Hi Guy's. Such a great track have a listen to "Everyday Is Like A Sunday." A suedehead is a person with an almost shaven head. The look was very popular at the beginning of the 70s in the UK, similar to a skinhead.

I love your reactions and I really like that you are discovering the Smiths, which is my favorite band of all time. Also, not for nothing, but Lex, you are one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Not trying to reduce you just physical appearance at all. Your spirit and joy are wonderful to see as well.
Johnny Marr was the genius composer/guitarist and Morrissey obviously the brilliant singer/lyricist. Johnny is my fav guitarist…worth digging deeper into his playing!
A suedehead is someone with a slightly longer haircut than a skinhead. Kind of in between a mod and a skinhead. The original late 60's skinheads started growing their hair longer around 1970.
Welcome to the World of Morrissey. Some of my favourite Morrissey singles are First of the Gang to Die, Istanbul, Spent the Day in Bed, All you Need is Me. Also, like the Smiths, many of his best tracks are non-singles: Maladjusted, Ganglord, Sister I'm a Poet, Spring-Heeled Jim.

Johnny Marr's contribution to The Smiths should never be undervalued. Listen to Marr's beautiful melody to Some Girls are Bigger than Others without Morrissey's rather bad or weird lyrics. I am a big Morrissey fan, but to say he was The Smiths isn't correct.
“Tomorrow”, “I’ve Changed My Plea to Guilty”, “Everyday is Like Sunday”, “The Last of the Famous International Playboys”. So many great songs! Stephen Street was the guitarist on Viva Hate. The bassist and drummer from The Smiths played on Viva Hate. In 1992, Morrissey changed music style to a more rockabilly sound which is pervasive on “Your Arsenal”, one of my favorite albums.
I really like Every Day Is Like Sunday and Hairdresser on Fire. And back to the Smiths, Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me, and There Is a Light That Never Goes Out.
TONS of Great MORRISSEY ))) Try " Last of the International Playboys " , " I Have Forgiven Jesus ", " Speedway ", and " World Peace is None of Your Business " ... I Could Put 30 Morrissey songs here and they ALL would be Equally GREAT!
I'm really pleased (and a bit surprised) that you like the Smiths and Morrisey given that the lyrics are such an important part of their work. I don't know why but I am drawn to melancholy music in general and it is something that Morrisey excels in! Cheers.
And here it is ❤ Next up should be Last of the International Playboys 😊 Also Everyday is lile Sunday First of the Gang to Die Hairdresser on Fire Ouija Board Hold on to Your Friends Now my Heart is Full The Smiths were on an independent label - hence “indie.” We didn’t say alternative then, as you say.
Actually R.E.M. and The Smiths released their first album in the same year, 1983. And Morrissey (known to be a loner in the biz) said once that in Michael Stipe he had found someone he could relate to as an artist. Be warned that Morrissey, for all his egotism, is one of the best rock lyricists that ever lived, even today. He's up there with Tom Waits and Lou Reed in that department. And it's quite hard to find a bad album in his career (Kill Uncle is rather sloppy music-wise, but even then the lyrics are good). Some solo songs worth visiting: "The more you ignore me, the closer I get", "Dagenham Dave", "First of the gang to die", "Ouija board, Ouija board", "Sister I'm a poet", "We hate it when our friends become succesful"... so many. From The Smiths (other than "How soon is now" and The Queen is Dead album): "Half a person", "Stop me if you think you've heard this one before", "Panic", "Heaven knows I'm miserable now" , "Shoplifters of the world unite".
‘Suedehead’ always seemed the most Smiths-like of his solo songs. (It was hard to beat The Smiths as a creative force, but he tried.) ‘Something Is Squeezing My Skull’ is a very robust late-period track!
I have all The Smiths albums on vinyl, yes vinyl. Morrissey was a lyricist and had the melodies for his lyrics in his head but as a non musician he couldn't write the songs so he first teamed up with Johnny Marr to form The Smiths. Marr was a guitarist and provided the chord structures and arrangements for Morrissey's lyrics and melodies that he had in his head and they both took a songwriting credit for the songs. When The Smiths broke up Morrissey teamed up with producer Stephen Street for his first solo album Viva Hate, Street taking the Marr role and took a songwriting credit for the songs. Check out Irish Blood English Heart, a favourite of mine as that's my ancestry as well as well as Everyday Is Like Sunday, The Ordinary Boys. Favourite Smiths songs for me are, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, Panic, Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, How Soon Is Now, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore, Meat Is Murder. The song Suedehead is said by some to be about a brief affair with Associates singer Billy McKenzie. Morrissey has never confirmed or denied his sexuality saying it's no ones business but his. Associates incidently were absolutely totally bloody crap! ' BURN DOWN THE DISCO, HANG THE BLESSED DJ, because the music they constantly play says nothing to me about my life' was my anthem throughout the 80's, terrible decade for music, thank god for The Smiths and The Church, nothing much else going on. #nicknlexrequest The Church : The Unguarded Moment
Great discovery Morrissey and the Smiths ! But it is also a bit dangerous to melancholic people ...One of the most deeply melancholic voices ,bearable .maybe rescued by the band , but deep and dark emotions at the edge of
Thank You! I have an ambiguous Relation to The Smiths and Morrissey, wonderful music and Lyrics , but there is also The Werther Problem, because of this Goethe - Roman mamy Young people comitted suicide , and the same Problem is deliverered about The Smiths. All I want to say is , a warning about the music is apropriate, by own experience.
It was a good lay.....a good lay....good.... I told you it was good! We did use the term alternative back in the 80s. It included REM, The Smith's, The Cure, New Order, The Replacements, Joy Division, Talking Heads, and much much more. Rabbit Hole City for the both of you to explore.

