I was a big fan and quite enjoyed the recent doco it's still on the i player. Why is it that Joyce and Rourke get no credit at all for being the bedrock of the band? They were not the lyricist or lead guitarist but with out them would they of been so good?

Smiths.... Worse than the damned them.

I prefer the levellers. They were good in Cardiff last night too!

I guess morrissey and marr.were.the creative force behind the band. Agree joyce and rourke should.have.got.more than 10% each but i reckon the 25% they thought they were due would have been not right.

Big fan too but thought the documentary was a bit of a light and fluffy fanzine.
Like reading about The Smiths in Smash Hits.

It was a Culture Show special, according to the wife. She's recorded it for me.
