I know, but it's a decent benchmark. What it does indicate is that the smiths werent commercial and didn't appeal to the masses. Indicating alot of the record buying public did not share the same opinion as Sol Throstle as to his talent and greatness. Westlife being the greatest band of all time, obviously. Feckin eedjit.

I've got a little bit hooked on these Olympics...it os so easy to be sucked into the tide of jingoism. He does have a point, though. Good for him for having the balls to voice his opinion. Is this like the opinion where he stated: "you can't help but feel the Chinese are a sub-species." Bravo Mozzer. Well in son. FFS.

You can measure The Smiths impact by the bands that have name dropped them as influences since the 80s. Blur, Oasis, The Libertines, Radiohead, The Stone Roses all cited The Smiths as influences.
Anyway, I just heard Nicky Campbell at the Olympic Park on 5Live say that "Britain has turned into Germay"*, so nerrrr.
* after a Olympic Park visitor commented how everything was working so efficiently.

Didn't he once refuse to play a gig until all of the meat from a burger van was removed from his vision?
Obviously that resulted in him being pelted with burgers.

Not same thing at all. No claiming of racial supremacy. No planned invasion that we know about. No man with small moustache doing deodorant advert salute. No silly walks, apart from that one the silly walk competition.

Morrisey is one of the greatest post-war talents that our country has produced. That's like saying mattock is a world class left back. How many Smiths singles made the top 10? NONE. Not so great and talented then??? Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, Sheila Take a Bow and This Charming Man all did The fact people are still talking about them and this generation listens to them tells you more about their quality than their chart position in the 80s/90s We've all agreed on numerous occasions that the charts are 99% a bag of bollocks anyway

Why didn't you just keep the last line and ditch the rest: "Morrissey… please , please, please … stop being such a twat!"

The fact people are still talking about them and this generation listens to them tells you more about their quality than their chart position in the 80s/90s Can you define who "this" generation is that's listening to the Smiths? Presumably we're talking kids born in the 70's early 80's; who are the same conservative generation of sixth form poets and wet blankets. I don't buy that there is a new generation of Smiths fans at all.
