    Morrissey’s lyrics and persona were understandably the focal point a lot, but Marr and especially the rhythm section deserve far more credit. Listened to any Morrissey records lately? Yeah, me either.
    Marr is his own genre.

    Such a perfect combination of talented individuals. As for the voice and lyricism, no one could’ve done it better than Morrissey. The guitar compositions are legendary due to Marr’s unique combination of diverse influences. Rourke’s bass lines complement Marr’s lines so well and add the cherry on top while Joyce’s impeccable timing and well-timed fills bring it all together like a delicious vegan sandwich.
