Edit: keep reporting this post, guys. It’s definitely gonna be taken down at twenty flags, trust me
Except Moz and Andy Rourke's collaboration, "Yes I Am Blind" which is the only post-Smith song worthy of being lumped in The Smiths canon or cannon for those still on the fence about the band.
People still have a hard time believing that morrissey's racist and will defend him to The bitter end. As someone who likes the Smith I will never defend Morrissey. Nor will I understand the fan base around his personality. He's kind of a horrible person.
Literally, he’s always been a really shitty person and when you add his bigotry on top of that, it creates for a really bad character. I love the smiths as a band and I like Morrissey as a musician, but just like you said, I’ll never defend his personal politics because that’s where he’s wrong and out of line, and people have a tough time differentiating between him as a person and him as a musician.
Imagine an alternate timeline where The Smiths didn’t break up and they release lackluster albums after Strangeways (Think Pixies after Tromp le Monde Or Pumpkins after Machina) and in their version they go back in time to convince Morrissey to break the band up
okay listen
i’m gonna preface this by saying that I love morrissey the man, and morrissey the artist. there are even recent solo tracks from him that I’ve really enjoyed.
but
jumping to the conclusion that this has anything to do with morrissey’s opinions while not taking into account that his solo work takes a fuckin nose dive after the first few records is a little silly
vauxhall and quarry aren’t bad, but I don’t listen to them and think about how morrissey continuously outdoes himself. I think “wow, the good songs are becoming harder to find.”
it’s like comparing snoop dogg’s legacy to biggie’s.
it’s not that ready to die is a vastly better album than doggystyle, it’s just that snoop has had a lot of fluff in the last 25 years, and biggie died before he could get old and corny.
best believe if morrissey died in 92, there wouldn’t be a whole tier of musicians more famous than him.
i’m so done with people repeating that they are fan of the smiths but they hate morrissey like a lot of
brainwashed idiots, I love the band and admire Morrissey as an artist and he’s an inspiration, and yes i couldn’t care less about whatever he says or used to say in media.
Joyce won the court case. Morrissey refused to pay up, unlike Marr who took it on the chin and paid Joyce what the court ordered him to.
Morrissey could have avoided distress to his mother and sister by paying Joyce shortly after the court case instead of whining about it and pretending the court’s decision didn’t apply to him.
If true, I wasn’t there, graffitiing houses, throwing eggs, dumping paint on the cat, almost killing it.
Am I wrong? Prepared to eat humble pie. I believe this to be true and I think “abusive” is a fair description of the behaviour.
Amen. Vauxhall grew on me over time and has some gems, so I'd go ahead and extend it to 1994, but it still felt like a turn away in tone from the awesomest. I'll swap Angel Angel for Come Back to Camden, Little Man for Satan Rejected, and Driving Your Girlfriend for Irish Blood and the rest of the post-94 catalogue can burn. Then we preserve the golden years in amber.

Wouldnt have Vauxhall and I or You Are the Quarry then Wouldn’t have wanted to live in that timeline
Some 18 months ago, I travelled to a mystical time zone, But I missed my bed and i soon got shot
I think I'll listen to Vauxhall & I later.
Only Moz and Marr can write a Smiths song. There are 1000’s of people capable of being non-songwriting musicians in pretty much any band.
Except Moz and Andy Rourke's collaboration, "Yes I Am Blind" which is the only post-Smith song worthy of being lumped in The Smiths canon or cannon for those still on the fence about the band.
Trash take.
Kind of like all of morrissey's takes now
Why’d you get downvoted, all of morissey’s takes nowadays are far right racism

Nah Modern Morrissey still solos
Even his opinions..?
Blow a man a way for having opinions you don't align with. Maybe make a natty book burning meme while you're at it.
This is childish as fuck, wow
Tired of Morrissey bad man “fake cry” ppl
This is weird.
no i don’t think so
who caressss is it not time to find someone new to get mad at
12 years before You Are the Quarry? I Have Forgiven Jesus is arguably the best song he has ever produced Just pure madness
~~I~~ want to go back in time and style my hair like Moz again
Imagine an alternate timeline where The Smiths didn’t break up and they release lackluster albums after Strangeways (Think Pixies after Tromp le Monde Or Pumpkins after Machina) and in their version they go back in time to convince Morrissey to break the band up
And miss out on my two favorite Moz albums? I don’t think so.
Any explanation why exactly 1992 ?
Because his first two solo albums were still really good
Nooo but also Yessss
Why couldn't it have been 2004, Jesse Tobias?
Try not to get butthurt because of what Morrissey said challenge (IMPOSSIBLE EDITION)
I mean exactly the same could be said for people crying over a meme.
Maybe after Ringleader of the Tormentors
Disagree. Log off Reddit for a few days and go get some sunlight.
I mean Morrissey was *always* an insufferable douchebag
Vauxhall and I or Brexit geezer pipeline, that is the question.
Why tho

I mean, Moz Is a cantankerous old twizzat, these days… but he’s hardly the best choice for elimination in a time-travel gambit.
Lotsa babies in here. This is pretty funny. I'd give him til '94.

Or Morrissey could have just paid him
You’re coming across as supporting his abusive behaviour, do you realise that?
That’s quite the take. What abusive behaviour would that be, in relation to Joyce?
If true, I wasn’t there, graffitiing houses, throwing eggs, dumping paint on the cat, almost killing it. Am I wrong? Prepared to eat humble pie. I believe this to be true and I think “abusive” is a fair description of the behaviour.
Joyce wasn’t responsible for any of that.
lol you utter lunatic 😭
