Good lists. I sometimes sell Boz short, but he has some fantastic co-writes. Black Cloud is another great Boz song.oliver wrote: ↑02 Feb 2022, 11:47amMuch as I would have loved a 5th real Smiths album in late 80s, splitting up when they did means there are no clunkers in the 60 or so songs Morrissey and Marr wrote together so it's impossible for Marr not to be the top Morrissey collaborator IMO... then probably Stephen Street
Between Boz and Alain, not sure I can pick but maybe Boz's peaks are slightly higher based on a quick top ten of each

It's curious that Boz has zero credits on I Am Not a Dog On a Chain. Jesse Tobias gets 6 of 11, Gustavo Manzur gets 3 of 11, with Mando getting the final 2.
That said, on Low in High School, Jesse only got 2 co-writes.
Boz is still listed as musical director, but I don't think he appeared on stage during his most recent Vegas performances. I believe that line up was Alain Whyte, Jesse Tobias, Gustavo Manzur, and Matt & Solomon Walker.
