	Amazon.com: The Best of the Smiths, Vol. 1: Music: The Smiths (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		They are not a good introduction to the music of the Smiths or a good overview of their career; the 'Best Of' albums leave out many of their seminal songs and contain bizarre choices.
		The CD entitled "Singles", which simply has all 18 of the Smiths' singles, is far better than the 'Best Of' CDs as far as showing what the Smiths were all about, or giving you much of their best material in one source.
		The Smiths were that band that all the cool...boys listened to in the 80s.

	The Smiths
		Morrissey's lyrics, while superficially depressing, were often full of mordant humour (The Smiths were "one of the few bands capable of making me laugh out loud," said Peel) and his lovelorn tales of alienation found an audience amongst a disaffected section of youth culture, bored by the ubiquitous synthesizer bands that then dominated the charts.
		By February 1984, The Smiths fanbase was sufficiently large to launch the band's long-awaited self-titled debut album to number two in the UK chart.
		The single "Shoplifters of the World Unite" (one of Morrissey's favourite Smiths songs) was released early in the year to chart success--as well as mild controversy and concern from parents over whether the song encouraged children to thieve.

	The Smiths (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Smiths is the eponymous debut album of the band The Smiths, released on February 20, 1984.
		The album was well received by the critics as well as the public, and it established the Smiths as a prominent band in the 1980s music scene in the United Kingdom.
		Unsatisfied with his work as a producer, the Smiths re-recorded their debut with producer John Porter, and it was these recordings that formed the finished album.

	Splendid: Departments: The Essential Albums
		In May, 1983, a new band from Manchester called The Smiths released a single for the song "Hand in Glove", its sleeve adorned with the image of a man's naked backside.
		The recurring meeting between teen vulnerability and the amber resin-trapped perfection of the entire Smiths legacy means there'll always be new fans to suck off the band's personality and claim it as part of their own.
		Elsewhere, Morrissey is at his cleverest, mocking the very concept of relationships in "Girlfriend in a Coma".

		Singles was ok. Best Of 1 was just a montage of Singles and the original albums, Best of 2 was taking the proverbial piddle and the Very Best of just made me plain angry.
		All of the Smiths signature tracks are on the very best of but some of the best, more poignant songs are left out.

	LEFT OFF THE DIAL - The Smiths
		Forming in 1982 in Manchester, England, The Smiths were to become one of the most influential British bands of the 80s.
		The Smith’s music marked the beginning of the British indie-rock scene.
		By early 1987 Marr was growing increasingly disenchanted with the band and he later recalled, "I realised that the records I was listening to with my friends were more exciting than the records I was listening to with the group.

		The Smiths are, or were, Mike Joyce, Johnny Marr, Steven Morrissey and Andy Rourke.
		In an intense 5 years Between 1983 and 1987 The Smiths released almost 20 singles and 7 albums, and are recognised by the critics as one of the most significant bands of the 1980's.
		It is difficult to believe that Morrissey has been a solo artist longer than 2 lifetimes of The Smiths, but his impact on the music industry declined significantly after 1987.

		This is a great collection of songs by The Smiths - but the remastering has ruined the best aspects of the original recordings.
		Perhaps the "Very Best Of.." producers were only interested in forming a unified sound to this whole album, but they've shown no regard for the integrity of the original recordings - and as good as the Smiths were, to me it was their original producers who made their music sound so appealing.
		"The Very Best of the Smiths" is a 23 song CD of some of the Smiths biggest hits, plus a couple of fan favorites.

		This polarization of opinion could be due to the effect that the dandy-esque front man Morrissey has on a person.

		The sarcasm may be even more biting now that the Smiths are entering into rock history.
		Former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr has condemned his former record label for releasing a best-of album, Very Best of The Smiths, without either his or singer Morrissey's consent.
		The 23-track UK-only compilation remasters many of The Smiths' most popular songs, though Marr contends neither its packaging nor its promotion is up to snuff with Smiths standards.

	Every Original CD Reviewed: The Smiths/Morrissey on Blender.com
		Emerging from Manchester, England, at the helm of the Smiths, he brought sharp-tongued camp and morose self-pity to ’80s indie rock, influencing a rash of bleating emo-rockers — and Radiohead — while guitar sidekick Johnny Marr fused Brit-Invasion pop, rockabilly and glam in unlikely ways.
		After the Smiths split in 1987, Morrissey found solo success despite his controversial soap-boxing (“I don’t think fl people and white people will ever get on”), avarice (former drummer Mike Joyce took him to court for back-pay) and weakness for sub-par collaborators.
		Post-Smiths, Johnny Marr played guitar with The The and Bryan Ferry, but this remains his best non-Smiths work — a clean, futuristic dance-pop ideal forged with New Order’s Bernard Sumner.
