10. Walk Into the Sea (Walk Into the Sea, 2018)

“I totally want the Juno the guy in the music video is playing.  Really, i just want a new keyboard.  One day perhaps.  Curious why Marr isn’t using an EBow in the video, as it certainly sounds like one is being used in the recording. I’m away bigger Johnny Marr fan than I am a Morrissey fan.  Morrissey has never released anything to match this.”

9. Dynamo (Playland, 2014)

“This is good. This is… really good. And it was on the radio. And it was good. And I hate modern music. And it was good. And I usually just wait for the old good stuff to come on. But this was good.”

8. I Want the Heartbeat (The Messenger, 2013)

“This song is awesome and amazing. it attracts people to listen it. it is the best song of all time. Powerful song, everything about it can make you feel the song.”
