The revival of this thread got me listening to them again yesterday.

Musically, they really are stunning. And frankly - Morrissey the person aside - Morrissey the singer is perfectly suited to the band in the sense that I love the juxtaposition of his Anglican-choir-style sound with the soaring guitar of Johnny Marr.

Daft question really, but never mind. Probably have a different three next week.

I couldn't give a shit what Morrissey does, says or thinks these days.

For those brief years, in my eyes the Smiths were the embodiment of beauty and their legacy for me is completely untouchable.

I can only thank my lucky stars there was never a prospect of any kind of reunion. The ultimate Leave-Things-Be.

Johnny Marr is a wonderful human being but his recent playing of Smiths songs (much the same as Morrissey's) means no more than somebody playing a Smiths cover at an open mic.

I genuinely could not care less about anyone else's opinion of the Smiths. Just doesn't matter to me, they were mine.
