I never got the depressing tag they always get stuck with. I just find their music calls it as it is, and quite poetically I might add. You also mentioned their humor, which I just love. There are certain bands where I can totally understand why someone would think it was downer music (Joy Division, for example...I love em but yep they are depressing), but the Smiths are just plain musical satisfaction.
Great review thread, I'll be keeping up with this one.
