critics consider the band one of the most important to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s.
Based on the songwriting partnership of Morrissey and Marr, the Smiths' focus on a guitar, bass, and drum sound, and fusion of 1960s rock and post-punk, were a rejection of the synthesiser-based dance-pop of the time. The friction between Morrissey and Marr resulted in a flurry of singles and albums over the course of three years that provided the blueprint for British guitar rock in the following decade.
**”The Smiths”***, the band's debut studio album, on the surface, the sound wasn't radically different from traditional British guitar pop, but it was actually an astonishing subversion of the form, turning the structure inside out.
Morrissey had a distinctively ironic, witty, and literate viewpoint whose strangeness was accentuated by his off-kilter voice, which would move from a croon to a yelp in a matter of seconds, pop, and Marr's ringing, layered guitars were catchy and melodic.
While the production of ***”The Smiths”*** is a little pristine, the songs are vital and alive, developing a new, unique voice within pop music.
***“What Difference Does It Make”*** is the ninth song on the **Smiths** self-titled debut album, released on 20 February 1984 by **”[Rough Trade Records](
