i can never understand the whole morrissey = depressing thing. maybe one or two songs, but 90% of the time he's funny as fuck. And The Smiths are still one of my favourite bands ever, and all the dissing from all the Pink Floyd and Shellac fans in the world won't change that fact.

Quite probably. Even when he's singing about wanting to kill himself he makes it sound like what he really wants is just an afternoon nap.

Smiths era Morrissey was in a league of his own. Solo Morrissey is still a great front man, but one in desperate need of a decent band. He's still a funny fucker though that can, on occasions, put out a real corker like First of the Gang to Die.
And if you don't believe me ask a crip, homes. |

I've always loved his whole attitude towards popular culture which has always struck me as being genuinely impassioned without ever falling into the usual 'classic album' bollocks. As a fifteen year old Morrissey was probably the closest thing I had to pop icon. I'm certainly not ashamed to say that I probably got into more bands, books, films, etc, through him than i did through any other person in pop. The only person from that era who I could possibly mention in the same breath would be Robert Forster.

Moz is witty, he is. he can write a novel for one tune. the Smiths were one of the best bands ever, IMO.

I like Morrissey. He can be pretty amusing, though he was better when he was in The Smiths.
