I said: “you feel that some people shouldn’t be interested in Morrissey if they don’t subscribe to the same exact things that he does.”
To which you replied: “They can be interested. No one’s stopping them. But why are they?”
Ergo: you question why they are interested in Morrissey even though...
Why are they interested in Morrissey when they don’t subscribe to the same exact things that he does? Are you really asking that question? Not even you agree with everything he says or does, according to yourself. So why are you here?
If you’ve followed an artist for decades it takes a lot to...
Yet the issue remains: you feel that some people shouldn’t be interested in Morrissey if they don’t subscribe to the same exact things that he does. I for one relate to that particular issue, but not to some of the politics. Am I allowed to listen to Morrissey?
And like I said it is possible...
I think it’s presumptuous to more or less say who should or shouldn’t be interested in Morrissey. Personally, I relate to a lot of stuff that one could say make up Morrissey’s character (the vegetarianism, the ‘outsiderhood’, and so on and so forth), but at the same time I feel a strong aversion...
Off the top of my head, in no particular order:
There is a Light
Still Ill
I Know It’s Over
Never-Played Symphonies
Now My Heart Is Full
Please, Please…
Sunday
Paint a Vulgar Picture
Back to the Old House (Hatful)
I Won’t Share You
Well I Wonder
Ouija Board
Seasick…
Heaven Knows…...
Right. 👍🏻👍🏻
I have no idea what Bragg has said and I don’t know what Rowling’s exact thoughts on the matter are. Nor have I claimed that I do.
Systemic racism is very much a real issue.
You are one of the most intense, die-hard, devout and hardcore right-wing posters on here. To debate with...
And I’m sorry that you constantly feel the need to diminish and patronize your opponent, use master suppression techniques and make yourself out to be some sort of impeccable elite. It’s not a good look and it doesn’t hold up.
I never used the word ‘original’. But there are however some very...
At the end of the day, it’s still Morrissey we’re talking about. That weighs a ton. LIHS, despite being the ugly cousin locked in the cellar, is still a part of his discography and history. Bowie is great, but he’s never meant nearly as much to me as Moz (except for Low).
Yes, I just made a comparison to the Scott albums I like the most.
I disagree. That might have been the case before, but I think the quality has dropped significantly these past ten years or so. And you don’t agree, and that’s fine. There are plenty of excellent artists out there making...
No, definitely not.
That’s your opinion and that’s fine.
I prefer Morrissey overall to Bowie. Morrissey has meant the world to me for 20 plus years. So, despite its many and sorrowful flaws, I’d probably take LIHS over NLMD.
I always do. My second favorite on TTBCI is actually the lovely and schmaltzy ballad towards the end, The Hills of Yesterday. But the album as a whole has never grabbed me in the same way as Scott 1-4, or the masterpieces he made from 1984-2014. And regarding Nite Flights, The Electrician is...
Maybe he was? He never once made anything as awful as LIHS, though. Not even Never Let Me Down, boring though it was.
Of course he is. And we are allowed to criticize said songs.
I’d never call TTBCI wonderful nor amazing. But Thanks for Chicago, Mr James is excellent. Nite Flights is terribly uneven, but it helped spawn Climate of Hunter and so forth, for which I am eternally grateful.
I’d prefer good quality lyrics.
