The Smiths were the definitive British indie rock band of the '80s, marking the end of synth-driven new wave and the beginning of the guitar rock that dominated English rock into the '90s. Sonically, the group were indebted to the British Invasion, crafting ringing, melodic three-minute pop singles, even for their album tracks. But their scope was far broader than that of a revivalist band.
The Smiths are, or were, Mike Joyce, Johnny Marr, Stephen Morrissey and Andy Rourke.
In an intense 5 years Between 1983 and 1987 The Smiths released almost 20 singles and
7 albums, and are recognised by the critics as one of the most significant bands of
the 1980's. It is difficult to believe that Morrissey has been a solo artist longer
than 2 lifetimes of The Smiths, but his impact on the music industry declined significantly
after 1987.Here is a good History of the Smiths.
