Sound of The Smiths

Looking at that, in this case, I'd say yes!

Placid Chucklesome and magic at the same time. Love it.

Easily one of the best bands these isles have produced.

Under-the-ground agreed 👍

Quiz Question for you…

Apart from Johnny Marr playing on the Billie Ellish (Bond Theme) number 1, which other Smiths member played on a UK number 1 hit?

Go…

Flaneur I guessed who - just on the basis he was in other groups before he (sort of) came on board

4 Smiths or 5?

Smiths member… 🙃

I will leave the question as I do sort of know one…😉

CBIT The thing is, I’m not fully sure he played on that number 1?

The song got to number 1 after a reissue with a tie-in to a TV commercial.

Do you know if he did?

Flaneur according to wiki (yeah yeah i know) he did

Original song was in 1984 - the reissue was in 1993

Hmmm…

Flaneur yeah, in my eagerness i misread it !

Russell Irvine?

🙃 So it’s a non-question, unless i’d wanna phrase it around John Marr for the Bond Theme.

Confirmed in here;

Didn’t one of them do a shit load with Michael Jackson and Madonna? Guy Pratt?

Misura Of ‘The Rockontuers’ podcast?

If so, he only very nearly joined them:
