The Best Of Morrissey's "10 Album's Of Which I Am Most Proud"

YA or BD.

Bona Drag or Louder Than Bombs for me.

How many albums does the guy have? 15?

Louder Than Bombs, duh.

^

Album's

lol at Morrissey conspicuously passing over the most classic titles in The Smiths' catalog.

Strangeways, for me.

He, Marr, and the other Smiths only agree now on Strangeways... being the best Smiths record.

Weird ( I also love Strangeways, but I know I'm in the minority)

Voted Southpaw, I've always loved that one

i came late to smiths fandom and was legit surprised to learn people don't like strangeways. it's a good record! wtf

anyway, top notch trolling itl

yeah i dont get strangeways hate either, voted for that

I'll go with my emotional connection; Vauxhall & I.

Strangeways has a few good joints on it but it's easily the worst Smiths album.

and why would you vote for Strangeways when you could vote for Louder Than Bombs and vote for:

"Is It Really So Strange?" (John Peel session, 12/2/86) – 3:04 [B-side of "Sheila Take a Bow"] *

Man I completely forgot about "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby." That song rules.

well i wouldn't vote for strangeways over bombs but i don't think it's such a glaring step down in quality from the rest either

1. "A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours" 3:00
2. "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish" 3:47
3. "Death of a Disco Dancer" 5:26
4. "Girlfriend in a Coma" 2:03
5. "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" 3:32
6. "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" 5:03
7. "Unhappy Birthday" 2:46
8. "Paint a Vulgar Picture" 5:35
9. "Death at One's Elbow" 2:01
10. "I Won't Share You" 2:48

all good songs! the only one i can't think of in my head is track 9.

i didnt vote for louder than bombs because it seems like cheating

There is that, yes. But it's the one Smiths album that has spent time getting repeat plays in the car.

Oh man those are absolutely NOT all good songs, on fact some of them are realy fucking awful and unforgivable

If you are backing "Unhappy Birthday" and you are older than 15, it is time to ask yourselves some difficult, uncomfortable questions

there are at least three bad songs on SHWC.

gee don't be coy now

Death at One's Elbow
Unhappy Birthday
Last Night I Dreamt...

"A Rush and a Push" is a sound looking for a song.

HOWEVER...

"I Started Something..." is all-time great. What a fun karaoke number.

"Girlfriend In A Coma" is terrible, too

not to mention simply a tragic situation to find oneself in, simply awful really.

and serious!

Just to be unambiguous, it is also a fucking terrible song and should be fuckin destroyed

Are you sure you don't like "Girlfriend In A Coma"? Some mixed messages coming across.

'Paint a Vulgar Picture' frustrates me b/c on the one hand it's so fun to sing along to, but then the lyrics... say nothing to my about my life

'Bona Drag' out of these..from 'Strangeways'. He's trying to big up some of his works that need it here a bit perhaps.

Years of Refusal

haha big trollin'

'Louder Than Bombs' has more bang for your Mozzer-approved buck, I guess.

How many albums does the guy have? 15?

Unless you include compilations/best ofs, in which case it's about 70.

voting LTB but yer arsenal was a bit of alright
