I know that this is probably not the most typical list. I guess my other musical tastes don't really fit in with Morrissey. I do listen to indie. But when asked about my music I tend to say "I listen to punk rock and Morrissey." Oh well.

The only reason you'd catch hell from me is because I feel the Clash were exponentially better than the Sex Pistols

I was just expecting some UBER-fan to tell me I'm the most vile person on earth because I think anyone else could be equal to Moz. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan, but for some it goes a bit too far. Anyhow...

In terms of musical ability and technical proficiency, I wouldn't dream of arguing. However, I don't think thats' the best criteria by which to judge music, not that I'm implying you are, just saying. And, while it's also incidental, we never would've had a Clash without a Pistols, but thats' beside the point. I love the passion, the style, it's so cohesive, they're look, they're sound, they're attitude. They aren't just punk, they ARE punk. To me it represents the heart of rock 'n roll. Three chords and an attitude. The snarling vocals, the lyrics. Everybody's got they're own tastes, but Morrissey is the only other artist who's ever affected me so personally. When I first saw Pistols live footage I knew punk for me was more than a phase it was for life. Sorta spiritual...
