Bumping this thread because I've spent the last hour listening to Louder Than Bombs. God, the Smiths were the fucking best. Their music seems to get better and better as time passes. They were as close to perfect as you can get.

Is this regarding Jon-Mar or Morrisey? I'm uneducated on such matters.

Love The Smiths. Don´t know anything of Morrissey.
With which albums should I start?
Tks!!!
Viva Hate is the easiest transition from the Smiths to Moz-solo. Vauxhall & I isn't a bad choice if for some reason you want to start in the middle of his career. Your Arsenal was always my favorite, but it's one of his lesser Smiths-esque albums.

Morrissey has a new autobiography out. It contains lines such as (regarding an NME reviewer) "Julie Burchill is, of course, not loveable, and has pitifully late middle-aged legs. Her naked body probably kills off marine plankton in the North Sea. I shall be honored to attend her funeral, and I might even jump into the grave."

Open letter to Johnny Marr
This is not a rant or an hysterical bombast. It is a polite and calmly measured request: Would you please stop mentioning my name in your interviews?
Would you please, instead, discuss your own career, your own unstoppable solo achievements and your own music?
If you can, would you please just leave me out of it?
The fact is: you don’t know me. You know nothing of my life, my intentions, my thoughts, my feelings. Yet you talk as if you were my personal psychiatrist with consistent and uninterrupted access to my instincts. We haven’t known each other for 35 years – which is many lifetimes ago. When we met you and I were not successful. We both helped each other become whatever it is we are today. Can you not just leave it at that? Must you persistently, year after year, decade after decade, blame me for everything … from the 2007 Solomon Islands tsunami to the dribble on your grandma’s chin ?
You found me inspirational enough to make music with me for 6 years. If I was, as you claim, such an eyesore monster, where exactly did this leave you? Kidnapped? Mute? Chained? Abducted by cross-eyed extraterrestrials? It was YOU who played guitar on “Golden Lights” – not me.
Yes, we all know that the British press will print anything you say about me as long as it’s cruel and savage. But you’ve done all that. Move on. It’s as if you can’t uncross your own legs without mentioning me. Our period together was many lifetimes ago, and a lot of blood has streamed under the bridge since then. There comes a time when you must take responsibility for your own actions and your own career, with which I wish you good health to enjoy. Just stop using my name as click-bait. I have not ever attacked your solo work or your solo life, and I have openly applauded your genius during the days of “Louder than bombs” and “Strangeways, here we come,” yet you have positioned yourself ever-ready as rent-a-quote whenever the press require an ugly slant on something I half-said during the last glacial period as the Colorado River began to carve out the Grand Canyon. Please stop. It is 2022, not 1982.
