I respect your opinion but In all honesty I think The Smiths are the greatest band that ever existed.

Obviously Morrissey solo isn't quite up to par with the Moz & Marr catalog but to me even the worst stuff Morrissey produced is greater than 90% of the stuff ever recorded.

Amazing how different people's musical tastes are.  

Since when did Moz ever have "mass appeal"?

 
 tell me why you think he's better than 90% - I would be happy to be convinced.

Finally back to overcast weather, I walk up to my RP, and who should I hear but the good ol' Mozzer. Climbing back into the comforting chrysalis of his pomp and remonstrance. Wish this moment could last forever!

No offense intended to all the Morrisey fans here, but I finally figured out what it is about his songs that bugs me. He has a propensity to create a melody based on major thirds, then he beats the I and the III to death. I'm sure I'm not explaining it in a way that anyone can understand, but imagine riffing on just the first two notes of "Brahm's Lullaby"...it's kinda like that. JMPO, but it drives me up a wall every time I hear it (from Morrisey or anyone else).

Sigh...first time hearing Morrissey on RP. Love it. (And I haven't listed to Vauxhall in many years, so this pick was a gem.)

What an exciting morning this is turning out to be...I thought I'd already maxed out the 'Hey, wow' factor this morning, hearing Postal Service here for the first time, too. But apparently Bill is a crafty one! (Thanks for a great Friday so far, Bill!)

Great song, and really great album. I got this by mistake from a music club and was not pleased at first...but I think it's one of Morrissey's better solo efforts.

Reminds me of why we admire British actors so much, they are not afraid to show emotion and expression in their voices. Yes his favorite subject is his own unrequited love, but this guy has the most distinctive (at least to my ears) voice in rock.

Point well taken, perhaps, as to the music, but Morrissey doesn't write his own music! He has always relied upon guitarist-collaborators ( most notably Johnny Marr, in the Smiths) for his melodies. His collaborator, writing all the music, on this song is Alain Whyte, and some responsibility for the arrangement can also perhaps be assigned to the producer, Steve Lillywhite. I do agree that it fails to meet the standard set by Moz's collaboration with Marr, who is simply the most innovative and brilliant guitarist and composer to come out of the UK in the past twenty years. This is merely okay, not brilliant.

yeah, yeah...or as I put it...he's a whiny, self obsessed boring wimp and he won't stop letting us know it.
