Yep that's The Smiths. Morrissey is Solo now
and Johnny Marr is in Modest Mouse

the other 2 are nobodies that skated on the coattails of Morr/Marr

might be recording quality that throws off my opinion -- i'm very open to that concept

can you squeeze me
into an empty page of your diary
and psychologically save me?
i've got faith in you

in the fingers
within an hour the power
can totally destrooOOoy me
or it could save my lifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I just can't get into Modest Mouse. I keep trying but end up just skipping songs. I don't think Isaac Brock is nearly as gifted a lyricist and singer as Morrissey.

and there is no doubt in my mind that the order would be The Smiths > Morrissey solo > Modest mouse.

But I did grow up listening to the Smiths, thanks to my older brother. So it might be more Nostalgia. I can barely stomach Morrissey's most recent efforts. In fact I haven't purchased his last 2 albums.

modest mouse reminds me of randy marsh's shit music from southpark.

isaac brock is an amazing lyricist and songwriter. i'd agree that moz has a better singing voice but moz sings better than practically everyone.

no reason to really compare these two bands anyways.


modest mouse is awesome, the smiths are awesome, everything is fucking awesome!
