really liked it

This is a decent chronology of one of the most influential indie bands of all time, The Smiths, told through its catalogue of songs. It details the life of the group as it progressed through its short 5 year career, focusing on each individual track (complete with relevant information). It's an enjoyable way to see the evolution of its members and the songwriting craft of Morrissey and Marr.
Perhaps not one for everyone, this is probably aimed squarely at those obsessed fans rather than the casual listener, but it's lovingly written by Simon Goddard and, as well as focusing on all the tracks, also covers The Smiths' tours, radio & TV appearances.
