+1 to that. Some of the Smiths bass lines are great examples of melodic playing, but the overall feel is what really stands out. We play What Difference Does it Make in my covers band. It's a dead simple bass line, but the feel, and how it just works for the song, is a fantastic example of a tasteful bassline really defining the song. Pulling that off live is actually harder than I expected it to be!

I think WDDIM is his best bassline
The Smiths are truly one of the great UK rock bands. Still surprised some people "don't get them".
I'd argue Marr/Morrissey have one of the strongest songbooks in music.
