rebel_conservative said:-Belle & Sebastian (3rd best band ever after the Smiths and Morrissey solo)
theFijian said:Did you see Morrissey when he was touring last year? I caught him playing in Edinburgh, I enjoyed it but I expected him to be a bit more flamboyant than he was. That said, I thought You are the Quarry was average at best.
rebel_conservative said:yeah! I saw him at Move and at Leeds! it was great that he was doing some Smiths songs too. he was OUTSTANDING at Move! especially in between songs. he grew up around Salford, and Move is at Old Trafford (Lancs cricket ground, stones through from the scum's ground)
I love Don't Make Fun of Daddy's Voice!
you are the quarry was a great album, not one of his best, but then the standards is so high!
philN said:Whew. So I'm not crazy.
philn said:Last year everyone was raving about You Are The Quarry and I really didn't like it that much. In fact, I thought parts of it were outright boring.
theFijian said:Hmm...I don't dislike his solo stuff, but compared to the Smiths it's absolutely no contest, they were greater than the sum of their parts.
rebel_conservative said:I assume by "their parts" you mean Moz and Marr and are not including Andy Rourke or Mike "Northern leech" Joyce?
rebel_conservative said:-Razorlight (good first album, but I won't be buying anything by them in the future re: Live8)
rebel_conservative said:they were glorified session musicians
theFijian said:The Smiths were superior to the solo Morrissey, their respective legacies bear that out.
WitchBaby said:Wait, why? Just because Borrell doesn't have any extra money to fork over?
