  Not even a single sentence in this doc to mention Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce? Super sad.. that rhythm section is so crazy important to the sound and soul of the Smiths.. Andy Rourke’s bass lines and playing is the most underrated in rock history and I’ll die on that hill..

  I was a Mormon missionary in the late 80s.  We were prohibited from listening to music.  I bought a pirated copy of "The World won't Listen" in Buenos Aires anyway.  I was very depressed and lonely while a missionary and I would listen to the songs over and over while sitting on my roof in the slums surrounding Buenos Aires.  This music kept me sane.

  My mother got hooked on the Smith's. She does not speak or understand  English. She fell in love with the sound.

  Their music hasn&apos;t aged at all. <br>It&apos;s still as fresh as in the 1st day.

  I discovered the Smith&apos;s in 85 or 86 at a Black Flag concert &nbsp;at a punk/indie club in Chattanooga TN. &nbsp;Someone had spray painted &nbsp;I AM HUMAN AND I NEED TO BE LOVED JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE DOES - THE Smiths. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I went out the next day and bought Meat Is Murder thinking it was going to be a hard core punk band. &nbsp; &nbsp;At first I was perplexed but after about 20 seconds into the Headmaster Ritual I realized I had struck musical gold. &nbsp; &nbsp;They immediately became my favorite &nbsp;band!

  Best smiths doc ive seen. Short, thoughtful and concise. Good analyzation of the moods and sounds that made the Smiths unique.

  The chorus of &quot;There Is A Light That Never Goes Out&quot; is utterly glorious.

  Marr is a genius, ever tried to play a smiths song on guitar almost impossible for a casual guitarist his riffs are like mathematical equations, total legend.

  Hearing How Soon Is Now changed my whole life. &nbsp;This guy I had never heard of was singing about me and my life. It made me feel I wasn&apos;t alone. There were others out there like me. The Smiths, along with Depeche Mode, got me through the darkness of teenage years and young adulthood.
