if there is a book deal i could do the artwork. i am graphic designer and i just love this! cheers!!
Surely there is a book deal to be had out of this.
Countless lists, countless analysis and billions of pashernate fans' quotes - surely Houdini deserves the copyright to all of this work - if ~Paul Wood can get a deal on the back of a selection of clippings then this, original, piece of research deserves to be printed.
Well done, and thanks, to Houdini.
This proves that democracy doesnt work.
You even didn't bother to vote.
I'm joking, Kewpie
Only three of the top 15 morrissey songs are on his "Greatest hits"
"Everyday is like Sunday" "Suedehead" and the "last of the famous international playboys" naturally but why is nobody loves us so high when there are plenty of other good songs from his best of to choose from.
Maybe "best of" and "greatest hits" are loose terms.
and why are so many Smiths songs like "Handsome Devil", "Sweet And Tender Hooligan", "Stretch Out And Wait", "What She Said", "Unloveable", "These Things Take Time" and "You've Got Everything Now" rated so high? theyre good songs, but these are the kind of songs that Morrissey&Marr could turn out in their sleep back then- hardly comparable to utter classic gems from the solo-era like "Interesting Drug", "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful", "Boxers", "Glamorous Glue", "Sing Your Life", "The Boy Racer", "Alma Matters", "Certain People I Know", "Ouija Board, Ouija Board" and "Our Frank" which all rank outside the top100..
Actually, I think all those Smiths songs are much better than those solo songs, especially stuff like "We Had It when Our Friends ...", "Boxers", "Certain People I Know", "Ouija Board" and "Our Frank", which range from average to downright dross.
most shocking entry in the top100:
"Friday Mourning"- this is not a very good song. so much melodrama amounting to nothing and easily the worst pun of Morrissey's career.

Can hardly disagree more - if you can't hear the quality difference between let's say Sweet and tender hooligan and The boy racer ...
