The Fall's founding member remembered by those who knew him best.
On January the 24th of 2018, Mark E Smith passed away from cancer. For 42 of his 60 years, he fronted The Fall – a firestorm of a band that fused post-punk, amphetamine rockabilly, inimitable lyrics, gargling electronics and anything else they decided to throw in along the way. Often considered the epitome of a cult band – venerated by those in the know, but overlooked by the masses – they were notoriously prolific, releasing over 30 studio albums, plus countless EPs, live albums and compilations. The band's headcount was similarly vast, with more than 60 members over the years.
There will never be anyone like him
RIP Mark
If you don't know The Fall here are my favourite albums
Cerebral Caustic
Fiend with a Violin
The Light User Syndrome
Complete John Peel Sessions 78-2004

Perverted by Language
- and more
