Morrissey is widely regarded as an important innovator in
the indie music scene; music magazine NME considers Morrissey
to be “one of the most influential artists ever”, while
The Independent says, “Most pop stars have to be dead before they reach the
iconic status he has reached in his lifetime.” In 2004, Pitchfork called him
“one of the most singular figures in Western popular culture from the last
20 years.”
BONA DRAG is a compilation album that features an array of Morrissey’s most popular songs from his early solo career, most of which had not been released on any previous album. The album name meaning nice outfit is an example of the subculture slang Polari explored further on the album's first track Piccadilly Palare.
