[QUOTE="Moz Fan, post: 1987363423"] Morrissey was more important to the mythic proportions The Smiths reached, as Fiona described it. I am not a deluded fan and I don't hate JM. It's the opposite. I admire his art in The Smiths and respect his devoted work as a musician, even though I don't know much of it. JM was very important and the partnership Moz/Marr created great music, but he doesn't appear to me as important as Morrissey when I consider the philosophical, aesthetic, poetic and imagetic appeal of The Smiths. I agree with Fiona: Morrissey was the face of The Smiths. To me and to many, many fans. In The Smiths it's his face, his lyrics, his voice and his image that's remained indelible in our hearts and souls throughout the years. [/QUOTE]
