The Observer has named the release of "This Charming Man" as one of the most important moments in rock 'n roll history: Their second single and first hit, 'This Charming Man' had a signature sound that would establish the Smiths as the most important British group of the Eighties. Johnny Marr's chiming guitar and Morrissey's odd, genderless lyrics combined to give a new spin to what was essentially a classic rock sound. Quintessentially English, they singlehandedly reclaimed guitar pop in a decade when it had almost been consigned to the dustbin of history.Putting The Smiths in the same hierarchy as Dylan, Hendrix and The Beatles, among others.

twas a fantastic record indeed
and still sounds brilliant today
i still wish they had released handsome devil as a single
