Re: (TV) OT: Most distinctive guitar sound

[Graham Urquhart <gurquhart@madasafish.com>]

For me the Morrissey/Marr relationship is a bit akin to Tom/Richard.  
That creation of something much bigger than the sum of parts which never 
quite attains the same starry heights on the solo projects.  I can't 
think off the top of my head anything 'standout' by Marr or Morrissey 
post the Smiths and yet for me the first Smiths album in particular is a 
fully formed gem and seemed to arrive from nowhere when first released.  
Similarly as I can't imagine Television without Fred and Billy, The 
Smiths rythym section was equally a major defining element of the 
sound.  I think Marr had a very distinctive guitar sound within the 
Smiths but as Rex? mentioned his playing and tonal versatility means 
that I wouldn't necessarily recognise him on other peoples records.
