Can anybody recommend some cd's?

Do you like The Smiths too?

I'd say start with "Louder Than Bombs", "The Queen is Dead", "Viva Hate" and "Your Arsenal".

If Morrissey says not to eat meat, then I’m going to eat meat; that’s how much I hate Morrissey.

I LOVE that picture.

Bona Drag is a nice place to start - lots of great early Morrissey singles.

Play Everyday Is Like Sunday and just after My Love Life, some of his best under rated songs imo( they were b-side) : Jack The Ripper ( terrific live), Girl Least Likely To, and I'm sure that i'm not alone to think that Driving Your Girlfriend Home is a masterpiece.. too many songs to mention.. I've heard a live version of Now My Heart Is Full from the mid 90s that is wonderful, the guy might be a asshole and an hypocrite sometimes, like a diminutive funk star that we know, but his voice!

I just read in a Spanish newspaper that our Moz is
seriously thinking about representing England at this
year´s Eurovision song contest!!

I've just seen that on Yahoo Surely not!

One of my favourite Smiths songs is Please Please Please - short and sweet.

you have a delicious avatar!

If you only buy single songs, start with

suedehead
everyday is like sunday
hairdresser on fire
last of the famous international playboys
the national front disco
tomorrow
jack the ripper (live version from 'Beethoven was deaf')
billy budd
the more you ignore me, the closer i get
why don´t you find out for yourself
southpaw
alma matters
irish blood, english heart
first of the gang to die
let me kiss you
you have killed me
the youngest was the most loved

that should give you a good impression of mozzers solo-work

If you want to buy whole albums, go with bona drag, your arsenal, vauxhall & i and you are the quarry

Used to not understand the big deal about Moz and the Smiths.
Frickin' depressing-ass whining lyrics about not being able to hook up with some dude and how working class ppl are truly snobbish.

Then, when I turned 28, I "got it". It's brilliant stuff. Right now I'm loving "I'll never be anybody's hero".

I caught his live DVD on VH1 a year or so back - 'Who Put the M in Manchester'

I'm no more than a casual fan but I must say I enjoyed it immensely
