I had a few Smiths fan friends growing up in the 80's but I was never a fan myself. Just didn't connect with them. I liked Black Sabbath, Beastie Boys, Prince etc. I even refused a ticket to go to see The Smiths in Belfast. That would have been my first ever concert. I went to see Nik Kershaw instead. The shame....
Then one day in july 1989 I was in the Virgin Megastore in Oxford Street, trying to avoid a man dressed as a Cyberman giving out flyers advertising a new Doctor Who video, when There Is A Light That Never Goes Out played over the speakers. I thought it was the greatest song I'd ever heard (still do) and immediately bought The World Won't Listen on tape.
That whole summer I only had three tapes: TWWL, Green by R.E.M. and 101 by Depeche Mode. At the time, they were all I needed.
