The Smiths

The Smiths were the definitive post punk band, leading a movement in music popular in Britain in the eighties known there as "indie" after most bands' tendency to release to independent labels (although many released to major labels). The Smiths were greatly influential on modern indie bands who are trying to revive the style, especially Interpol. They had two gold albums. They have been considered for the Hall of Fame before but not chosen. Frontman Morrissey went on to have a successful solo career.
