The Smiths’ career was short – they recorded their first single in May 1983 and Marr left the group in June 1987 – but influential. The quartet melded mid-1960s sounds with contemporary ideas from post-punk. Marr’s guitar playing was modelled on the jangle of The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn. He avoided clichés like solos and power chords in favour of intricate arpeggios and jangling rhythms. Morrissey was a punk fan whose odd croon alternated between keen wit and morose self-pity.
