Orson Swells October 7, 2008, 09:31 AM nice. i love papa jack, what say you?;)

I Know Very Well How I Got My Name
Hairdresser On Fire
Sister I'm A Poet
Disappointed
Will Never Marry
Girl Least Likely To
I've Changed My Plea To Guilty
Jack The Ripper

MrTheEdge October 7, 2008, 12:24 PM I agree. But the list would not be complete without the following:

I love it too! :cool: :)
Harsh Truth October 7, 2008, 01:01 PM Please can I add Sister I'm a Poet , classic Moz imo. :)

jesuisbryony October 7, 2008, 04:40 PM Teenage Dad On His Estate not his best but I do like it.
Also My Dearest Love , Sister I'm A Poet and Jack the Ripper but those go without saying.
I am a Ghost October 7, 2008, 07:16 PM All that have been mentioned, but one that hasn't been mentioned, "My Life Is A Succession Of People Saying Goodbye".
Dothatagain? October 7, 2008, 07:52 PM God, where to start?

CharlieFairhead October 7, 2008, 10:21 PM i still can't believe 'my dearest love' was buried on vinyl. sometimes i think morrissey doesn't know his best work...
You might just be right there, that said i think he likes to tuck great songs away to discover...keeping the lost art of great b-sides alive.
ellay mort October 7, 2008, 10:34 PM You might just be right there, that said i think he likes to tuck great songs away to discover...keeping the lost art of great b-sides alive.
hmm, yes.
i guess i've just found some of his recent single choices frustrating. and it's especially frustrating to know there is better material that deserves to be at the top of the charts which isn't being given that chance *cough good looking man about town cough*
teeth October 7, 2008, 10:48 PM Get Off The Stage :guitar:
Dow Jones October 7, 2008, 10:51 PM Nobody Loves Us is king.

oscillate wildly October 7, 2008, 11:04 PM Jack The Ripper and I've Changed My Plea To Guilty = :sweet: but mostly :cool:
LegalTender October 9, 2008, 03:42 AM i've only heard what's been on the compilations and live albums. but from what i've heard, i like Don't Make Fun Of Daddy's Voice the best, better than anything on You Are The Quarry.
bysshe October 9, 2008, 03:55 AM "Jack the Ripper" and "Friday Mourning."

Maurice E posted 2006 poll results.
Seasick December 21, 2008, 08:43 PM I agree with most but I can't believe no one has mentioned "You've Had Her". I love it, but wish it contained more lyrics. I need more of that song.
tlm130 December 21, 2008, 08:49 PM I agree with most but I can't believe no one has mentioned "You've Had Her". I love it, but wish it contained more lyrics. I need more of that song.
Couldn't agree with you more!!! Such a lovely track, more lyrics would have been nice though what he has on it is just beautiful!

jhj1814 December 22, 2008, 12:07 AM I *think* I like "Noise Is The Best Revenge" more than "Ganglord," so it's worth mentioning as a fave. Isn't it also a LIVE session recording, anyone know if there was a studio version leaked or released??

To this date, no information of a studio version exists. Both Noise Is The Best Revenge and I'm Playing Easy To Get were only ever recorded for a Janice Long session in 2004. The latter was aired live twice that fall, but the former has never been played in concert.
Cheers,
