I need not explain why, but just in case there are some thickoes out there, one example will suffice: "How Soon Is Now."

Well - sonically it's spot on.
But in terms of musicality, technique, composition, it's no I Am The One And Only.

Johnny Marr wasn't that great a guitarist.

he really wasn't
he was also clearly a wanker, by association if nothing else

Dunno about the wanker part.
I saw him a couple of years ago doing a charidee gig with Andy Rourke and he came across as a fairly decent bloke. But he's still a bit of a one-trick pony on the geetar.

I really really hate the Smiths though
and Morrissey, hence the "by association if nothing else"

How Soon is Now?
You mean the riff he lifted from Can's "I Want More"?

I fucking love Can.
I've seen Damo Suzuki a couple of times over the last few years doing his endless tour of awesome. He's about four inches tall. They wouldn't let me take him home in my pocket. Sad times.
