I'm guessing either Micahel Stipe/R.E.M. or Paul Westerberg/Replacements.

I definitely don't think anyone even comes close; in America or the world. Morrissey is definitely quite unique, for better or worse. Interesting choice with Replacements though. Chuck Kloster would agree, but he sucks
I hate to think of it, but I feel like someone like Elliot Smith has a somewhat cult following, although I don't like him at all. A lot of people seem to throw themselves emotionally at the whim of his music similar to moz fans. I remember when he killed himself someone I knew became reclusive in their house for a few days weeping. I would probably do the same in morrisseys case, but I'm a baby
Don't say the world if you don't know the music and even more the lyrics of all bands in the world. In Germany there are two bands who have made music since around 1982 whose lyrics are very similar to those of Morrissey in the way that they are socially observant and pin down social matters. Both bands have a massive following and both bands are little known of in the English speaking world. I am sure the French can also mention at least one artist, who is little known outside France, but well known in France for similar reasons.

So pray give us the names of said bands...
His name was Elvis Presley.
Yep, esp if Moz starts wearing rhinestones and playing Vegas
Alive...hmm, could he be compared to Chris Isaak? Chris is a lot more flashy but a rockabilly crooner, so somewhat similar, yeah? I don't know enough about his music but I like his style.
A bit look-alike-ish too (pomps get me lightheaded )
As for the Chris Isaak thing, I am prone to hating this comparison b/c my father still insists they are the same person living 2 different lives with 2 different music careers My dad is on his own planet though.
I'd say Springsteen, in that Springsteen is known for singing about being a hard working American and talks alot about American themes, just like Morrissey sings alot about "Britishy" things.
that make sense? i couldve worded that better.
I like the term Britishy. Its all good. It like "samey"; it's not really a work but if used enough, people would think it was an actual word.

I shouldve said that Springsteen was "Americany"
I'd agree. We don't call him The Boss for nothin'. He's the epitome of Americana. Baseball, apple pie and Springsteen.
and he had/s a nice butt
I absolutely abhor Bruce Springsteen and everything that he stands for. Him and John Mellancamp =
Sorry Coz
