wow...gotta love the smiths...great band..that should have been bigger than they were...funny, you posted that video..as I was listening to a singles collection of the band, in my 4 runner...on sire....speaking of other cool bands / videos....got any XTC ? my fave song by them ? ' this is pop '
My favourite Smiths song is
How Soon Is Now? Johnny Marr is incredible. Still going strong.
I don't know much XTC though my best friend was a big fan. I liked The Meeting Place when it was on the week before that Laughing Prisoner thing on The Tube (channel 4's "edgy" mostly live music show of the late 1980s).
like I said, I'm a huge Smiths fan..been listening to them, for what seems to be eons..and I concur about Marr..Morrisey great vocalist....two other UK groups I dug was the Starnglers, and 999.....some great material there..with the occasional video of the era...also..dug a U.S. group, Pere Ubu..another band I sorta dug..musically, ok..nothing truly great, and they weren't bad live..was Duran-Duran...what interest me, was their grasp of videos..they were huge on M-Tv, probably the first video superstars...and they are still going on....ALSO 3 other groups, I listened to as well..Split Enz, crowded House, and a band called the Swingers.....they had one U.S. release on MCA ....
