For reasons I can't explain, I decided to listen to all Morrissey studio albums this evening....and by a short head from Your Arsenal....my favourite is....outta nowhere....YEARS OF REFUSAL! No surprise to lots of you, but a very welcome moment of clarity for me....
Taking all context into account - putting on Your Arsenal for the first time gets it for me. When Morrissey ruled the world right enough!
Just too good...
Re: Royal Albert Hall show cancelled tonight
Feel sorry for all you guys - I really do....I was very close to arranging to go to this particular gig as I've never seen him in London, and the reason for nearly coming was because some pals were toying with going to see him for the first time...
spinelessswine nailed it at #38...well said.
...and Kewpie's right, why should we bother really....we like him and that's all there is to it.....
There's a lot on here who seem to demand that loads of people buy his records and take him to #1, but at the same time don't want him to become...
Sorry - I just don't understand the point of it all. The Smiths were a band made up of a really tight rythym section, a young guitar genius and a totally unique frontman.

I remember hearing/seeing This Charming Man on radio and Top of the Pops
In the days of "record tokens" I bought the 12-inch of "Heaven Knows...." on a bit of a whim really. Viv Nicholson on the cover, Suffer Little Children and Still Ill (I think) on the flip side. I haven't got it any...
I think we can all count ourselves very lucky indeed that the great man is still making music for us - remember, he was finished at 40! Southpaw and Maladjusted together with "the court case" finished him as far as us of a certain age were concerned, and we contented ourselves with his legacy...
Morrissey got one of the luckiest breaks in popular music history when Johnny Marr knocked on his Mum's door.
If Johnny doesn't knock on that door, Moz doesn't make it on to ANY lists. Ever.
Just the coolest (and handsome-est) guy ever...
Great kick-in, Alsatian Cousin his best ever solo first album track (Great idea for a poll !!), then Little Man dips, EILS and Bengali are superb, Angel gets in the way, Maudlin Street isn;t everyone's cup of tea, Suedehead could have been the...
It's crunch time all right - one more turkey and he's history...
He's teetering on the brink of becoming totally irrelevant, and there's just not enough sympathy out there in critic-land to allow him to keep getting away with releasing half-hearted drivel.
While I'm at it - if he must do...
