I think Johnny should be worth more though, he wrote the The Smiths music after all...Would have Morrissey got famous without Johnny Marr and his good jangly rhythm? probably not since The Smiths ended when Johnny Marr left.
I disagree with this, johnny saved Morrissey from the dole line BUT it was Morrissey who poured his soul in to The Smiths and made them something special.
Left to Marr they would have been a typical Manchester Lads band.
Morrissey changed the language of music, in the same way The Beatles and Bowie did, it just took longer as the audience wasn't there like it was in the 60's and 70's.
All good and original art shows a side of life that hasn't been shown before, although there were a lot of us Morrissey types around we weren't shown in Music.
I am of only in my 30's but I didn't discover Morrissey until I was 18 and by that time I was fully formed, Quiff,sensitive,working class in to James dean, certain books, Kitchen Sink films,etc, I even had a simular dress sence and sence of wit.
So when I discoverd Morrissey it was very powerful.
My point is, it's never just about music
