Any Moz fans here? I mean the kind of fan that has all the CDs. I just became one a month ago. Took me long enough. What's your fave Moz LP?

LOVE LOVE LOVE Mozza.

Favourite albums? As for the solo stuff, I really love You Are The Quarry, but to be honest, they're all fantastic (except Kill Uncle - his only dud). Loved his last album World Peace Is None Of Your Business (check out Art Hounds on the bonus disc, it's one of his all time best songs).

As for The Smiths, well, it's all fucking gold really. Paint A Vulgar Picture, Please Please Please (Let Me Get What I Want), Meat Is Murder, Reel Around The Fountain.... just those four songs alone are better than most artists entire back catalogue.

Yeah I have all this music to discover. It's great. So far I've liked everything I've heard. I can't believe I've slept on this all this time LOL.

Oh, and Life Is A Pigsty. That's definately one of his best tracks.

I'm also a fan of Morrissey as a person, and there's not many people I can say that about. I find myself agreeing with almost everything he says regarding the horrors of the meat industry, the royal family, the government. I love how he has deliberately alienated himself from the music industry and is so outspoken about real issues that matter. Popstars today are so neutral and aren't capable of an original thought between them. Mozza is a breath of fresh air amongst a sea of boring idiots.

I like almost everything from Viva Hate (1988) to You Are the Quarry (2004). I didn't like his last three albums, even if World Peace is None of Your Business (2014) is rather good but something is lacking imo.

One of my favourites Moz songs is a Bside Girl Least Likely To

and I've recently learned that it was very "inspired" from a girls band 's song : The Cookies ~ Only To Other People.

^^ Thoroughly recommend catching him live if he ever comes by your area. Mozza fans are a passionate bunch for sure.

Yes I have the excellent DVD "25 Live" he put out in 2013. I will definitely see him if he comes within driving distance.

I love him but profess to not having much. Have The Smith Greatest Vol 1 and two solo albums.

The Last of the Famous International Playboys

.

One of my favourite songs of all time!

saw his gig in leeds last year, he opened with 'the queen is dead'which is one of my favourites, the

song that got all the crowd singing was 'every day is like sunday'.when you hear him live you

realize what a terrific singer he is.even though he hasnt been in the best of health his voice still

sounded good.

Although a long-serving vegan and a strong advocate of the abolition of the abattoir, neither of these points was mentioned in the one hundred television reports that I witnessed yesterday as they covered the enchanted life and sad death of Prince.

The points were not mentioned because they are identified as expressions against e$tabli$hment interests, therefore we, mere galley slaves, aren't allowed to know.Prince has influenced the world more than is suspected, and somehow the life of his music is just beginning, and he would be thanked not only by humans but also animals for living his lyrical life as he did.

Humans, you see, are not the world.Meanwhile, on the same day that Prince melts away in physical form, London and England remain two very different countries, and in London the news media (under tyrannized instructions from Buckingham Palace) are informing the world that Her Royal Slyness is celebrating her 90th birthday, and we are assured that all of the United Kingdom is celebrating a monarch who has "served" (that is, served herself, not the people) for over 60 years.

There is no evidence of celebrations, and in fact there are hushed reports of national indifference. In this mental maze the marrow of the matter has been grasped by everyone: monarchy is the new anarchy. It is the face of white supremacy, social repression, tyranny, oppression, thought control, big stick control, minority rule, dictatorship, and, on the streets beyond SW1, unfairness. All that can be honestly celebrated on Elizabeth's 90th birthday is the reality that she is the end of the family line. What else could her point be?

Prince, who made something of his life as opposed to having fortune handed to him, is far more 'royal' than Elizabeth 2, and he will be mourned far more than she, for she could never make herself loveable, no matter how many paid and promoted non-stories flood the newspapers of the world. The laughing gulls of Buckingham Palace will never allow you to forget who wields the stick. And, of course, we know very well what gulls tend to do on the people below.Prince is the royal that people love, whereas Elizabeth 2 was thrust on the people who have never been asked whether or not they want her.

MORRISSEY 22 April 2016.
