Marc's listening range is way the hell broader than Stephen M.'s

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.

'by like him' = 'BE like him,' etc.

Hmm. Marc Almond covered Hendrix and the Supremes, collaborated with Gene Pitney, recorded at least one fine synth-pop LP and wrote "Sex Dwarf", while Morrisey didn't. It ain't even close.

Marc Almond, of course.

Yes yes yes, but the question was about Mozzer's listening, rather than his output. By all accounts (granted, his own), his ipod has stuff you 'wouldn't necessarily associate' as being his thing.

I'll believe it when I see it! (And since I never will, I will be cruel and assume the worst.)

I don't know about their listenings, but surely Morrissey will never released an album so outrageously wrong in the best way possible like "torment and toreros".
