Please score these Morrissey/Boorer tracks (M-Y)

[Deleted member 29227]

As we know, Boz Boorer has co-written quite a few songs (54*); in Phase 1, we scored the first batch of 26 songs (Boz Boorer A-L), having previously scored Jesse Tobias, Gustavo Manzur, & more recently Stephen Street, so thought it might be good to complete Boz Phase 2, & score the 2nd batch of 26 tracks (M-Y).

You know the drill by now, so let's go! For clarity, scores should range should be between 1-10.

Here they are in alphabetical order:

1. Maladjusted
2. Mexico**
3. Mountjoy
4. Noise Is The Best Revenge
5. Now My Heart Is Full
6. Oboe Concerto
7. One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell
8. Reader Meet Author
9. Rebels Without Applause
10. Satan Rejected My Soul
11. Scandinavia
12. Speedway
13. Spring-Heeled Jim
14. Staircase At The University
15. That's How People Grow Up
16. The Kid's A Looker
17. The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get
18. The Public Image
19. The Slum Mums
20. The Teachers Are Afraid Of The Pupils
21. The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores
22. This Song Doesn't End When It's Over
23. Who Will Protect Us From The Police?
24. World Peace Is None Of Your Business
25. You Should Have Been Nice To Me
26. You've Had Her

(*I Know Who I Love & Diana Dors remain hidden/unreleased/unavailable.)
(** Gary Day credited as additional co-write)

Upon completion, I’ll provide a scores summary for Phase 2, then merge the datasets for both phases to provide a single point of reference.

NB: If I give you a 'Like' or 'Informative' this indicates I've captured your score.

If The World Is Full of Crashing Bores doesn't take the top spot (and it looks like it won't), then I don't know what. Absolute ten, a perfect masterpiece, "fecking fire," &c.

I actually gave it a 9. I’ve always adored it. And it sounds like nothing else in the Moz canon, neither musically nor lyrically.

[Roman Holiday]

Rebels Without Applause 7 ( my vote goes to live version , I hate studio crap which deserves 1 )

Semantics, perhaps, but: I've been working under the assumption that we're scoring the official release of a song, unless the song otherwise only exists in a demo or live version.

I gave Jack the Ripper a ten because the live version is what appears on three releases (the demo would be several points lower for me). I'd rate the live version of Rebels a 7, but I'm going to have to give it a 4 or 5 for this list. Unless we're supposed to be rating these songs based on what we think is the best version.

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

funny scorings so far. I wonder how people are really judging these songs and against what(?)

I’m suspecting it varies for everyone, so the final result of course needs to taken with a pound of salt.
