True or false: It's good that the Smiths imploded when they did; otherwise, they would have turned into another former college-rock dinosaur, like U2, REM, the Cure, Depeche Mode, et. al.

Never liked the Smiths, other than How Soon is Now...so for me they didn't implode soon enough.

Ask me, ask me, ask me!

Johnny Marr was a wicked guitarist who often came up with killer licks. Too bad Mozz had to ruin every last one of them with his inane lyrics and tone-deaf caterwauling.
