I humbly submit to you, GBS, that, despite being an insufferably smug douchebag vegetarian who inconsiderately cancels shows on what seem to be the slightest of whims, Morrissey owns. His music is the perfect combination of heartfelt, clever, funny, and just plain catchy. There are few songsmiths living today who can compare to the Moz in his prime. He even has appeal beyond sad sack upper-class white people: Latin America, in particular, seems to absolutely adore him, for some reason. Now enjoy this song of his; I picked it out especially for you guys:

OP I concur, but he's apparently allergic to the Detroit area, which, now that I've written the words, seems completely understandable and forgivable.

Johnny Marr and Morrissey can both be good, and are. But I will say that Morrissey has just as much good solo stuff as he does stuff with The Smiths, IMO. He is and always was a very talented songwriter and integral part of what made The Smiths so good.

also i gotta disagree with the general opinion that the smiths were very good and that his solo stuff is very bad, if anything half the smiths tracks were purposeless pop music

He banned meat from being sold during his set at Riot Fest in Chicago, and played Ganglord with graphic videos of police brutality to the mostly white audience. Dude is loving awesome.

His solo albums are good, but don't you dare besmirch The Smiths again.

It's too bad he didn't do much with Steven Street and Vini Reilly, Viva Hate was the best solo album imo. Alain Whyte was cool too and Morrissey albums haven't been as good since he left.

Viva Hate sounds just like a Smiths record.

Wasn't he once quoted as saying that if he died he would be hailed as the most important musician of the last 100 years or something.

Also The Smiths hate each other so much that they won't do any kind of reunion tour for even like millions of dollars.

Lol smug Brits
