    He was one of the best-selling recording artists of the 1960s, though. Always worth bearing that in mind when people bang on about the swinging sixties imo. People may have been grooving to Hendrix in London, but in the provinces they were buying Doddy records by the lorry-load.

    'Tears' is a great record, though. Not quite as good as Wisdom's 'Don't Laugh At Me', of course, but excellent all the same.

    The great british public certainly thought so.....it was the third best selling record of the 60s, with only two Beatles songs (She Loves You and I Want To Hold Your Hand) ahead of it.

    No. Because quality and popularity are different things.

    If you don't accept that The Smiths are the greatest British band since The Beatles, you are simply wrong, I'm afraid. Acting the boll0cks about it won't change that fundamental fact.
