Yeah, I know, Playboy generally sucks, but I only got the super cheap subscription for the naked chicks... that aside, in the December 2006 issue (Cindy Margolis cover), Moz is up for Playboy's Hall Of Fame, along with REM, Sonic Youth, Depeche Mode and Joan Jett. Details are also on the website, at the very bottom of the page.

"MORRISSEY
He is the sun and the air. He is human and he needs to be loved. The Manchester warbler transcends the mopey genre he helped create through the maudlin songs he wrote with the most important British band of the 1980s, the Smiths. His self-pitying lyrics gave birth to Kurt Cobain’s bathos, emo and whole swaths of today’s music. (But don’t blame him for that.) And with this year’s solo LP, the second great one in a row, Moz shows he’s still as good as ever."

Sorry if this has been posted already, but a friend tipped me off that Morrissey was nominated for the "Hall of Fame" in Playboy's 2006 online music poll. He's up against Sonic Youth, R.E.M., Depeche Mode and Joan Jett.

Hopefully if he doesn't win, Sonic Youth will, but anyway, you can vote for him here:
