E46 - The Smiths - The Sound Of The Smiths

Most commentators would agree that mega-influential Manchester band The Smiths’ star shone bright and was extinguished far too soon. Indeed, the band’s debut album was released in February 1984 but they had played their final gig before the end of ‘86. In-fighting has plagued the group even since they have split whilst constant rumours of ‘getting the band back together’ persist. 

Simon and Ning take a whistle stop tour through all of The biggest Smiths tracks put together on disc 1 of their 2008 compilation and offer their views on where The Smiths sit in the music pantheon.
