Excellent, thanks.

Thanks very much for the link.
They could've asked 30 greatest songs of Morrissey.
No "paint a vulgar picture" in this list, which i'd have in my top 5 any day of the week. Granted its hard to compile a list like this but "Well I wonder" should deffo be in there, reel around should be higher, as should "I know it's over" which would be in my top 3. No "rusholme ruffians" either, good to see "this night has opened my eyes" deservedly in the top 10. "Girl Afraid" should be there too. As for morrissey not having 30 great solo songs, I could do a list in ten minutes of 30 belters from moz, even his b-sides are class, from "sister I'm a poet" "I know very well.." "I'd love to", songs like "michaels bones" are also great IMO, I agree they're not mainstream and the general public wont have heard half of them but doesn't mean they arnt great.
Apparently, Russell Brand hasn't heard the full lyric of There Is A Light...
