In this month's Q magazine 50 of the best ever music books are listed, "Morrissey & Marr - The Severed Alliance" is amongst them.

Q says "Rogan's overview of The Smiths is impassioned, thorough and almost comically erudite - the author suggests that early B-side Jeane, may be named after Morrissey's aunt jeane Sheppard while it might be worth noting that the bastard child of Oscar Wilde's friend Lillie Langtry was named Jeane. But the final frisson with a book that had Morrissey wishing Rogan death in a m3 pile up is the way moz is pursued by someone with an eccentricity to riva his own. The jacket blurb explains how Rogan once wrote.in isolation for an entire year without speaking to another human being."

  • British magazines and their silly lists...perhaps next they can tell us that michael jackson's pepsi commercial (the one where his hair ignited) and the recent superbowl pairing of aerosmith, britney spears, and whoever else was there stand out as great moments in the history of rock and roll.
    thank god i missed that stupid superbowl performance. i hope none of you had to endure it. i'm really off topic but i live in tampa and being from this horrible city, i almost feel some sort of guilt over that half time show...
    anyway, out of curiousity i must ask if anyone knows what book was put at the top of this list...given the magazine's credibility amongst moz fans, i'd have to hypothesize that it probably was complete crap.
