Vauxhall and I is a 1994 album by Morrissey, generally considered his best. The release cemented Morrissey's success in the US, giving him a top 20 album and his first hit single with the song "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get." Vauxhall and I represents Morrissey at his most mature and reflective. Several songs see the artist commenting on his mistakes and on the course his life has taken. With its blend of guitar rock, largely acoustic ballads, and wry classic rock, Vauxhall and I stands in stark contrast Morrissey's other work. It is distinguished by its ironic and introspective nature as well as its somber and emotional mood. The lead single off the album, "The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get" became the only song by Morrissey or the Smiths to achieve chart success in the United States, where it reached #46 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also became a #1 Modern Rock Tracks chart hit. In the United Kingdom, the song hit #8 and was the only single by Morrissey to reach the top ten during the 1990s. The album's title appears to be a reference to the 1987 film, Withnail and I. Vauxhall is an area of London, and there is also a British car manufacturer of the same name.
