The Smiths

The tenth greatest band of all time after Radiohead, Modest Mouse, Björk, The Flaming Lips, Pink Floyd, Beck, The Pixes, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Sonic Youth. A very influential band for pop-rock bands.
The Smiths were a great band, and Morrissey has a great solo career too. Not as great, but still good.
