, william it was really nothing, panic, there's a light that never goes out, etc, to say a few. The lyrics, in my particular opinion are amazing, and yeah, a bit depressing. I think The Smiths had a great impact in the 80's music in the U.K. and for me are one of the most influential bands for brit rock and "indie". Besides i feel quite identified with some of Morrissey's ideals. Great band.
