Please help! I'm new to Morrissey...what other music groups or singers are similar?

Tried The Smiths yet?
No one is like Morrissey, but here are some groups and people I like.

Gilbert O'Sullivan
Pulp
Suede
David Bowie
Elvis Costello - early years

so many more, but i just remembered i don't like writing lists
 
I second the motion...there is no one like Moz.

"Gene" is a great band, that sounds like it's Moz's little brother.

check out "Johnny Marr and the Healers"-Johnny's new album rocks, Ringo Star's son plays drums!

If you want to go back you could also check out the bands that Johnny has played with. They are:

The The
Electronic

Morrisey and the Smiths have influenced many many artists. Keep listening. Enjoy the quest!
 
New to Morrissey? God how I envy you! To hear all the songs again for the first time...

I'll toss out a couple of bands/albums I like:

Pulp "Different Class"
Suede "Coming Up"
Billy Bragg "Don't Try This At Home"
The Magnetic Fields "69 Love Songs Vol. 1"

Can't recommend The Magnetic Fields enough. Lyrically and musically just amazing but no where near the vocal range of Morrissey.

Hope this helps.

After the Grove show in Anaheim, someone passed out a promo CD. Wish I hadn't waited weeks to play it. The band's name is Sunday Stop and they're pretty good. They do need to hone their skills a bit, but what caught my attention was their sound. Very Smithy, Mozzy..
