The Smiths, the greatest rock band of the '80s who released almost 20 singles and 7 albums; and their lead singer Morrissey, who's career as a solo artist has lasted longer than 2 lifetimes of The Smiths, but whose impact on the music industry declined after 1987. Have had an enormous impact on me but yet is something I see very rarely in other people.
Morrissey (aka Mozz/Mozza) is the only artist from another genre whose lyrics subject come close to those touched on by Tupac. Morrissey's lyrics often delve into the depths of misery, detachment, and loneliness. Declaring 'please don't to take me home' because he hasn't got one to go to. His Wit is as sharp as a razor and he has culminated the embodiment of his own fanatical cult, in way of those that follow him.
Apart from being rumored to be Gay and having a deep affinity for the works of Oscar Wilde, Morrissey stands alone, and is a pioneer in his own right. His career surviving repeated aversion from the media, a media that has attack the brashness side of his lyrics, which deal with issues as real as they are somewhat taboo.
The music he produced is far from a sterotypical view of a young Mozz, who lived most of his early years as a loner, chosing to spend most of his time reading books rather than running the streets. His Gemini nature shows through, proving that he can easily tip both ends of the scale. Sending flowers to the funeral of Reggie Kray and singing about him on his solo album Suedehead.
While The Smiths/Morrissey's music appeals somewhat to the faint-hearted, outcast and depressed civilisation; this is contradicted by a unique and fascinating sense of defined love, peace, unity and inner strength - especially in the song 'How Soon Is Now'.
I may be reaching to a lot of people younger than me, I hear people saying 'Who are The Smiths?' already. In fact I never took much notice of them until I was introduced, just like everybody does with music they have never heard of before. And for those who already listen - where are you? I aint never heard anyone mention them on here before.
