Was Every day is like sunday a hit? I saw the video for Suedehead on VH1 once. HOW SOON IS NOW is probably the biggest Smiths song, it was covered by like 600 bands..

Many hits(mostly only in the UK and the rest of Europa) and it's quite decent, he had some great albums(viva hate, your arsenal, southpaw grammar and of course bona bragg). His last albums were god dam awful.

And for Marr, The healers album was decent. Never been a fan of we were dead before the ship even sank and the cribs album he plays on is very mediocre.

But it's a better living then being Andy Rourke.

Maybe his skills are amaizng -- I wouldn't know, aren't all the songs contributed to the band as a whole? How do you guys know who wrote what part?

most are written by thom, and when its a particular thing, it always comes up in interviews.. like 'jonny's piano chords sampled on the eraser' 'phil drum loop idea for airbag' the tourist was written by jonny' 'pyramid song is one i wrote in 5 minutes' etc
but his skills are not amazing, it's just a matter of taste really.

Yeah, but Joey certainly soaks up as much attention from maggots, as Corey Taylor does.

The one criminally underrated member of the group is their bassist, Paul Grey. Hell, you can barely even hear him on half of the tracks!

Have you ever heard Bitchslap/Do Nothing off of Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat?

It's insanely cool.

The NFL actually used Every Day Is Like Sunday in their promos during the 2008-2009 (American) football season...which I thought was REALLY funny.

As for the topic at hand: I'm surprised no one's mentioned Kim Thayil yet...
