Description
The debut album of “The Smiths” led by Morrissy and Johnny Marr immediately stormed to No. 2 on the album charts in England. The album is considered a forerunner of indie rock and had a great influence on the Britpop of the 90s. “The Smiths make ear-pleasing, catchy pop-rock that entices the listener to pay attention to Morrissey’s wistful lyrics, which are the most intentionally self-pitying, sometimes caustic and mostly funny. “Reel Around the Fountain” is a classic, and the album also includes the UK singles “Hand in Glove” and “What Difference Does It Make?”
