Every Smiths songs 'bar several covers,' is a Morrissey/Marr composition. Many people often forget that Marr played such a big role and that was my point. Did Marr need Morrissey more than Morrissey needed Marr? Absolutely. But, Morrissey also needed Marr. Example, in my humble opinion, if you listed the 25 best songs that Morrissey has ever lent his voice to, ATLEAST 20 of those 'and I think 22 or 23' would be from the Smiths catalogue, which were all co-written with Marr. Is Marr one of the most technically proficent guitarists out there? No. But I am glad. I'd take Marr and his arranging/producing/writing skills over Steve Vai or Yngwie 7 days out of the week. Like The Edge or Tom Petty, Marr never needed to be flashy or solo like Eddie Van Halen. But as Noel Gallagher says on Youtube, "Marr can't even play what Marr played." And yes, I know that on the studio albums the guitars are layered upon eachother and that is why it sounds so good, but my original point was that Marr and Morrissey were equal WITHIN the group, and while there is no argument who has been more successfull since the break-up, let's not forget that Morrissey made his best stuff with the aid of Marr and that is not a point that can be argued.
