The Smiths hasn't been equaled. That goes for the composition of the songs, the lyrics, and the performance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Smiths are never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to reunite - ever.
The solo years have been more meaningful to the audiences than the Smiths years, but the press in England only write about me in relation to the Smiths era.
I like The Smiths - I would love to do a song with The Smiths, because they are so sonically different.
The Smiths was an incredibly personal thing to me. It was like launching your own diary to music.
A lot of songs are derivative of each other.
A lot of songs are derivative of each other. Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.
I find so many songwriters today are missing an element... either the production is amazing but the songs aren't, or it's the other way around.

My experience tells me, unfortunately, that so many people ask the question about 'The Smiths' reforming without really caring about the answer. They just really want to ask the question.
I've almost never played the 'Smiths' records, once they've gone out. I was always like that and probably always will be.
