The Smiths, formed in Manchester in 1982 around Morrissey (vocals) and Johnny Marr (guitar), remain one of the most influential indie rock bands in British music history. Their short yet powerful discography — including cult albums like The Queen Is Dead (1986) and Meat Is Murder (1985) — defined a generation with its introspective lyrics and instantly recognizable jangle pop sound.

With their timeless blend of poetic melancholy and sharp social commentary, The Smiths captured the soul of 1980s England. The chemistry between Morrissey’s poignant, ironic writing and Marr’s shimmering guitars created a sound that became the blueprint for countless alternative and indie acts worldwide.
