One of my very favorites is "Nobody Loves Us."<BR/><BR/>"Vauxhall and I" is incredibly strong.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074004681516756703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147219.post-1138842525991439572006-02-01T19:08:00.000-06:002006-02-01T19:08:00.000-06:00There's stuff on Your Arsenal and You Are The Quar...There's stuff on Your Arsenal and You Are The Quarry that is as good, or better, than anything he ever did with the Smiths.<BR/><BR/>Of course, he's also released some duds as well.

The Smiths definitely had an edge that Morrissey's solo work lacks. Then again, Morrissey's best stuff has a maturity The Smiths lacked.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074004681516756703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147219.post-1138802812939529812006-02-01T08:06:00.000-06:002006-02-01T08:06:00.000-06:00Do you not find that most Morrissey albums leave y...Do you not find that most Morrissey albums leave you with a feeling of "Yes, very nice, but it's not The Smiths, is it now?" In fact, of his solo stuff, only 'Everyday Is Like Sunday' has ever given me the giddy lurch that I felt when I first heard 'Reel Around The Fountain' and 'I Want The One I Can't Have' and 'Bigmouth Strikes Again'?<BR/><BR/>Or is it just me being an old fart stuck in the days when I had enough hair to construct a quiff?Tim Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681067872556519250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147219.post-1138774530275054312006-02-01T00:15:00.000-06:002006-02-01T00:15:00.000-06:00I also need to catch up on my Franz Ferdinand...I ...I also need to catch up on my Franz Ferdinand...<BR/><BR/>I had a scary moment this evening when I thought my CD changer has eaten Portishead's "Dummy."
