Despite the significant Rickenbacker content, I have always found the Smiths unbearable to listen to. Dingy, dismal dirges without any kind of redeeming merit, sung badly.
It was quite fascinating for me a few years ago to discover Daniel Earwicker's one-man instrumental Smiths covers/"interpretations" on YouTube - they were great! Not exactly earth-shattering in inventiveness but played tunefully and without that awful unbearable groaning superimposed.
Morrisey and the Smiths were and are about as musically significant as a particularly smelly blocked drain. David Cameron's fondness for them is just further proof of his lack of suitability for the position of responsibility he occupies...
