On August 1st, 1987, NME broke the news that the Smiths were breaking up. San Francisco Weekly decided to celebrate the 25th anniversary of that fateful date by posting a feature The Top 25 Smiths Songs Of All Time, 25 Years After The Band's Split.

Bonus: the awesome "Sweet & Tender Hooligan" made the top 10. Read the article here.
As previously reported a 20th anniversary edition of Morrissey & Marr: The Severed Alliance will be published in the fall. The Quietus recently posted full text of Chapter 28 - Unhappy Birthday here.
