He definitely doesn't sing "Weird Lover Wilde" or "The love of Wilde". He either sings:
1) "Whale blubber Wilde" (this is what I always sing when I sing along. It makes sense because he calls Wilde hideously fat in interviews.)
or
2) Wiiii-lde-buh-buh-Wilde" (a drawn out version of...
I've always been extremely fond of...
"In '83 the thing to be is ... handsome..."
and
"Would somebody please ask the journalists to stop throwing things?"
My goodness, you have some strange "feel good" songs listed there! I'd agree with some of them, but really, "Let Me Kiss You" is such a song of self-loathing!
"But then you open your eyes
And you see someone you physically despise
But my heart is open to you"
I haven't felt such a sting...
Hmmmm...
"With your jean belt wrapped around you arm
Oh, Sunny - my heart goes out to you
And with the needle pressed onto tight skin
Sunny, I cry when I see where it's taken you"
Somehow, I don't think of Sunny as an uplifting song...
There's nothing that The Smiths released that I wish had never been recorded, but there are a few Moz songs I could live without:
Sorrow Will Come In The End
I Just Want To See The Boy Happy
Journalists Who Lie
Papa Jack
That's Entertainment (a crap version of a great song)
Asian Rut...
That's a good guess. If we knew who the photographer was, it would narrow it down. Does anyone know? It's possible that it's from the Anton Corbijn Viva Hate cover session.
I'm not sure when it was taken but I believe it was taken somewhere between 1985-1987. The reason I think this is the sideburns are cut short. He didn't wear his sideburns cut short like that during most of his solo career. You'll recall that during the '91-'92 era he had very long sideburns...

Who says "I Keep Mine Hidden" is ace? It's the worse thing that the Smiths ever committed to vinyl. "Work Is A Four-Letter Word" is much better. IMHO, of course...
I actually LOVE "Work is a Four-Letter Word" and I think Morrissey's vocals are quite endearing. And I also quite like "Golden Lights". I guess there's one in every crowd, eh?
Becoming more and more dull??? You mean, since 1990? What was the last good video Morrissey made? "Ouija Board"? Most of his video are terrible, starting with "November..." and spiralling downward to "In the Future..." (And to think it started off so promisingly too with the glorious...
It's always been that way, hasn't it? Morrissey has always felt that b-sides should be of excellent quality, rather than throwaways like most groups. It's one of his most treasurable qualities. Think of all the exceptional tracks that were relegated to b-sides:
Jeanne
Wonderful Woman...
I think he's always been good at it - I loved "Skin Storm" and "East West" - but his quality has certainly never wavered. The one downside to his cover of "A Song From Under The Floorboard" is that it is so lyrically superior to anything Morrissey has done in a long time that it really puts a...
I love his taste in cover versions - it's always impeccable! "Human Being" is a brilliant song and so is "A Song From Under The Floorboards". Certainly both of these songs are better than anything on Ringleader (excepting "Life Is A Pigsty" - of course). And "No One Can Hold A Candle To You"...
During the shows that I dragged my girlfriend too, she enjoyed the Morrissey solo songs (especially the Quarry-era songs) much better than The Smiths too. Go figure...
Ummmm, this is the comtesse's girlfriend. I would like to clarify that I am NOT into death metal. I like some metal....good metal, like Monster Magnet, TOOL, Queens Of The Stone Age, etc. I'm a rock chick, yes. And I like it heavy. Gimme punk or metal over Morrissey any day!! ;)
No, she likes to ridicule me for it, actually. She's actually into death metal, lord help her sweet misguided soul. I have dragged her to Morrissey and Belle & Sebastian shows, which was quite entertaining. She does try, but Mozzer is just not her cup of tea. Ah well, it takes all kinds. At...
