I'm going to a festival in a couple of months and Morrisey has recently been added as the headline act. Someone at work is always going on about how great he is, so I think I should perhaps listen to some of his stuff, but all I know about him is that he's a angry northerner who likes complaining about everything. Anyone got any advice on where I should start my Morrissey immersion therapy?

fantastic live.
My other half's a manc, so morrissey's compulsory listening when he's driving Think he weaned me on to moz gradually with some of his 80s stuff, now i can't get enough. Daresay that his latest album takes some listening, but it's a grower.
I would start with the smiths, probably hatful of hollow, than queen is dead, and than his last two albums. He is performing smiths tunes again, so definately listen to some smiths tracks. Be warned, alot of his solo stuff is dire though.
(not really, but the Smiths were good. Never heard any of his solo material that's grabbed me. Mrs SVT likes every Smiths song until the singing starts.)
Mr Spooner would have called it "shining wit"
Those who think that Morrisey is a talentless little shit who should be removed from the gene pool as quickly as possible:

Those with absolutely no musical taste who like the talentless little shit:
Lyra OK
The dudeabides
Shiva
Besides, his music has saved lives. allegedly, 'angel, angel, down we go together' stopped some swedish writer from topping himself.
Leonard Cohen's fantastic! listen and love.

We have one of those ITV Digital monkeys. It was in my eldest daughter's bedroom but now she is 14 and "all sophisticated" so the other day she moved it into my bedroom.
When I woke up at 06.00 the other morning I looked across and it was the first thing that I saw. It was like a bloody nightmare. I thought that you had come to haunt me.
NT, man you were so goooooood.
I had plans to marry Robert Smith until he married his stupid childhood sweeheart Mary....ooh I was angry.
I admit I came to the smiths very late, it was not until 1988 that I really began to like them.
