Morrissey is a Indie rock and Rap act. Their sound grew out of Jesse Tobias, Stephen Street, Guillemots, Mark Bedford and Actress. Those roots explain a lot about how Morrissey arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Smiths, The Cure, James, The Wedding Present and The Jam, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Cloakroom, Cornershop, Nothing, The Monochrome Set and Autumn's Grey Solace, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 90 connections around Morrissey, reaching back through Jesse Tobias and forward to Cloakroom.
