Best of Comeback Morrissey

[YouthAgainstMorrissey]

Hello all, I'm new here.

I've been listening to Morrissey for a few years, only his old stuff really. I keep thinking I've gotten through all the stuff he's recorded until I run into a gem B-side like "Oh well I'll never learn" or "Now I am a was".

Anyway, like I said, I haven't really been following current Morrissey. I've dabbled in some of the singles and have been a little disappointed. I was wondering what songs you all would recommend to get into late-era Morrissey. Thanks!

 

[CrystalGeezer]

I'm pretty sure i burned a hole in my Swords CD playing this. You should purchase that album, actually.

 

[YouthAgainstMorrissey]

Wow, Ganglord is a knockout!

My personal favorite.

And if we aren't talking b-sides, this:

 

[King Leer]

Ryan beat me to it on Christian Dior - a fantastic song.
Here's another great b-side given criminally little attention (though it did get a second life on Swords).

Edit: Whoops, Viva Hate! beat me to My Dearest Love.

Well, this whole thread is a great sampler of how great Morrissey can still be despite the never ending complaints....

 

[Mozmanc]

very good.

I think his best two albums are, undoubtedly, You Are the Quarry and Years of Refusal. Some of my favourite songs, not necessarily from those albums, are:

Something Is Squeezing My Skull
Irish Blood, English Heart
The World Is Full of Crashing Bores
Shame Is the Name
All You Need Is Me
Human Being
Let Me Kiss You
I'm Okay By Myself
Mama Lay Softly on the Riverbed
The Slum Mums
When Last I Spoke to Carol
That's How People Grow Up
First of the Gang to Die
Black-Eyed Susan
Nobody Loves Us
Jack the Ripper
Have-A-Go Merchant

To name only a miniscule amount.

"Because of my poor education"..

 

[Orson Swells]

My favourites would probably be:

The Never-Played Symphonies
Irish Blood, English Heart
Come Back To Camden
I Have Forgiven Jesus
First of the Gang To Die
I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now
Life Is A Pigsty
Sweetie-Pie (Mikey Farrell remake)
My Dearest Love
Something Is Squeezing My Skull
I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris
When Last I Spoke To Carol
It's Not Your Birthday Anymore
I'm OK By Myself
Action Is My Middle-Name

And, although not yet properly recorded:

Scandinavia
Art-Hounds

 

[Road Hog]

best iof 2004 + moz

something is squeezing my skull
mama lay softly
dear god please help me
my life is a succession
when last i spoke to carol
first of the gang
let me kiss you
all the lay dykes
you have killed me
paris
hard to walk tall
not your birthday
good in your time
irish blood
you know i couldn't last
don't make fun of daddys voice

Shame is the Name
Human Being
That's How People Grow Up
Black-Eyed Susan
Nobody Loves Us
Jack the Ripper
Have-A-Go Merchant
All You Need is Me

To name only a few.

and yet you wrote an email to someone you thought to be Morrissey claiming he was a sad shadow of his former self and had been easily surpassed by DD.

Suddenly Years of Refusal is a 'masterpiece' again?

I think you need to get you medications stabilized.

 

[Maurice E]

The 10 best 21st century Moz songs are:
1. When last I spoke to Carol
2. Christian Dior
3. The never laid (that's the never played) symphonies
4. First of the gang to die
5. I'll never be anybody's hero
6. It's not your birthday anymore
7. Shame is the name
8. It's hard to walk tall (when you're small)
9. I'm throwing my arms around Paris
10. Friday mourning

 

[Fulham Road Lights]

I've had Mexico in my head for days, don't think it's been mentioned yet.
