After the Smiths broke up in 1987, Morrissey released a half-dozen solo albums and way more singles in the 10 years after the split. He made videos for most of them. He's slowed down a bit since, putting out only three records in the past decade. Here are the 10 Best Morrissey Videos of the past quarter century.

  • 'Alma Matters'

    'Maladjusted,' from 1997, isn't a very good album. But its lead single, 'Alma Matters,' is classic Moz. The video features a bunch of brawling lads. Go figure.

  • 'Irish Blood, English Heart'

    Morrissey's last great album, 2004's 'You Are the Quarry,' includes a couple of popular singles, like this one, which gets a typically stylish video.

  • 'Last of the Famous International Playboys'

    This non-album single, which came out between his first and second albums is one of his best songs. It's based on real-life London gangsters.

  • 'The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get'

    One of two No. 1 modern-rock songs Morrissey scored in the '90s, 'The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get' comes with an artsy black-and-white video.

  • 'My Love Life'

    Between his second and third solo albums, Morrissey released the somber 'My Love Life.' He cruises around town with some pals in the video.

  • 'November Spawned a Monster'

    Morrissey kicks around in the desert in this video for this 1990 single, which eventually ended up on the compilation album 'Bona Drag.'

  • 'Suedehead'

    Morrissey's first solo single, from 1988, is very Smiths-like. The video doesn't do much -- Moz pretty much just walks around town -- but it suits the song's mood.

  • 'Tomorrow'

    The No. 1 modern-rock hit, from 1992's 'Your Arsenal' (his best solo album), is straight-up Morrissey: black and white and bustling with an alley stroll.

  • 'We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful'

    Another killer cut from the 'Your Arsenal' album. Morrissey gets a little playful in this colorful video for 'We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful.'

  • 'The Youngest Was the Most Loved'

    The 2006 album 'Ringleader of the Tormentors' wasn't a huge hit. But this video -- featuring a handcuffed Morrissey -- is somewhat striking.
