Not for me. Never really a fan of "slowed" down acoustic versions of songs. They always sound too desperately sincere, especially with the tacky swearing. Has a nice voice though.

This was the first album that was released after I started listening to Morrissey, so I was very excited, but the title track completely disappointed me, as did a number of the tracks. I loved Istanbul though, Staircase at the University, and The Bullfighter Dies. Never really listened to the...

You're spot on. This is the problem with "identifying" with things. I'd say it's not even just that their friends/family associate them, but that because they identify so strongly with him, I imagine they feel "tainted" themselves. I am pretty attached to Morrissey's music but I don't really...

7 seems about right. If you include his two unreleased albums, that's 14 solo albums (can't include California Son of course) and 4 smiths albums. The smiths is less than a quarter of his career output, and it gets just less than a quarter amount of representation on the list. I'd say it's...

I think he's into a gender movement that seems to have sadly fallen by the wayside in the modern debate, a movement which was about breaking down rigid stereotypes, categories and norms about what men and women should be. Rather than reinforcing stereotypes and creating a new set of boxes to...

To be honest, at this point I don't really take any of these "I love Morrissey, but he has terrible beliefs now, of course" lines seriously. It's like a hail mary for these people. Just a way of signalling: "I know he's problematic, so please don't attack me because his songs are just sooo...