Suedeheads are more Mods than Skinheads.
Fantastic song ❤
So true

Difficult person, but some great tunes. I guess my solo fave of his is "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get".

I saw MORRISSEY in Chicago in 1991 and it was a GREAT CONCERT!! Check out "Everyday is like Sunday" next!!

I agree, Everyday is like Sunday is beautiful, this whole album is a great artistic endeavor.
I really like Every Day Is Like Sunday and Hairdresser on Fire. And back to the Smiths, Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me, and There Is a Light That Never Goes Out.
You can go to his later album "You Are The Quarry", and listen to "First Of The Gang To Die"
Also a brilliant song 😊
Deep Rabbit Hole
Great reaction. Haven’t listened to this track in far too longer time. Forgot how good it is.
Ouija Board is also pretty good!
REM first came out before the smiths.
he has such a unique voice he's awesome

The Smiths were on an independent label - hence “indie.” We didn’t say alternative then, as you say.
On behalf of the citizens of the UK, I must apologise for inflicting Morrissey on the human race! How this guy has made a career in music is beyond me

Alternative music was a well used term in the early 1980s. It described The Smiths, R.E.M. and others.
"Radio Free Europe" by REM is very good. Their early stuff "Murmur" album is awesome.
It's been a long time since you listened to YES. Check out "In the Presence of". Good live version here: th-cam.com/video/0h6aJMsE32Y/w-d-xo.html
Morrissey and Simply Red both from Manchester, my home town!
One of the truly great lyricists. People concentrate too much on his ‘miserable’ persona. And miss the fact that he’s bloody hilarious.
'Glamorous Glue' is my fave Morrissey song.
R.E.M. made their best music before The Smiths.
Morissey is a blast his voice and stylizations are one of a kind. Fun reaction.
Please more Morrissey

Associates incidently were absolutely totally bloody crap!

“The Haties”, as Morrissey had said.
❤👍
Old interviews with Morrissey are very entertaining also. TH-cam has a lot of them.
Heck, his newer interviews are every bit as entertaining. They man is a marvelous anomaly.
Great discovery Morrissey and the Smiths ! But it is also a bit dangerous to melancholic people ...One of the most deeply melancholic voices ,bearable .maybe rescued by the band , but deep and dark emotions at the edge of
