It's not a matter of what he would like, it's a matter of ACCESS. There was no Spotify. You didn't have access to the entire library of culture at your fingertips at all-time. there were very real barriers to discovery, and it is established that Jonathan lacks those means to overcome those barriers. In order to have the Smiths in 1983, you HAD to be a tremendous music nerd, and you had to have money.
If this show was lazy in its other references, it wouldn't matter, but this show is so careful in its set design and musical cues, when they get stuff wrong, it felt like being off by orders of magnitude. Sort of like the Uncanny Valley.
Like, if Mike had an older brother who had a rare import 7 inch, I'd buy it. It would still make him likely too cool for the time period as he'd be literally one of the 1st 100 people in the country into it, but okay. But not a kid who uses his paycheck to help his mom with the mortgage.
It's partly about character, but it's also about class.

The Smiths is the debut studio album by the English rock band The Smiths, recorded in 1983 and released on 20 February 1984
Johnathan had spent the summer in Manchester visiting an aunt, and one night the two of them stumbled upon the Hacienda. Better? It's a stretch, not a big deal imo.

Holy nitpick Batman!
If you're so obsessed with this minor detail, it could very easily be explained as The Smith's record being a gift from his cretinous "hip" dad.

Good grief man.
The show was damn near perfect and you are hung up over what music one of the characters listened to?
Just letting it go and enjoy the show. I her up in the 80s and never gave a second's thought that one single characters musical choices ruined the whole thing.
