Morrissey: Best/Worst; Over/Under

[ordinaryboy86]

I choose what I say and do not say, thank you very much.
And no, YOU are in a very small group of hypocritical ex-fans, only outweighed by KnobSkinny in brainlessness and abusive behaviour.

Best: Vauxhall and I. The best opener and closer to any album ever. With lush gorgeous songs sandwiched in between.

Worst: Kill Uncle. There's some lovely songs on here, but there's also some really dreadful material which weighs it down.

Overrated: You Are The Quarry. We agree on this. Too much filler, with an awful opener.

Underrated: Years Of Refusal. Basically Your Arsenal part 2. His best album since Vauxhall and I.

I struggled choosing between Your Arsenal and Vauxhall and I as his best, really it just depends on the day. I agree Speedway is his best closer ever and levels me every time

 

[GodEmperorMorrissey]

Always a good idea. Maybe @ordinaryboy86 and @Surface always care to contribute, as they do seem to like (some of) Morrissey's music too

Best: Always either Viva Hate or Vauxhall for me. But in fact is really has to be Bona Drag
Worst: Years of Refusal. 4-5 great songs, but the rest I don't really care for.

Overrated: Ringleader, as a follow-up to the great Quarry it just didn't do much for me at the time, and still doesn't. Although Pigsty is monumental.
Underrated: Kill Uncle of course. Cannot believe nobody has mentioned it yet. Really like the feel of this album, it wanted to be Morrissey's Transformer and although it didn't quite match that I'll always have a soft spot for it. A really good album, and I hope Moz will tour a song or two from it again, someday.

I do love Kill Uncle a lot more than many seem to think it is deserving of

The peaks - Your Arsenal*, Vauxhall and I

Almost there - Southpaw Grammar *

Half way there - Viva Hate*, Years of Refusal, You Are the Quarry, California Son

Closer to the bottom, far from half-way - Kill Uncle*, Maladjusted*

The bottom - Ringleader of the Tormentors, World Peace is Everyone's Affair

The nadir - Low in High School

* In their original incarnations, not the resequenced expanded versions.

 

[Lustman]

Best: Viva hate, the only solo album at the same level than the smiths ones.

Worst: Ringleader, 2 good songs on it. Really bad and ridiculous cover.

Overrated: Ringleader of course.
Most of the solo albums.

Underrated: the great years of refusal. Speed music, some great lyrics. Strange and Always borderline but it works.
Most of the solo albums.

 

[Trill]

Best: Bona Drag

Worst: Low In High School, California Son, World Peace Is None Of Your Business, Years of Refusal, You Are The Quarry.

Overrated: You Are The Quarry is absolutely bloody awful.

Underrated: The b-sides off Suedehead. Only underrated by him, of course.

Underrated: The b-sides off Suedehead. Only underrated by him, of course.

He underrates them so much that he still performs Hairdresser on Fire.

He underrates them so much that he still performs Hairdresser on Fire.

To be fair, that is overrated. The other two songs are excellent though.
