I think
that "The Smiths" are one of the most significant British bands that
made a good contribution to the music world' because they have a unique style.
They have 4 albums, and I think that their most successful album was “The Queen
Is Dead” in 1989 because this became number 2 on the British chart. Also the
magazine "Spin" situated this album in the first spot of their list
as "The Greatest Albums Ever Made.”From this
album I want to emphasize the song "There is a Light that Never Goes
Out." This is one of my favorite songs of The Smiths, and I think it’s one
of the most known. This song is considered as one of the tragic, deeper love
songs ever written, and one of the most important pieces of poetic contemporary
popular music, which has been recorded in over 20 different language versions.This song
is a little controversial because the lyrics have some coincidences with the
mystery of Princess Diana’s death. Also the name of the album announces a royal
death.Some
interesting facts:-After Princess Diana’s death Morrissey, was
interviewed by correspondent Andres Lokko of the Swedish music magazine POP
(edition of January 1998) who asked him “How did you react when you heard of
Princess Diana’s death?” and Morrissey answered “It was so predictable. It was expected....”I hope you liked. We will write next week about
another band or artist.If you want you can suggest a band and we will
try to post the information here.
