That's a tough call. In the end, I chose The HMV/Parlophone Singles '88-'95.
I'm still not sure though... t does make a great introduction to Morrissey, I think at least.
World of Morrissey is kinda crap though IMHO... It's just way too scattered, you know?
Bona Drag is my favourite, it's closely in front of Louder Than Bombs...I just feel Bona Drag is more upbeat and an album I play a lot more when I'm on my own in any mood. Plus Gannon and Reilly play brilliantly on the album!
I voted for 'Bona Drag'. Beautiful album. If compilations are included, then I'd say that it's my favourite solo Morrissey album. 'Swords' should have been the 'Bona Drag' of this generation, but it seems that too many critics and fans couldn't get past the "just another compilation" mentality to let that happen. A bigger push (and a better album cover!) may have helped in this.
It's like when Holden was visiting the museum, waiting for his little sister, and he thought maybe something at the museum had changed since he'd seen it last, and loved it as a child, but no, it was he who had changed.
