PS there's also a version with Sandie Shaw singing so Ron won't have to suffer Morrissey's voice. It's one of my old 12-inchers  |

Yes, that's a very scary one indeed, Ian. I'm now at the stage where I started teaching two years before next autumn's intake were born!! You didn't father any of them during those first two years, did you? Well, I don't know who they'll be yet. I'm sure they'd let me know once they arrive, though. |

Morrissey, you either love him or hate him. I wouldn't put it so strongly as to say I hate him, and he does have a certain something as a lyric writer, but the sound of that voice just puts me off the entire package. |

I saw the Smiths play live a couple of times - one of which was at the Gay Tower Ballroom (sic ) in Edgbaston. |

On the other hand they probably won't need to.  |

The Smiths' Hand in Glove with a live version of Handsome Devil on the B side must be close to my favourite single of all time.  Sorry, don't know what this is doing in the Grumpy Old Rant Room  |

People moan about Pears's voice, but I'd have to nominate Morrissey's as the most instantly hackle-raising so far as the Dough's concerned. It hurts my throat to hear it: such an instant turn-off that any merit that might lurk in his works is instantly lost to me. I have much the same problem with Bob Dylan, too. (Sorry, BobbyZ).
We all have voices that have us reaching instantly for the off switch Ron, with me it is Freddie Mercury. |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

I love Freddie Mercury and Jon Bon Jovi, but don't like Rod Stewart. Don MacLean was my mother's generation's cuppa but harmless enough.

I love Freddy Mercury too. He had an amazing voice and incredible charisma on stage. A |

Various forms of beverage and location can assist I think. Yer Morrisseys and Stewarts are I'd suggest incarnations of work-the-room belters rather than singers as such. There are lesser-known practicioners such as Irelands' own Joe Dolan, yet to make his debut at Wexford Opera, famed (in Co Laois anyway)for his Irish showband takes on various rock staples, which require the acoustic to be lined with guinness before consumption. I wonder if t-p has ever encountered his machinations?
...Far from grump on musical grounds (but one for my rolling cream-crackeredness) on Saturday night I caught a set by Laura Moody who I can only describe as the Nena Hagen -but more musically pertinent of tessitura-of the cello. She followed a tour de force fx score by Judith Ring with 3 of her own fiery songs-just her and storming funky cello. Reccomended.
