Re: The Dylan/Morrissey debate - Listen to Dylan if you want surreal, rambling poetry. Listen to Morrissey if you want to dance your legs down to the knees in your bedroom in those ugly new houses and/or feel sorry for yourself because nobody likes you. They're both stratospherically brilliant but there's not a shred of comparison to be made between them.
my teen theme song...way back when! "I wear black on the outside because black is how I feel on the inside. And if I seem a little strange, well that's because I am. But I know you would like me, if only you could see me, if only you could meet me." MEMORIES...
@llickthestars I personally think that Ian Curtis is the greatest songwriter of all time. Robert Smith is a close second, then probably Morrisey. Just my opinion, though.
@Thecuregalore94 no - wrong - ian curtis was not a touch on morrisey. And well Robert Smith, he had a go but he never got close. People also forget that johnny marr made the smiths. Andy Rourke was a top bassman and mike Joyce could bang those drums. The only thing that ruined morriseys image was slagging off his former band members and saying they were a cog in the machine.
@Thecuregalore94 yeah - i'm a mancunian so obviously - joy division and new order - i've listened to everything they've done. Saw new order a few times and played at hacienda in a band a couple of times!! I know its not fashionable but I prefered new order. Pornography is a great album. I take back my original statement as the argument is pointless - all the artists had there merits, and Morrisey should have jacked it in after the smiths.
nice that hipsters cant relate to anything at this second i relate to this song.Its not a pleasent world.
