Try Joy Division. They are a bit earlier than the Smiths ( from 1977), but the general sound is similar (and just as depressing!). You could also try the early New Order albums Movement and Power, Corruption And Lies, from 1981 and 1983 respectively. These are very dark and moody. PCL is easier to listen to though.

Maximo Park are good and have definitely been inflenced by The Smiths, with a slightly punkier edge. Gene are pretty similar to The Smiths but not as good (obviously).

I would suggest just listening to The Smiths, if that's what you're after. Nothing else would be the same, would it? Are you doing a compare and contrast essay or something?

The Cowboy Junkies, Concrete Blond, Mazzy Star, Baby Animals, Pixies, Remy Zero, Frou Frou, the Shinns, Morrissey (Duh) and the nosebleeds... Some harder some softer, all similar in the weird factor...
