Smiths are a group I need to get to know better. One of my buddies has 1st British pressings of all there LPs that I can borrow. That would be a good place for me to start I suppose.

Do it. The end of Morrissey/Marr was a sad day for music. Marr took what was basically old English folk music, sped it up and paired it with the poetic/artsy and closeted homo lyrics of Morrissey. The result was an upbeat, melancholy sound that no one else has been able to replicate since their break up in 1987. It's good chit man.
Not much of a Marr solo guy. Love the Smiths. To me he and Morrissey are like Van Halen / Roth, they are better together and the sum is greater than the parts. Imagine the money left on the table those clowns have left. Reunite, tour, and laugh all the way to the bank.
Listen to songs like London and This Charming Man, to say nothing of How Soon Is Now. Compare that to shit that's on Viva Hate. Marr also drove the bus for The The and Modest Mouse. He's an awesome musician.
