I think that some people just shouldn't be covered. Morrissey is one of them.
Mark E. Smith is another.
I made a new friend in 1992. He was obsessed with Bowie. We fell out in the end: his girlfriend admired cancer research and I contested that it was killing more beings than it saved.
It was at the start of my Morrissey fascination, and he knew loads about music, and I asked him about The Smiths’ best ever song. In an instant he answered Well I Wonder. He was from Manchester, he didn’t like Morrissey, he found him too conservative (in 1992) and he might well have been right. About the song, obviously.
Your former friend had a good taste in music. But if he found Morrissey already too conservative in 1992, then he must really hate him now.
Yes, I can agree with that. Especially Smith.
But we can’t stop them !
Very good cover but it did have some missing for me, whereas this version for a cover hits the spot perfectly.
I think a lot of people feel that way, especially those who have been following this site for years, decades; but if you leave, the racist c***s win. Just take a breath, then take your own advice and ignore them. Smith/Morrissey music is too important to abandon. Even people who are frustrated with some of Moz's political views can still appreciate and share the beauty of the art. There are many people on here who enjoy connecting with others who truly appreciate the work, not who come here just to spew their hateful propaganda. Take care, come back.Can I have the number I’m reporting reelfountain and SS HOFMANN to the police and solo bosses , I’ve had enough on here hovis , it’s always been a pleasure chatting with you , alas enough is enough, I’m not happy with what’s going on here so I’ll say my good byes to all ....... it’s been a ball ....... the racists have won !!

Remember that Morrissey considers it an honor to be covered by other artists.
You're talking to someone who's got it right now, congratulations. Consider your horizons expanded.

Can I report carlislebaz to the hypocrite and self-righteous police? I am giving him a head start by giving him the opportunity to know in advance and not report him behind his back. Seriously though, like Hovis said, he'll be back next week. No one can truly abandon The Smiths or Morrissey outright because together they have set the standard by reinforcing the success of the litmus test. Solo's mere existence to this day proves it. Whether The Smiths or Morrissey are loved or hated, people still come...and so do the accolades and controversy. And they will still continue to come, good or bad.I think a lot of people feel that way, especially those who have been following this site for years, decades; but if you leave, the racist c***s win.

I need to disagree with you urgently. Can you please suspend your death throes.Thanks for the well-wishes everyone. With my dying breath, I'd like to reinforce the fact that t.A.T.u. are responsible for the only good Smiths cover. Goodnight and thank you.
Pity they tried to write her out of their history when they did the Give Up... rerelease and documentary.
Their tweet when she passed was also seemingly lacking in true empathy.
Left a sour taste with many esp Terry Christian
I’ll also accept the Supergrass rendition of “Some Girls” but that’s it.I need to disagree with you urgently. Can you please suspend your death throes.

really? an honor ?
Guess it depends on how he would define what an artist is to him.
Maybe at the time he was honored to have Bowie cover one of his songs.
But, youtubers? He may be more amused by it. And maybe thankful
when he comes across a cover that he actually likes, which I’m sure must be a rare thing.
He was quite disparaging about Natalie Merchant’s ‘go’. And that was actually quite good.I remember reading in a Morrissey interview that he felt flattered that artists were covering his songs, but impossible to find it back though. Anyway, as you may remember, Central once posted lots and lots of covers of Morrissey songs by other artists, so it is hard to imagine he's against them. Having an artist cover one of your songs, regardless whether it is done properly or poorly, is a sign that your song meant something or inspired someone.
