Is there any better album that Morrissey's solo debut Viva Hate? What an explosion of energy, defiance and wit. I'm currently listening to some of the B-sides off the album, courtesy of YouTube for the first time in like 15 years.
"I Don't Mind If You Forget Me" was a favorite when I was young and holds up wonderfully. I love the wasp-like guitar, the fast trotting drums and, as per se, the words of singer/songwriter Morrissey, who is my personal patronus. There's something liberating and healing about the final refrain: "Rejection is one thing, but rejection from a fool is cruel."
