I would say Stuart Murdoch, Elliott Smith and Stephin Merritt all at least match him as lyricists, but I don't mean it autistically since they are all essentially doing different things with their music.

Most musician don't care for lyrics
And even then, if Morrissey were a writter first musician second I bet he would been a heavy hitter of the 20th century. Nothing to write home about but enough to be a charismatic characther and a meme on /lit/

Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey.

Mercer from The Shins comes quite close, but not in emotional impact, just writing ability.

These are all shit replies.

he's a lost irish bard, can't replicate that

His lyrics are great, but what sets them apart is how he sells them. Also great: Jonathan Richman and Will Oldham.

and this one is even worse because it contrbutes nothing to the discussion. kys

People are idiots and assume he’s being miserable all the time when majority of his stuff in the Smiths is more dark comedy. When they were a band he most popular rock bands were making songs about partying, picking up chicks having a good time and they respond with How Soon is Now a song about going out to party but leaving sad and alone

>people are idiots
they're idiots because they're young

Nah dude older people have this opinion young people love the Smiths
