Number 25: Morrissey - Everyday Is Like Sunday
Morrissey came to fame as the lead singer of The Smiths, but went solo after that band broke up in 1987. His first solo album, Viva Hate, was released in 1988 and featured the smash hit "Everyday Is Like Sunday", which reached #9 on the UK pop charts and made Morrissey a solo star. A long and successful career followed, as the Manchester native maintained his fanbase throughout the rest of the 80s, into the 90s and beyond. "Everyday Is Like Sunday" remains a staple of Morrissey's concert set today, and gets the #25 spot on my Top 200 in his only appearance here.
Later career Moz! Makes sense as the Smiths were more guitar-heavy than synth thanks to the talented Mr. Marr. Although my favorite Smiths tune “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” does have synthesized strings in it !
