... For Your Pleasure is the better record though.

"For Your Pleasure" was clearly the best album on Morrissey's list. Much as I dislike Bryan Ferry's views on politics in general and hunting in particular, I cannot and will not deny Ferry's immense contribution to musical history. What a shame that La Moz feels unable to do the same.

...choose your music tastes on whether you like the artist as a person and/or their beliefs? Just seems a bit petty to me. Personally there's some artists that I dislike as people but it doesn't stop me from liking their music. If I like a song, or an album, I'll listen to it. I mean, Paul Weller strikes me as being a bit of a twat but I still occasionally like to listen to The Jam. If, for example, some horror story involving Brian Wilson came out that led people to dislike him intensely, does it change the fact that Pet Sounds is one of the greatest albums of all time? The answer is no :)

I do not share Moz views on vegetarianism and therefore I have deleted all Morrissey and Smiths albums from my all time favorite album top 10. Leaves me with a empty list though. Unless number 11 will be number one. But that would be too much credit for the Greatest Hits of A-Ha.

But lots of people hate him. And this crap is why.

Ha! He'll still love the record deep down. He's just forcing himself not to like it.

Brian Ferret is the muppet version of Brian Ferry.

It is really less Bryan Ferry and more his kid .

I doubt he actually dislikes the music itself. Maybe his thought process was that if he lists it as a favourite album, he will be promoting sales of it, and on principle he refuses to contribute to the livelihood of someone who hunts.
Or maybe he still likes the music but listening to it reminds him of hunting, which then upsets him, and ruins the listening experience.
(does seem a bit petty though)

why Morrissey never talks about the Sex Pistols album
' Never mind the Bo[u]llocks '

as he repeeately spoken this was his first gig,
maybe Johnny Lydon has siad the same as Peter Hook

also Bowie's ZiggySt. album would suit in the list ,Morrissey is influenced by lots, Bowie
is certainly 1 on them

why is this a newsitem?, just 1 change

In no particular order...

Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Never Mind The Bollocks - Sex Pistols
The Bends - Radiohead
OK Computer - Radiohead
Alladin Sane - David Bowie
Turn On The Bright Lights - Interpol
Banana Album - Velvet Underground
The Smiths - The Smiths
Morrissey You Are The Quarry - Morrissey
Years of Refusal - Morrissey
The Smoking Popes live - Smoking Popes
Different Class - Pulp
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

Bailiff.

This is similar to a layperson (note to the pedantics here not comparable) going "Oh I don't like The Smiths anymore cos Morrissey called the Chinese a sub-species and is a racist. I therefore have no truck for great influential music and art because I disagree with the lead protaganist's later actions.

I'm sure some bright spark will now amke and Adolf Hitler/ Richard Key's allusion

I knew that B.Ferret was into killing animals for sport - I thought the rest of the world knew too. For years he's been talking about supporting blood "sports" and how his father got him involved...hasn't he? How can this be news to pop guru Morrissey?

Hey, I heard a great song the other day.

The guitars are a bit week ( and soppy) and the vocals are not too bad, but it's by The Pretenders and it's called, Everyday is like Sunday.

Oh no.....just kidding...

Love and Best Wishes,

So...how many of you out there, who liked Bryan Ferry (well, felt they had to) just because Morrissey liked him, have now declared their dis-like ?.....or do you need someone to tell you how you feel ?

 

so odd. i just purchased Gorecki Symphony #3 two weeks ago upon hearing the 2nd movement on the radio. so very odd.

Morrissey childish and petulant - surely not!

Oddly enough the addition of Gorecki, temporally the oldest music on his list, is the first sign that his taste is expanding beyond his insular youth.

Newcastle last night:

The Main Thing – Street Life – Pyjamarama – If There Is Something – Same Old Scene – Just Like You – Amazona – 2HB – Like A Hurricane – Tara – Bitter Sweet – Sentimental Fool – Prairie Rose – My Only Love – Avalon – Virginia Plain – Love Is The Drug – Editions Of You – Do The Strand – Jealous Guy – For Your Pleasure.

Thats what I call quite good

anyone who was a teen in the 70s owned and still does ziggy stardust album of the decade

i think hes just givin baldy ed summat to post
next week itll be full of french shite that no buggers erd of

keane hopes and fears
fantastic

I don't care for Roxy at all.
Give me T Rex any day.

I have over 900 albums but don't own a single one of Morrissey's favourites.

For someone supposedly into popular music, he always seems to have very limited tastes.
Didn't he say on Desert Island discs that he only has a collection of 50-60 singles or was that made up.

If one is to listen to music based on the perceived morality of the purveyors, one may find oneself completely bereft.
