I love Morrissey's solo stuff equally with the smiths. I see it as a continuum. While I love the smiths I really have never seen anything all that outstanding about Johnny marr's playing or his arrangents. They are wonderful but not something that matches musically what Morrissey brings lyrically. without the Moz and his vocal stylings and his lyrics, the smiths would have been just another jangle pop rock band out of manchester.
people do not understand sometimes that on the surface morrissey's lyrics are selfpity but below that he is actually denigrating the very people who feel that self pity, including himself and US. I love that.
