R.E.M. and Echo and the Bunnymen
Pretty much anything that Howard Devoto was a part of.
Who's your second favorite? Sorry if a similar thread has been created before, but I couldn't find anything.
I'll start: David Bowie.
For me it’s a complicated question, if forced, I would have to say Morrissey has had a larger impact on my life. But Bowie has had a steady impact on my art, along with many other lesser known outsiders and artists.
It may sound strange, though when asked
what my favorite bands are, for me The Smiths or Morrissey don’t fall in that category. For me The Smiths/Morrissey have always been something different something other than just music or another band.
