I'm actually listening to Ringleader (At Last I Am Born) now, It's probably my favourite album of his, It's weird because I've been listening to a lot of The Fall the past few months, but it's so good coming back to listening to The Smiths and Morrissey after a couple of months and hearing them with fresh ears again, you realise and appreciate it more and more each time when you give Moz a well earned listen to.

Oh he's brilliant innie!?

A few tough decisions to make there, but here goes:

Viva Hate: Suedehead
Kill Uncle: Our Frank
Your Arsenal: Seasick, yet still docked
Vauxhall & I: I am hated for loving
Southpaw Grammar: Boy Racer (or from the 2009 Redux, Nobody loves us)
Maladjusted: Alma Matters
You Are The Quarry: How could anybody possibly know how I feel
Ringleader of the Tormentors: In the future when all's well
Year Of Refusal: It's not your birthday anymore

No least favourite list because I can't help but associate "least favourite" with "dislike" (however illogical that may be) and I honestly don't dislike any Morrissey songs.

Very true. :)

Viva Hate- 'Late Night, Maudlin Street'

Kill Uncle- I'm torn between 'Our Frank' and 'Mute Witness'. At the moment I'm leaning towards the latter.

Your Arsenal- 'Seasick, Yet Still Docked'

Vauxhall and I- My all-time favourite (both from this album and full-stop) is 'Now My Heart Is Full', but I also adore 'Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself'.

Southpaw Grammar- 'Reader Meet Author'

Maladjusted- Easy. 'Maladjusted'. Although since buying the reissue I have grown very fond of 'I Can Have Both'

You Are The Quarry- At the moment it's 'You Know I Couldn't Last'.

Ringleader of the Tormentors- 'On The Streets I Ran', but often I'm more in the mood for 'Life Is A Pigsty' or 'In The Future When All's Well'.

Years Of Refusal- At the moment I'm completely in love with 'Mama'. However, 'It's Not Your Birthday Anymore' and 'I'm OK By Myself' are also outstanding. I rank many of the songs from YOR very highly on my all-time favourites list.

And my least favourites (not necessarily disliked)...

Viva Hate- 'Margaret on the Guillotine'
Kill Uncle- 'Found Found Found'
Your Arsenal-'You're the One for Me, Fatty'
Vauxhall and I- 'Used to be a Sweet Boy'
Southpaw Grammar- 'Dagenham Dave'
Maladjusted- 'He Cried' either that or 'Roy's Keen'
You Are the Quarry- 'I'm Not Sorry'
Ringleader of the Tormentors- 'To Me You Are A Work of Art'
Years of Refusal- 'Sorry Doesn't Help'
 
FAVORITE:
Viva Hate: The Ordinary Boys
Kill Uncle: Sing Your Life
Your Arsenal: You're the One For Me, Fatty
Vauxhall and I: Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself (very tough album to choose)
Southpaw Grammar: Reader Meet Author
Maladjusted: Trouble Loves Me
Your Are the Quarry: I'm Not Sorry
Ringleader of the Tormentors: In the Future When All is Well
Years of Refusal: You Were Good in Your Time

Very tough decision on a lot of those albums!

LEAST FAVORITE:
Viva Hate: Margaret on the Guillotine
Kill Uncle: Found, Found, Found
Your Arsenal: CANNOT CHOOSE ONE!
Vauxhall and I: Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning
Southpaw Grammar: Dagenham Dave
Maladjusted: Sorrow Will Come In the End
Your Are the Quarry: I Like You
Ringleader of the Tormentors: On The Streets I Ran
Years of Refusal: Black Cloud

Having listed my least favorite, please understand I'd still rather listen to my least favorite track of Morrissey's than the drivel I hear on FM radio these days!!!!
