I've always loved listening to The Fall and was lucky enough to see them live a few times.
A quote from the BBC says it all: "a true uncompromising musical maverick".

Re: RIP Mark E. Smith
A sad loss indeed
Saw the miserable scroat a few times and he was always spot on
Cause of death - fags and booze
Anti-hero and definitely a one off
Fav song - totally wired

Re: RIP Mark E. Smith
unique and brilliant.
Anyone that can write songs with the breadth of Bill is Dead through to I am Damo Suzuki, and still pull off a cover of 'lost in music' thoroughly deserves to be called a musical genius. Wrote the best football song ever as well.
Much like Joy Division, the Fall stand apart from other music, defying comparison. Might go and put 'Extricate' on and have a pint.

Re: RIP Mark E. Smith
Recently read his biography.
Some parts of him I agreed/enjoyed.... but for the most part he was such a cantancarous and bitter old piss pot.
