About album of the day: The BestEverAlbums.com album of the day is the album appearing most prominently in member charts in the previous 24 hours. If an album, or artist, has previously been selected within a x day period, the next highest album is picked instead (and so on) to ensure a bit of variety. A full history of album of the day can be viewed here.
My favourite Morrissey body of work is his singles span 88-90, as illustrated in Bona Drag. This is the next best though, Morrissey managed to keep his band tight and subtle, and without the rockabilly bravado or adult-rockish tepidness of some of his other solo albums (think 1997-2014).

1. Viva Hate ( Sweepingly romantic, teenage bedroom pop at its best!)
2. Your Arsenal (Morrissey's solo artist years at their most dangerous & urgent)
3. Bona Drag ( Singles Going Steady - Can't imagine college radio without them)
-----------------------------------------
4. Vauxhall & I ( Where I started to lose interest, started to drift into Adult Contemporary here imo)
5. Southpaw Grammer
Really haven't given anything else a fair shake, including Kill Uncle.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with others that Morrissey's best solo period came immediately post-Smiths, and that of the rest this is his best effort. It's focused, full of catchy pop songs, and largely pretty tasteful production-wise. Still, it does have a few overly melodramatic moments, and it isn't perfect, but as a teen it was the first Morrissey solo album I heard, and I've always liked it. 'Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself?' is one of my favourite Moz songs, solo or otherwise. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
