I love them all. I'm also listening to 'First of the gang to die' a lot, although I'm not as big a fan of solo Morrisey.

Very difficult to choose but I’d have to say ‘barbarism begins at hime’

Lyrically it is unfortunate that it describes how so many children were treated by parents at that time amd musically it’s one of the best outros in my opinion. Rourkes bass is unreal

There simply isn't one i don't like, I saw them in '85 on the Meat is Murder tour, Morrissey 5 times since... I've been drawn to the track Asleep lately, I was listening to Louder Than Bombs and the lyrics struck a chord with what I'm going through...
