I wouldn't trust anything you read in the NME. They once hailed a band called Brother as the saviours of guitar music, then dropped them like a bad smell when nobody agreed.
Both bands have their merits and I like them both, but Marr's guitar work is something else. Especially that riff on This Charming Man, I picked up a guitar just to learn that one day.

The Smiths are nothing more than 2nd hand Orange Juice riffs with clever lyrics.
And there are plenty of clever lyricists in the world, I don't know why Morrissey's so revered for it. He's no Nick Cave that's for sure. I would say the Cure are by far the better band.

I mostly listen to music for the lyrics, so that's probably why I prefer the Smiths. Also I don't really like Robert Smith's voice, and I love love love love love x 9834939839983498349834 Morrissey's voice. |

That's interesting. It took me almost two decades to get into the Smiths because I hated Morrissey's voice. Now I don't mind it but I do wish he'd tone it down a little sometimes still.
