is making Morrissey look; he has never been in the same league as Bowie or McCartney.
league?
In regards to popularity, one can also say that Morrissey is not in the same ‘league’ as a Lady GaGa or whoever is the modern day equivalent, though, where ‘stars’ like these will not stand the test of time, artists like Morrissey, McCartney and Bowie will.
Morrissey has never achieved the level of enormous mainstream success that Paul McCartney / David Bowie / Mick Jagger etc have, that's just the truth. And yes, of course his legacy will last long after most of today's pop stars have faded but that wasn't my point.league?

The Lady GaGa camp is only concerned with ... who let the dogs out..league?

The Smiths are more popular in death than they ever were in life, the same thing will likely happen to Morrissey.Morrissey has never achieved the level of enormous mainstream success that Paul McCartney / David Bowie / Mick Jagger etc have, that's just the truth.

Untrue... The Smiths were huge when they were together.. Fact.The Smiths are more popular in death than they ever were in life, the same thing will likely happen to Morrissey.
I thought the Moz photo was genuine (with the record Photoshopped in) until I saw this. Now I'm just cringing at how daft Sam is making Morrissey look; he has never been in the same league as Bowie or McCartney.
Original photo?
Yes, but both things are true. The Smiths were huge when they were together, and also The Smiths are more popular than they were when they existed. So it's a win-win and everybody's happy.Untrue... The Smiths were huge when they were together.. Fact.
I loved those records. But I love Dog Chain more.I take it you haven’t heard most of WPINOYB and/or LIHS.

Unlike every other artists you’ve touched on, Morrissey has never written a song in his life.Yes, but they were lucky enough to come from a different time 60’s-70’s that enabled them to leave a larger footprint on pop culture, not to say that they weren’t talented, but timing and place is everything, almost.
You said it wasn’t your point. I’m not being argumentative when I ask then what was your point?
I mean, I and others could take your initial comment as saying that Morrissey is lesser an artist and not as important
as the other artists you mentioned simply because he wasn’t able to write and release a song like Yesterday in the 60’s or like Bowie, write and release a song like Let’s Dance in the 80’s. Morrissey has done pretty good in his time, taking into consideration his unique vision, and so he could never really fall under the category of mainstream, and even to his own chagrin will most likely always be labeled ‘alternative’.
Morrissey is in a league all of his own.
Incomparable.
When you talk about standing the test of time, what's your interpretation of that?
