My next band on the Greatest 80's era bands is the Smiths. I'm still working my way through all their music to make their countdown blogs. So this will be a bridge blog to those blogs. Although Morrissey is the most famous of The Smiths, the most prolific is guitarist Johnny Marr. He'w worked with everyone from Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, The The, Modest Mouse, Electronic, with the Healers, The Cribs and of course his own solo music. His third solo CD, "Call The Comet" will be released on June 15th, 2018. These are the selected best songs of Johnny Marr not including his solo work or his solo work.
I give Marr and Billy Duffy plenty of credit for taking on one of the best known movie themes ever, but ultimately their version is not as good as the original. This was released in 1992.
"The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" original theme:
With Paul McCartney "I Saw Her Standing There":
Sadly I can't find a video of this performance.
Modest Mouse's 2007 CD "We Were Dead Before The Ship Ever Sank" was the first #1 CD that Marr ever played on.
