There are so few... but I think as far as bands go, Jawbreaker and Dillinger Four come the closest. Sure, neither of them sound like Moz/The Smiths, but they convey the same emotional intensity. Your opinion?
Who do you think comes close to Moz in terms of making heartfelt, powerful music???

Never heard of Jawbreaker or Dillinger Four. Stupid me. So ignorant. So mainstream. I should kill myself.
For my money, the most emotional band around these days is Radiohead (yes them AGAIN - I think they're more like the Smiths than B&S are. B&S lack the Smiths' aggressive edge). Then there's Mercury Rev, I suppose. Echo's latest is dripping with emotion. REM can be quite emotional on occasion. Hefner! yeah. these are all bands I listed in the fave band thread. I'm trying to think of old stuff ... but I can't.
As for vocalists like Moz, I was thinking about this the other day. Just about NOBODY sings as beautifully and emotionally as he does. Vocally he reminds me of old singers like Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley. Which leads to comparisons with Chris Isaak - they've got that rockabilly thing in common as well. I dunno. Thom Yorke, of course. Most pop singers can't sing worth a damn and they sound bored, too.

Re: Joy Division?
I have an album from Joy Division, the music is good. The lyrics are good, but for some reason I can't get into his voice. Do you know of a particular album I should get? I have Permanent: Joy Division.

His voice is unusual but I like it. For some people it takes a while to grow to enjoy it.
I think that you should buy Closer if you are thinking of getting another Joy Division cd.

Bands who have "touched" me..besides Morrissey
I deffinately think that Radiohead has come the closest as being heartfelt and powerful because Theres just something about his voice that cheers me up.. . ALso I will state the obvious Depeche mode, ELvis presely and NOt forget to mention Dave matthews Which i recently saw on Tv and Went and bought his cd that same day.. wierd.I dont think stoners listen to him unless i'm just one of the few who aren't...Either way again its something in his voice.
