Greatest Male Solo Artist - Round 1 - Morrisey vs Iggy Pop

Morrissey, 'The First of The Gang To Die' is one of my favourite songs.

[Lee909]

Not a massive Iggy fan but then again he is a Brexit Manc cunt

[cloggypop]

Iggy Pop is boss. 

[johnsusername]

Tough one. First thoughts are Morrissey has more in his locker. Love Iggy though - The Idiot, Lust for Life and Blah Blah Blah are three of my favourite albums ever. 

 

But then Moz has Vauxhall and I, Your Arsenal, Viva Hate, Southpaw Grammar, Years of Refusal, and Ringleader of the Tormentors.

Gone for morrisey. He is  a massive bellend though

[mgw100]

I liked Viva Hate from Morrissey but it went downhill from there. Iggy Pop then.

[Captain Howdy]

Morrisey, questionable politics but one of the greatest English songwriters of all time. I love Iggy but Morrisey is a better songwriter.

It did with Kill Uncle which was crap, but then he made Your Arsenal and Vauxhall and I which are his best albums. 

[Bjornebye]

Love The Smiths and Morrisey has done some great songs solo but Iggy here. 

[Mook]

Iggy wins on the basis of this alone...

Great live as well

[ZonkoVille77]

Iggy Pop is the answer. 

[Captain Howdy]

Never in a million years is Iggy a better songwriter than Morrisey, I love Iggy but his best work was driven by the should be winner of this competition.

I meant to say, as much as I love him, Iggy wouldn't have made those albums without Bowie's help. The Idiot is basically Bowie's dry run for Heroes.

Brilliant song. Music written by David Bowie.

He's hardly on Iggy's level

And Bowie couldn't have made Low without Brian Eno. Disgrace he didn't make it. 

[Tony Moanero]

Abstaining. I’ve never been into Iggy Pop and I don’t care much for Morrissey’s solo career.

[Harry's Lad]

Iggy's great, but he didn't write Margaret on the Guillotine, so it's Morrissey for me.

Love that song. Blah Blah Blah is a brilliant album. It's was quite interesting how it was made (a lot of the music written and all played by Kevin Armstrong and Erdal Kızılçay), and how Bowie took time out to go on tour and was basically a roadie lugging equipment abouy. And this was 80s superstar Bowie!
