The real issue with threads like this isn't it? No terms of reference - in this instance what is meant by 'greatest'. Without it the ... Quote:
JJ's definition is one option and Radiohead would spring to mind as a current incarnation although they would probably be usurped by the Beatles (amongst others) by the 'of all time' option. The latter might also win if we defined 'greatest' in terms of money earned as long as this was inflation linked, or indeed if the judgement was to be based on influence on popular music. As for The Smiths they would do well if greatest were defined in terms of reflecting the mood of a particular generation as would Nirvana on the other side of the pond or The Sex Pistols / The Clash / The Jam / The Buzzcocks / Magazine / Siouxsie & The Banshees / etc a while before or The Beatles / Rolling Stones / Byrds / Jefferson Airplane / Frank Zappa & The Mothers... etc. a decade or so before that.

The Smiths were(and remain) a hugely influential band. A recent NME special featured every current Indie act worth their salt eulogising about how The Smiths were the reason they were making music today. Morrissey (like him or loathe him) is a genius of the first order and is still a god-like figure for hundreds of thousands...especially in er....Mexico.

There is no such thing as a best band ever but in a top 10 Steely Dan would be close to the top.

Who. Stones. Kinks. Beatles. The back four upon which the Smiths, Madness, Queen and the La's could flourish in midfield, with Pink Floyd and Ian Dury and the Blockheads up front. Led Zep in goal.

The Rolling Stones are, and will continue to be, the definers of all things musical.

. If you never understood George Orwell’s description of sport as ‘War minus the shooting’, go and watch Palace v Brighton – if you can get a ticket. It is gloriously ferocious. When it kicks off at 7.45pm, the rest of the Country will discover that this really is The Game! This isn’t just a sporting competition; the rivalry is now woven into the mythological fabric of both clubs. It’s an article of faith. It’s what defines us. I hate therefore I am. |
