Songs that shouldn't have made it onto a Moz album?

[JDW]

Between his 1988 Viva Hate album to Maladjusted in 1997, Morrissey released a lot of great albums but are there any albums that contain a track that you dislike because either you don't like it lyrically or you find it to be filler. That would be best left off the album or do you think all his 80's/90's albums were done quite well in all. And also if there was a b-side released during the album's release that would have benefited being on it instead of a track.

Any opinions on this?

Roy's Keen should be used at Guantanamo Bay to torture terrorists with. I'd tell you everything after hearing that lyric for the fifth or sixth time.

thats how people grow up has weird production when compared to the rest of the album. songs alright though not my fav but i always have to turn it up because it sounds so compressed and just mixed low. maybe its a single mix or something but it causes me to skip it almost every time

 

[JDW]

Aye aye.

 

[herzeleid]

Bengali
Harsh truth
Fatty
Operation
Do Your Best
Southpaw
Roy
He Cried
Sorrow

 

[Multi]

Do Your Best
Southpaw

You're crazy.

As for my choices: The entire production of You Are The Quarry, half of the songs on Ringleader of the Tormentors, That's How People Grow Up, Sorry Doesn't Help and Earth is the Loneliest Planet.

fatty is so catchy though

 

[Jamie]

Margaret On The Guillotine
Found Found Found
Sorrow Will Come In The End
How Can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel
I Just Want To See The Boy Happy
That's How People Grow Up
Kick The Bride Down The Aisle

Frankly, I cannot objectively tamper with Arsenal, Vauxhall, or Southpaw.

The Father Who Must Be Killed should have been swapped with Christian Dior.

I agree with Bengali. I also can't tamper with YA or Vauxhall.

Switch out Bride with One of Our Own.

[JDW]

Some interesting opinions, some I disagree with but hey-de-ho.

Going post-Maladjusted

I'm not sorry
How can anyone
You know I couldn't
In the future
To me you are
On the streets
One day goodbye
Sorry doesn't help
I'm ok by myself
I'm not a man (his most excruciating lyric)
Smiler with knife ('sex and love are not the same' is a sub-Robert Palmer observation)
Oboe

Years Of Refusal... Ok, I'm being a litte harsh. Much of Years Of Refusal.

 

[MOODYBLUE]

Lordy !!!,lordy !!!!!
Forget the solo recordings.......what about the musical monstrosity commonly known as "golden lights" !!!!!!!!
How could a man with such heavenly morals,lyrics,and general wonderfulness inflict 300 million people in america with this assault on the senses by including it on "louder than bombs" !!!!!!
Words fail me !!!!.

What do you have against I'm Not Sorry? It's my favourite Moz song second to Ammunition!

I don't get your point, what's wrong with the lyrics? I'm not very god in english, so excuse my question.

Billy Budd, The Bullfighter Dies and That's How People Grow Up. If they were the only Morrissey songs that existed I still wouldn't listen to them.
