The Dark Something or other Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 eh? eh eh eh. *turns to* eheheh mwhahahaha *spazzes* Squire henry reckons he is a ****, Ireckon he is quite possibly the greatest thinker of the twentieth century. All comments (condusive to the growth of Morrissey's enormous ego) welcome.
The Dark Something or other Posted July 30, 2004 Author Posted July 30, 2004 Seriously though, he is brilliant- probably the best lyricist of the 1980s, and his new album is growing on me, expecially "The First of the Gang to Die". Good stuff. :cool:
Phosphor Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 I liked The Smiths well enough, and some of Morrissey's earlier albums were good, but overall I'm not all that keen on him. He's ok.
The Dark Something or other Posted July 30, 2004 Author Posted July 30, 2004 Muttah!! What songs in particular? I love metric tonnes of his songs, but soem notables are: Big mouth Still ill Hold onto your friends Rusholme Ruffians Oh God, there are so many though!
Squire Henry Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 He IS a ****. 'Girlfriend in a coma'. I mean, come on! There were a couple of good songs, fair nuff. But he was/is a maudlin cynical **** all the same.
The Dark Something or other Posted July 30, 2004 Author Posted July 30, 2004 Maudlin? Why do you have an obsession wit h"Girlfriend in a coma"? And you ARE a cynical **** yerself, Jim :D his cynicism and humour are part of his appeal.
Phosphor Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 His voice gets on my nerves, so while I appreciate him, I can't listen to more than a few songs at a time before I succumb to calling him a whiny bast@rd.
The Dark Something or other Posted July 31, 2004 Author Posted July 31, 2004 heh, other folks have said that too; I, however, love his voice. I think it is brilliant.
Alexia Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Who??? Le donne sono da venus, la scopata sa dove sono gli uomini da. For a different kind of Kotor chat
The Dark Something or other Posted July 31, 2004 Author Posted July 31, 2004 j00 d!3 n0w!!!!!!!! *freaks* Type "Morrissey" or "The Smiths" into google. He is a popstar- 80s to present day. Very good. I'll post some lyrics in a second.

All comments (condusive to the growth of Morrissey's enormous ego) welcome. Greatest thinker of the twentieth century??? Heh, I don't think you REALLY mean that!
Phosphor Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 He might be amongst the greatest mopers and whiners of the 20th century, but thinker... no. Morrissey is kind of like Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) - constantly whining and carrying on about how the world hates him and everything is oh-so-horrible and his life is full of woe, while having a massively successful career, buckets of money, fame, prestige.. 'Tis all a wee bit much to take, really.
StillLife Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 I liked the Smiths, but never really got into Morrissey's solo stuff, seemed a bit too cheese-laden. He was the heart-throb of dramatic gay guys and teenage girls everywhere though. For anyone who has never heard him--imagine a depressed muppet.
Tigranes Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Someone gave me a song by the smiths recently. I listened.... he's okay. Nothing brilliant. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
EnderAndrew Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 I prefer my white-boy angst in grunge form. Morrisey likes to whine. And I don't find his lyrics all that brilliant.

'Tis all a wee bit much to take, really. That greatest thinker comment WAS a joke, ya know Also, I disagree, tnot all of his songs are about him, per se. anmd jsut because he is famous means he never was not famous? No, see his songs are good, and funny. Writing him off as you do is silly.
Synaesthesia Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Also, I disagree, tnot all of his songs are about him, per se. anmd jsut because he is famous means he never was not famous?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Look like someone has a case of the Volourns. Anyways, back on topic. I don't like his music.
The Dark Something or other Posted August 8, 2004 Author Posted August 8, 2004 A case of the volourns? wtf!!!Anyway, The smiths are brilliant. You probably all are sad grunge fans
Gust Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 I listen to Morrissey on occasion. Definately some good stuff, though clearly overrated.
The_Prodigal_Knight Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Erm.... e.. erm.... e.... erm...... e.... er... Wha?....... What?...... erm........ Morri..... Morrisey... worlds greatest think... thinker!!!???
Gust Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Hey isn't Morrissey that one gay pornstar with the 10 inch ****? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I will never understand why people think that displaying a deep knowledge of gay porn somehow helps their credibility.
LogickBomb Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 No matter where you post it dark, the result will be the same. morrisey = suxxorz.
Gust Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 No matter where you post it dark, the result will be the same. morrisey = suxxorz. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not suxx0rz. Not suxx0rz by any means. Though I admit his stuff can be a bit of an aquired taste. It's just that I get ever so annoyed at these people heralding him as Christ Jesus returned to earth, and the best thing since bread-slicing cyborgs. (And for the record, there is nothing better than cyborgs.*) Morrissey does have some good stuff, and even if you don't like it, most people will agree that he at least has more talent than most of the stuff the kids listen to today. But anyone who doesn't think Morrissey has his flaws is... well... a little bit too much of a fanperson for my tastes. *Except for cyborg ninjas, of course.
