Frank Zappa is #1 for music
Morrissey #1 for lyrics with Leonard Cohen close behind. (Cohen is a better writer with more meaningful words, but Morrissey is a better songwriter.
No one can compare with Zappa, it is far beyond anything anyone has done. Even lyrically he is amazing. Even his...

That was kind of the question of the thread.
Personally, I consider Morrissey a singer; I want to hear him sing. I don't expect him to make mindblowing decade-defining music. I listen to Morrissey because I love music and how it makes me feel; his voice lifts the soul.
In other words, I...
If Morrissey were to make a studio LP of reimagined Smiths songs, what would you want the tracklist to look like? Would you ever want that to happen? Especially considering that he might butcher our favourites.
Personally, I love the sound of his voice currently and wouldn't hate such an...
So I told my boyfriend all about this post (and how orher Morrissey fans are idiots) and seconds in he told me (because his family is Scottish/British) that all men call their women 'fatty'. Is this true?
I still think i'm right though.
Just because Morrissey makes a comment in an interview...
That may explain a reason for writing it, but that doesn't say what it is about.
Otherwise you could say "Meat is Murder" is not about the morality of carnivores, but rather about one of his friends with the nickname T-Bone (which may be true, but in the context of a pop song it only applies...
I am not privileged enough to comment on old threads, so I had to make my own.
Obviously "You're the One For Me, Fatty" is about an over-weight person.

I wonder if another single might appear after Chain Gang, perhaps Lover-to-Be, with Blue Dreamers and By the Time as b-sides.
I don't want to wait 10 years for a reissue with bonus tracks, but I guess if he's smart then he will always save tracks for future release.
Thrilled in any case.
