I picked First Of The Gang To Die, but I'm not sure why, probably because I've heard it used quite alot for montages and things on TV, so it must be 'acceptable' to the powers that be
I chose 'The More You Ignore Me...' simply because it is the song most non-Moz fans remember when they search their brains. Other than that people tend to say 'Who?'
hey, you missed Alma!
I think it may have got more airplay than any other Moz song.
was A-listed on Radio 1 when it came out.
remember catching my then housemate singing along and she wasn't even a music fan let alone a serious Mozhead!
I threw Sunny in as a random choice. I can't remember if it received much airplay at the time, but it sounds like the type of song that should.
Going slightly off-topic now - I downloaded All You Need Is Me last night, and don't you think this would be great as a single? It's such a catchier song than THPGU and I think it would receive more airplay.
I don´t listen to the radio often and I doubt that they´re playing Morrissey here in Germany that often.
But when I just read the Threadtitle the first song going through my head was "First of the Gang". I think it´s very radio-friendly.
So I´ll choose that one.
Damn! Pretty one-sided voting going on here. I think I might be alone in the fact that I don't like 'First of the Gang to Die'.
Anyways, I voted for Suedehead. I think it is a perfect radio-friendly song that could've done well if stations gave it a chance.
There is only one station, aside from the z100 fiasco when they decided to push 'The More You Ignore Me...', that I get around here that plays any Moz stuff...106.3, an alternative station on the Jersey Shore. They mostly play the Smiths...but will break out a solo tune every once in a while. They always start playing more Moz when he is around touring and usually play up the new singles when they come out.
I remember I didn't know that Maladjusted was coming out and one night I was driving and they were like "here's the new one from Morrissey..Alma Matters" Good stuff.
One of the DJ's also verbally tore apart a caller for saying that Our Lady Peace's cover of HSIN was better than the one by that 'other band'...hahaha...it was great!
