taking sides: marc almond v. morrissey

Anyway, interesting comparison points to draw, actually -- Moz is the more well-known icon, obviously, but Marc's listening range is way the hell broader than Stephen M.'s and it shows in his music, often quite well. I think of it this way -- ten years from now Marc'll be doing yet another unexpected twist of an record and Morrissey will release Yet Another Morrissey album.

how do you know?

His mixCD started with the Sundown Playboys' "Saturday Night Special", a right good Cajun tune.

Gee, I dunno M., maybe the fact that Morrissey has spent a quarter of a century publicly bemoaning the state of pop music that isn't trying to by like him and wishing it was an eternal 1950s through early 1970s while Marc has shown he not only listens to most everything Morrissey's ever named checked but everything else from Coil aggro noise experimentation to Russian gypsy songs to god knows how many DJs to etc. etc. etc.
