Biography

Davyhulme, Lancashire, United Kingdom (1988 – present)

Steven Patrick Morrissey, better known as Morrissey, is an English singer and lyricist born in Davyhulme, Lancashire, United Kingdom on May 22, 1959.

He was the lead singer of The Smiths, one of the most influential alternative bands in the 1980s. The group split up in 1987 and Morrissey started a successful solo career.

His first solo album, Viva Hate was released only six months after The Smiths split, in March 1988. The album’s first single “Suedehead” peaked at #5, a higher position than any Smiths single had ever achieved. In 1990, Bona Drag, a collection of his solo singles and b-sides, including popular songs such as “The Last of the Famous International Playboys” and “Everyday Is Like Sunday” (which also appears on “Viva Hate”)

His second album 1991’s Kill Uncle was not as well received as his first, with neither single achieving the Top 20. In 1992, the Mick Ronson-produced Your Arsenal was released and included singles such as “Tomorrow” and “We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful”. A live album, Beethoven Was Deaf, followed in 1993.

In 1994, Morrissey released Vauxhall and I, which contained “The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get”, his biggest hit in the United States, where it peaked at #46. Later that year, Morrissey also recorded a one-off project with Siouxsie of Siouxsie and the Banshees: they sang in duet on the single Interlude.

After “Vauxhall and I”, Morrissey released Southpaw Grammar (1995) and Maladjusted (1997), both of which failed to produce a UK Top 20 single.

    Great singer. Fan-fucking-tastic lyricist. Nice hair. "larger than life"-personality. Self-obsessed (who isn't, really?).

    Decent singer. Good lyricist. Nice hair. Ugly personality. Blatant racist. Arrogant, self-obsessed bigmouth. Shame on every Morrissey fanboy who has a completely non-critical view on him.

    I think that everyone compares her to speak for others. This is not to adopt the model of behavior, or do anything that does not cause a conviction. Deal only of wanting to get more opinions to justify any position. In any case, when you like something and rejected the majority, then you need to understand this :)

    I was tarding out hardcore over Kill Uncle b4 it wuz cool. B| Also, to comment on your earlier remark, uh, mark: I guess I see your point, I just don't think that applies to me personally, considering I am not one of those people on YouTube who refers to Morrissey as a "gay" "fagot". I also don't care if he is. It's one of those things I just literally never, ever even think about... It's a non-issue with me.

    mark_mark_mark ; I think "Kill Uncle" is an amazing album as well. I don't know who those said "critics" are, and I'll never want to know. > the end of the family line, the harsh truth of the camera eye... sing your life, and there is a place in hell for me and my friends are my favorites from kill uncle, although I prefer the KROQ version of those last two.

    Why many critics consider "Kill Uncle" the worst bad album? It's a conspiracy? I think this album is amazing.
