I don't get The Smiths.

[Dylstew]

I just listened to the first Smiths album...and I didn't like it all that much. I thought I would, considering what I've heard about them from people with similar music tastes. The sound reminds me a lot of post-punk, and I'm not the biggest fan of post-punk. Most songs usually have this (probably unintentional) sad ish vibe going on in a lot of post-punk, which I'm not a fan of. The album just kind of bored me. I'm keeping it in my library because I don't think it's bad music or anything and I might revisit it later, but what's so appealing about The Smiths? I know it's the favourite band of a certain regular here, so I'd love to hear his opinion :P.
