CD Description
A strong compilation of singles and B-sides, BONA DRAG is one of Morrissey's finest solo discs. While he'd never achieve the commercial or artistic heights he reached with the Smiths, Morrissey nevertheless turned out some excellent music after the Smiths breakup. (One gets the sense that the collaboration between Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr, like Lennon and McCartney before them, was one of those rare pairings that quadrupled the sum of its parts.) BONA DRAG brings together material from Morrissey's solo debut, VIVA HATE, and the singles released as he worked on its follow-up, KILL UNCLE.
All the elements of Morrissey's well-known persona are present--his biting, literate wit, his world-weary vocalintonation, and his flair for dramatising anguish, ennui, and Wildean aestheticism. VIVA HATE's biggest singles are here--the cheeky "Hairdresser on Fire", the lushly beautiful "Everyday Is Like Sunday", and the pop gem "Suedehead". The remaining songs are top-notch, too, especially the sunny, incisive "Interesting Drug" and the shuffling heartbreaker "He Knows I'd Love to See Him". As a representative sampling of Morrissey's best post-Smiths material, BONA DRAG does not disappoint.

Customer Reviews

The real Best of Morrissey album
From the sublime Will Never Marry and Such a Little Thing to the indie classics Suedehead and Everyday Is Like Sunday, this album is the real best of Morrissey. Taking in the first four years of Morrissey's solo career, this album contains the highlights from the Viva Hate album as well as singles and B-Sides from the same period. November Spawned a Monster and Last of the Famous... are as good as any songs Morrissey has written, whether solo or with the Smiths. The B-sides here too, were better than a lot of what followed, Hairdresser on Fire standing out in particular. In truth, some of the albums (and especially the best of albums) after this one were patchy. This one doesnt have a weak track. As good as it got.

leave me alone I was only singing...
Everyday Is Like Sunday has to be the ultimate Morrissey song, surely it is impossible not to love it?

That, plus 'Playboys' 'Interesting Drug' 'November' 'Such a Little Thing' 'Suedehead' etc etc, all on one album?!?!

By far my favourite Moz album, he may still be going and this may be over a decade old but this has got to be Morrissey at his peak.

He came close with Your Arsenal, but he has never bettered this album.

This should be the starting point for anyone curious about Morrissey

Simply the best
Let's keep this short and sweet. This is without a doubt the best Morrissey collection ever. Forget about any 'best of...' releases, just dig out a copy of this because it has his best work on a single CD and compares favourably to his earlier work with The Smiths. A classic.
