    Default Complete list of Morrissey songs by author?

    Is there anywhere I can see a list of Morrissey songs sorted by author/composer? I know the credits are easy to find, but I'm looking for lists. Thanks.

    I don't think there is one, but we can make a list.

    Congratulations! According to kewpie, you've asked a question no one has ever asked before! This is probably the first time this has ever happened.

    Hey Kewpie, I almost sent you a message asking this.

    we could do it on google doc and save as a sortable list, but contributors have to have a gmail account. Or maybe someone has done this already and will see this request.

    the reason I asked was because someone mentioned Alain as the writer of Ganglord and Pigsty, two of my favorite of the newer songs. I hadn't paid attention to who wrote which songs and was happily surprised to see this.

    I love the logical imposibility of this

    Well, that's because I am

    If you don't mind my venturing off-topic a bit, I've long considered asking Stephane whether I can help him turn Passions into a database-driven site. For example, I think that his discography pages are the best I've ever seen for any of the bands that I enjoy, but I like to be even more detailed when I compile my playlists (by sorting everything by its original release date, regardless of country of origin), etc. Having it in a database would allow you to, for example, look up a list of the concerts where "Roy's Keen" was played, see which concerts have known bootleg, or order the releases by their release dates in, say, Australia. I only mention this because then it would be dead easy to sort by song author.


    Love Morrissey, but hate most Morrissey fans? Then this is the FB group for you.

    Again I thank Morrissey for saving the best Nevin Tracks for last...

    I've Changed My Plea To Guilty, You're gonna Need Someone On Your Side, and I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday...

    BTW, is The B-side version the TV apperance that's been skuttled around...The UK version has some voice over at the beginning that's made me think so...

    Who's playing the piano on it?

    According to Johan, Morrissey didn't have a band at that time the musicians were Jonathan Ross' house band members.

    I always thought that goonish looking guy was Mark Nevin and the guitar player is "standing in the dark" and I always wondered who he was. Now I know. They are both nobody.
