Candidate 3:57 02. Exit Connection 2:35 The supple, ringing guitars of Johnny Marr helped establish the Smiths among the most acclaimed and enduring bands of the 1980s. Born John Maher in Manchester, England, on October 31, 1963, he played in such little-known groups as Sister Ray and Freaky Party before forming the Smiths with singer Morrissey in 1982. In the years to follow they emerged among Britain's most successful acts, but in 1987, following sessions for the LP "Strangeways, Here We Come", Marr dissolved the group, claiming their musical approach had gone stale. "Candidate" single lifted off 2014's "Playland" b/w exclusive b-side "Exit Connection".
