A Quote by Steven Morrissey

I have so much pride and love for the songs of The Smiths. However, I must ask you, if you come across any Smiths CDs, don't buy them, because all the money goes to that wretched drummer.

I like The Smiths - I would love to do a song with The Smiths, because they are so sonically different.

Angel Haze

I know there's bands that might write something that sounds like The Smiths, and they'll go, 'Oh, it sounds like The Smiths, we've got to make it sound not like The Smiths.'

Noel Gallagher

We heard about the Smiths later, through friends. What attracted us was how they could get across the meaning of the lyric through the tone of the vocal. A lot of bands just try to be catchy. The Smiths wanted to be more.

Spencer Smith

The Smiths hasn't been equaled. That goes for the composition of the songs, the lyrics, and the performance.

Jeff Buckley

I like The Smiths as well. They took a cue from The Buzzcocks. They have jangly guitars instead of distorted guitars. All the Manchester bands have a character about them. The Stone Roses and The Smiths and all that. Even if you don't like them, they have a certain original sound.

Steve Diggle

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.

Morrissey

F irst and foremost I am a drummer. After that, I'm other things... But I didn't play drums to make money. I played drums because I loved them... My soul is that of a drummer... It came to where I had to make a decision - I was going to be a drummer. Everything else goes now. I play drums. It was a conscious moment in my life when I said the rest of things were getting in the way. I didn't do it to be come rich and famous, I did it because it was the love of my life.

Ringo Starr

You don't want to be a one-trick pony. On a lot of Smiths songs, I used a pick or a plectrum, and for some of the slow songs, I used my thumbs and my fingers. That's why I love the bass - it's adaptable, and you can express yourself so well with it.

Andy Rourke

I kinda learned to sing singing to Echo and the Bunnymen songs and Smiths songs: Morrissey would be a big favorite.

James Mercer

Smiths songs certainly have an astonishing afterlife.

Morrissey

The Smiths did that well, putting words in pop songs you wouldn't hear anywhere else.

James Righton

I love The Smiths!

Hope Sandoval

Stephen Chbosky

When I'm DJing for two hours, I might play two or three Smiths songs.

Andy Rourke

I love bands like the Arctic Monkeys and The Smiths, and I'm working on my own music.

Peyton List

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.

Johnny Marr
