Morrissey / Marr Inspirations...

Things that the two of them have mentioned in variations as inspirations which bonded them or influenced the writing of specific songs...

The New York Dolls. Of course
 
The Marvelettes - The B-Side Marr chose to play from
Morrissey's collection at their first meeting
 
Dionne Warwick. An abiding Morrissey favourite.
A great, potentially Smiths title and again a B-Side
 
Pete Shelley. Something the band listened to
in clubs in the early days
 
Hamilton Bohannon - Disco Stomp.
An inspiration for How Soon is Now
 
Patti Smith - a Morrissey favourite. He covered it
 
Bob & Marcia. A favourite of both
 
Reparata - Shoes. An inspiration for A Rush And A Push...
 
Marvin Gaye - the inspiration behind the riff for There Is A Light
 
Nico - One of Morrissey's Desert Island Discs
