well, in my youth i liked the tears for fears song "shout" very much.

i wrote passion in a sense of "artistically true". i couldn't feel any sentiment in men at work songs, only stupidity.

no, it was their greatest hits.

A lot of Morrissey's lyrics are angry, don't you find?

Angry in a comforting way. It's not like he's some freak thug OG that you're scared is gonna jump you on the street.

And then, Morrissey has variety. When was the last time you heard an MC touch on feelings like "I'd Love To" or "Speedway" on and on, you get my point. Most MCs are less than human. They are despicable people.

It's in other music too like devil-worshiping industrial and half of metal too. It's just stuff you don't want to listen to unless you're half dead or ready to kill.

With Morrissey, It is like he's on your side, your elusive feelings are finally expressed in an witty and intelligent manner. You can face the world, laugh at the absurdity of it all, and not feel driven to destroy the world or yourself.
Hip hop vs. Morrissey? That's a no-brainer.

How the @#!!! would you know this? You know nothing about "most MC's," and you know damn-near nothing about Morrissey.

People exist outside your solipsistic fantasy. You might want to change the "you" in your response to "I."
