As long as I'll live I may never come across a band as colossally overrated and insanely frustrating to listen to as the Smiths. I can't pretend I've ever been a fan of jangle pop but when you hear "the best" of it and you're able to recognize how much you hate it, it's fairly safe to say you aren't going to be turned on by the rest of their music. And no matter how many times I listen to Morrissey's indistinct whine I can't get into this band.
A definite "no" from me.
