Relauncing one of the greats in rock: The Smiths
|
|
Over the last few days I have gone through the whole discography of The Smiths here on Genius. Going through each studio and compilation album, adding metadata, correcting album art, rewriting old SLA’s, answering questions, accepting/archiving comments, suggestions and annotations, upvoting, upvoting, upvoting all the good work already present, deleting pressburgs.. ahem.. contributions? Anyway – everything is in a pretty good shape, so NOW is a better time than ever (on Genius) to dive into the amazing band that was the Smiths – whether your Smiths virginity is still intact or if you’re looking to revisit an old love.
Need further incentive? How about the fact that knowledge of and love for the Smiths might get you a data with Zooey!
P.s. there’s still a lot of potential work to do on annotations etc. I’ll keep a keen eye, as I have all their songs #followed, so your work won’t go unnoticed.
P.p.s. To encourage comments in this thread I ask thee: What are your favourite three the Smiths'
