Now My Heart is Full
Speedway
Maladjusted
Come Back to Camden
Never Played Symphonies (why this got buried on a b-side I will never understand)
Israel
I would almost put Hurling Days on there but it still feels too new to qualify
The more I hear it, the more I like it. I considered this to be on the cusp of 'masterpiece' category.Oh, I also like The Secret Of Music
JTR definitely.I'd add:
Jack the Ripper
Nobody Loves Us
Lyrically, Maladjusted is a high watermark. The flowing phraseology is something that I think only Morrissey at his peak can do. He brings all the melody to the song; it truly is a masterpiece.
I like it a lot, but don't feel I can view it objectively yet, in the context of everything else. The test for me will be how I feel about it in a couple of years.I think Hurling would fit 'masterpiece', but too young to be 'classic'.
I think we'd need a decision quicker than that Pep...this site might not exist in 2 yrs time.I like it a lot, but don't feel I can view it objectively yet, in the context of everything else. The test for me will be how I feel about it in a couple of years.
Yep, Pigsty was my very first thought when I opened this thread. True masterpiece.Pigsty is the one, isn't it?
As time passes, it's stock rises. I feel like it could become the one song that defines his career. From The Smiths and throughout the solo years, it distills his entire outlook/worldview. His oeuvre, if you will.
It was really interesting to hear Alain talk about it on Julie Hamill's podcast, he didn't feel that comfortable discussing it, almost as if he doesn't want to break the spell. That, or the crushing NDA that may be coming his way if he did!![]()
No.The whole of Vauxhall and I
Vauxhall isn’t a masterpiece but “Life is a Pigsty” is, huh. A song that takes 7 1/2 minutes to basically say nothing.
