I’ve been critical when Morrissey’s setlist choices have been indulgent—i.e., too many new and/or esoteric songs that HE prefers, vs. what his paying audience wants. Similarly, in tours when he has done primarily hits (e.g., 2008), did it make Moz into just another ‘80s legacy act looking for a payday?…

But IMHO these setlists for the current tour, especially the first coupla Euro dates this week, are just—chef’s kiss—magnifique!… As with all artists, 100% of Morrissey shows will lack something we were hoping to hear, or a track we could do without. Yet 2026 shows like last night’s in Sweden cover a nice blend of styles and eras.

Not counting live material, what are recent songs Morrissey has released in any form (single, album, bonus track, etc.) that rocked the fuck out?... I know Moz is a pensioner now and has earned the right to mellow out in his senior years. But I was poring through his post-2010 catalog, trying to find anything with "Squeezing My Skull" bones. It's really dozens of ballads or "Many Icebergs Ago"-type slogs vs. anything that got me outta my seat.
