80s Music Question 10
My Life In Music (UK Charts) - Since the turn of the millennium, I have gone some way to achieving my all time dream by having interviewed various music celebrities - many of them my former idols - for my website. The person I enjoyed interviewing the most was the guitarist from a 1980s band who had hits with "Shoplifters Of The World Unite" and "Ask" amongst others. What is his name?
The correct answer is 'Johnny Marr'
Possibly my all time favourite band (well, it's either them or the Pixies), Marr of course was the guitarist in The Smiths, who had an enormous impact on the UK music scene, clocking up 15 top 30 hits in just four years. Lead singer Morrissey is still something of a cultural icon.
The alternative options were also guitarists in some of my other favourite bands: Will Sergeant was in Echo and the Bunnymen, Joey Santiago was from the Pixies and Mick Jones was in the classic punk band The Clash.
