You will own nothing and you will be happy...
In the end we are all here as lovers of music and the singing voice...
We are not talking just Smiths and Morrissey here. If you had to whittle it down to your top 20 - what would you say are your 20 favourite albums of all time? Any musical genre. Any decade. These are the 20 albums you would save if your collection was on fire. It's harder than you think...
Here is mine, although forever changing, and not ranked in any order of preference:
The Velvet Underground and Nico, The Velvet Underground and Nico
Radiohead, Ok Computer
The Smiths, The Queen is Dead
Kate Bush, The Hounds of Love
Morrissey, California Son
Arcade Fire, Funeral
Iggy Pop, Lust for Life
David Bowie, Hunky Dory
Lou Reed, Berlin
Pixies, Doolittle
The Sex Pistols, Never Mind the Bollocks
The Stone Roses, The Stone Roses
The Smiths, The Smiths
Morrissey, Viva Hate
New York Dolls, New York Dolls
The Byrds, Mr Tambourine Man
Ponto de Equilíbrio, Dia Após Dia Lutando
Sonic Youth, Daydream Nation
Suede, Coming Up
Sly and the Family Stone, Stand!
Almost in the top 20 but had to be ruthless: Joni Mitchell, Soft Cell, The Stooges, The Cramps, Kraftwerk, Funkadelic, Edson Gomes, Little Richard, Elvis. More David Bowie. And more Smiths and Morrissey, of course!
