Black Cloud - to be consigned to the deepest pit of hell. There's another list! Songs you'd go to the bar for . . . .

 

[Nikita]

Alphabetical order:

Everyday is like Sunday
First of the gang to die (2002 version if possible)
Life is a pigsty
The never played symphonies
Now my heart is full
Speedway
Such a little thing makes such a big difference
Trouble loves me
We’ll let you know
When last I spoke to Carol

 

[William Fisher]

I will never understand people saying their lists will change in an hour or in a day. Are you that fickle? Don’t you know yourselves? Of course, we all love tons and tons of Moz songs, but surely there are a limited number that means just a little bit more? That you love just a little bit more? That you find yourselves coming back to more often?

About 50 of them, yes.

 

[Steven SW]

The Last of the Famous International Playboys
November Spawned a Monster
Alsatian Cousin
Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning
Sing Your Life
You're Gonna Need Someone on Your Side
I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday
I've Changed My Plea to Guilty
You Have Killed Me
We'll Let You Know

 

[Gregor Samsa]

About 50 of them, yes.

And of those 50 there must be ten you feel especially close to.

 

[Ben Budd]

top of my head:

Late Night, Maudlin Street
Playboys
I Know it's Gonna Happen
Now My Heart is Full
Speedway
A Small on My Neck
Lost
Life is a Pigsty
I'm Not A Man
Once I Saw The River Clean

 

[DaggerDave]

And of those 50 there must be ten you feel especially close to.

I don't think most of us have a set top 10. Mine change based on my mood, life events and everything else.

That's the beauty of such a large catelogue of music to choose from!

 

[Ketchup]

Brow Of My Beloved
By The Time I Get To Wherever I'm Going
Mexico
My Life Is A Succession Of People Saying Goodbye
I Couldn’t Understand Why People Laughed
If Saturday Ever Comes
The Secret of Music
This Song Doesn't End When It's Over
Once Upon A Woman's Body
You Don't Need Their Approval

 

[Flash flash]

1. Now my heart is full
2. Suedehead
3. I’m not a man
4. When last I spoke to Carol
5. Sister, I’m a poet
6. Life is a pigsty
7. Once I saw the river clean
8. I like you
9. I know it’s gonna happen someday
10. Speedway

 

[Johnnie Ray]

1. The Never-Played Symphonies
2. Now My Heart Is Full
3. Everyday is Like Sunday
4. We’ll Let You Know
5. Jack the Ripper (live 2004 Birthday Gig)
6. Life is a Pigsty
7. Maladjusted
8. Come Back to Camden
9. Seasick, Yet Still Docked
10. I’d Love To

These are the ones I most often come back to when thinking about my ten favorites. There are a few others knocking about, but these are the most likely candidates. And if live versions of songs aren’t allowed, I’m changing things around and substituting it for Blue Dreamers Eyes.

Easy listening Morrissey. Obviously not a fan of The National Front Disco from "Beethoven Was Deaf."

 

[Lucifer Sam]

It's Not Your Birthday Anymore
Jack the Ripper (Beethoven Was Deaf)
Mama Lay Softly on the Riverbed
Seasick, Yet Still Docked
Staircase at the University
Such a Little Thing Makes Such a Big Difference (Beethoven Was Deaf)
Why Don't You Find Out for Yourself (demo)
The World Is Full of Crashing Bores
You Have Killed Me

 

[Daniel Boratto]

1. Boxers
2. Will Never Marry
3. Reader meet author
4. Alma Matters
5. Trouble Loves Me
6. Come back to Camden
7. I've changed my plea to guilty
8. Nobody loves us
9. My life is a succession of people saying goodbye
10. I wish you lonely

 

[Johnnie Ray]

1.The National Front Disco 2. Swallow On My Neck 3. I Don't Mind If You Forget Me 4. Human Being 5. All You Need Is Me 6. Disappointed 7. Such A Little Thing 8. Interesting Drug 9. The Last of The Famous International Playboys 10. Speedway

 

[Bonaparte Shandy]

Not ONE mention of 'Black Cloud' (as far as we can see). God, what a terrible, terrible dirge . . . and that hysterical overwrought reading - the point at which the muse probably left for good.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Easy listening Morrissey. Obviously not a fan of The National Front Disco from "Beethoven Was Deaf."

Hahaha… We can’t all be edgy and rawk n rawl like you, tough guy. Some of us like the subtleties of his more melancholic repertoire.

 

[federico]

Life is a pigsty
Everyday is like sunday
Southpaw
We hate it when our friends become successful
Lost
Now my heart is full
Let me kiss you
What kind of people live in these houses ?
Late night , Maudline street
Mountjoy

[William Fisher]

And of those 50 there must be ten you feel especially close to.

No, there are exactly 50 I feel exactly the same about, but the exactness fluctuates depending on my mood at that exact moment.

 

[Skylarker]

Impossible to pick ten but I guess that's the challenge. But no way I can prioritize then.

Jack The Ripper / Once I Saw The River Clean / Action Is My Middle Name / Good Looking Man About Town / Darling I Hug A Pillow / Maladjusted / A Swallow On My Neck / The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores / Jim Jim Falls / Art Hounds

 

[SuedeMoz]

I will never understand people saying their lists will change in an hour or in a day. Are you that fickle? Don’t you know yourselves? Of course, we all love tons and tons of Moz songs, but surely there are a limited number that means just a little bit more? That you love just a little bit more? That you find yourselves coming back to more often?

I feel like we've been scolded... it's hard to narrow a 30+ year career down to 10 songs... doing so means excluding ones that you may enjoy equally. Yes, there are a limited number of songs that mean a bit more... but for me anyway, there are more than 10 of them.
