you mentioned The Smiths....
take your time with these guys, they tended not to hit the spot with me immediately back in the 1980s...took a few years to appreciate them and what they were about, found their lyrics and vocals to be extremely depressing(the forerunners for 'emo' i guess?)....
their principle guitarist/writer is a guy named Johnny Marr,he is one of the most reveered writers/guitarists to emerge from the UK in the last 35 years...it seems anybody who is anybody wants to record with him...the same goes for Graham Coxon from Blur...i would describe them as the UK's version of Jack White in that respect!
You may be right. the Smiths may be an acquired taste. I didn't love them in the 80's I like them now. I just don't have a lot of their stuff. I do have one Morrisey album but that's all.
