I don't listen to The Smiths much now but when they first emerged they had a massive impact on me. They were like my Nirvana I suppose, which is part of the reason why i'd never criticise Nirvana to a Nirvana fan. I can appreciate that they meant something very important to them at one point and that even if that moment has passed, they remain significant on a very personal level and that my indifference towards them means far less than their passion.
