The Smiths: The Smiths (1984) The strapping torso on the cover of the Smiths' eponymous debut belongs to American actor and gay sex icon Joe Dallesandro. The still was taken from Andy Warhol's 1968 film Flesh, which was called one of the year's best films by Rolling Stone. The Smiths, and especially lead singer Morissey, became underground gay icons in their own right, and soon Rolling Stone would be lauding their music, not just their cover art. -- MJ
