According to this month's Q Magazine, which features a thumbnail shot of Morrissey on the cover (circa 1984, complete with flowers in the foreground), Morrissey comes in at number 6 in this poll. Ahead of him are: Paul Heaton (The Beautiful South), Brian May, Dido, Sir Cliff Richard and Lou Reed.

Seems like the silly season isn't yet over.

As fas as I am concerned, Brian May is royalty, Dido is HOT, and Morrissey could possibly have more dignity and grace than any other artist/singer/etc. out there today.

      Morrissey IS a sweet, sweet boy, not pathetic at all, with all his suicide wonderings and flowery gigs. But he should get some ass, though. Honestley. //The Wild Swan

                                    This makes me really angry as I strongly believe that Moz is not at all pathetic. He is a powerful, controversial artist. Calling an album Meat is Murder, is that pathetic? He is never afraid to give his real opinion in interviews unlike most of the boring say-nothing indie stars today. Morrissey is original and truly eccentric, pathetic is not a word I would use to describe him.
