He is my favorite artist, and I've been fortunate enough to meet him twice(helluva nice guy), but my "fandom" enRAB there. I dont give a **** if he wears Prada/gucci or anything else, I like his music. I do think he's underrated as a songwriter, and a few of his discs are very underrated as well(Bona Drag/Vauxhall and I come to mind), and I think anything past VH&I has been a sorta step down for him musically, but i still like him.
I'm completely straight, and have no desire to sleep with him, I do think he's cool, and is a very good/underrated singer.
But, I do know, and see what you mean. Some folks go a little too overboard about him, thats their gig though.
My opinion is...I feel the same way in a sense about Radiohead, Coldplay and Tool, as you do about Morrissey. I've had to sit through many nights listening to their *ahem* music, and to this day: I dont "get it". I'm sure they're fabulous musicians, and im sure they're the best band on the planet...blah blah ****ing blah, but i just dont like any of them.
As for The Smiths: very underrated band in my opinion. Best of the '80s? I wouldnt go that far(and im a huge Morrissey/Smiths fan).
