damn, the rates of this erea are the lowest , with that in mind, Morrissey
started his first real tour which was his best/energetic and a massive succes, that
it had to be stopped, I'm really puzzled...I guess the old fans disapeared
or didn't go with the tech flow [pc], and the major of the people who
come here are Maladjusted+....between 20 and 30 year old

I wish they could've expierence a 1991 date, and no, a youtube clip doesn't come near being at one

:tears:

I know what you mean and it would explain the ratings but there is another element, perhaps, too.

About the 'old fans disappearing', there is some truth in that. I 'went away' and came back, if you like.

I saw Moz in Blackburn in 91 and, yes, it was a great show. I lost some faith with the 95-97 material but was re-energised by the Quarry album.

I still think that there are lots of 'old timers' on here but it's also great to see new + younger fans posting too. (I notice that there is now a thread on the ages of Moz fans so I'll take a look at that soon.)

I'm surprised "Boxers" doesn't seem to be up there.

It just missed the Top 100, coming in at number 107 of 234 songs.

It came top 5 of 1995 though, beating most of Southpaw Grammar, bar one.

Are these the albums we would have prefered Moz to put out? If you take the most popular 10/12 tracks from the last few albums, you can almost see the records perhaps - popularity-wise at least - Morrissey could/should have put out. Bizarre as the track-listings are, they seem to work in an unusual way... I particularly like the new Southpaw!

Albums are not just a collection of songs though I realise more and more people, especially among the young ones, never listen to an album from the first to the last track
