I don't agree with the first part but you did make me laughThe top 50 Morrissey songs were all written by Johnny Marr.
Without him, he’d still be writing shitty letters to the editor and offering daft opinions on things beyond his scope.
...oh wait a minute. Never mind.
I completely agree. Even allowing for subjective tastes, some of these choices make no sense whatsoever.it's as if they settled on Sunday & Suedehead as toppers, then, just randomly generated the other 48
This is definitely an odd list to me but it's rather well done and not "obvious"...if that could exist in a Morrissey top 50...lol.A review of the allegedly 50 best Morrissey songs by Annie Zaleski and Jason Anderson

Can we replace Bullfighter with At Amber and Wide to Receive with Swallow On My Neck? I am very happy that you recognize #40. That song would absolutely kick ass live!!! Can you imagine if he closed his concerts with that one...pandemonium.I have far too much time on my hands. I'm sure I'm forgetting something obvious, but I don't care to scan my list all that closely

Really?
You know this was a quick assignment.
"No problem. I'll have done by morning."
"Wait, is her name spelled with on or two r's?"
And how the heck did Boy Racer get top ten status??? And although I like it, I don't get the extreme love of Suedehead on this list and with Morrissey fans in general.
But hey it's all a matter of opinion
Swallow On My Neck is down at #45. I desperately wish he'd play it live again. My love of Bullfighter is almost embarrassing at this point, but I do think it's a wonderful song. Stronger than At Amber, Do Your Best and Don't Worry, and some others that just missed the cut.Can we replace Bullfighter with At Amber and Wide to Receive with Swallow On My Neck?

Not to criticize but to illustrate, as Thewlis has, that his catalogue is not only huge but rich.
There are few in your list I've never heard of so the catalogue, for me atleast, continues to grow.

Ah okay. Solid list. I would buy that compilation.Swallow On My Neck is down at #45. I desperately wish he'd play it live again. My love of Bullfighter is almost embarrassing at this point, but I do think it's a wonderful song. Stronger than At Amber, Do Your Best and Don't Worry, and some others that just missed the cut.
