Lot of bands have been inspired be the Smiths and, imo, improved upon their sound. Also none of the bands on that playlist are fronted by twats (as far as I know).
Didn't get The Smiths initially. Berk poncing around to jangly guitar on TOTP with a bunch of daffodils sticking out of his trousers. But The Queen Is Dead finally got me there.

Hate the singer, Love the song! The theme of every Smiths listener now.
