Gateways to geekery: Morrissey - The A.V. Club
by Josh Modell

Geek obsession: Morrissey

Why it’s daunting: To his fans, Steven Patrick Morrissey is a god, and for good reason. His output as frontman for The Smiths is damn near perfect, and that band has already been canonized, even though it’s only released four proper studio albums, all in the mid-’80s. Morrissey’s solo career is considerably harder to navigate for those who haven’t followed along. Think of it this way: He made records with The Smiths for about five years; he’s been making solo albums for 20. This episode of Geekery assumes that you’re already familiar with at least some of The Smiths’ catalog, which is a better place to start than most of Moz’s solo material.
