Favourite Pogues/Shane MacGowan And The Popes Song?
Pogues- "Lullaby Of London"
Shane and The Popes- "Haunted"
Oh there are just too many. London Girl, Dirty Old Town, Fairytale of New York, and The Body of an American are among my favorites. I can't wait to see Shane and the Pogues here in New York on March 18th.
shareThey're awesome live - saw them in Birmingham, England on their Christmas tour in both 2004 and 2005. As you say, there are far too many great songs to just pick out one - The Irish Rover, Birmingham Six, Repeal Of The Licensing Laws, If I Should Fall From Grace With God, The Broad Majestic Shannon, Young Ned Of The Hill, etc. Have fun when you see them live.
sharePogues: Among them are Gartloney Rats, A Pair of Brown Eyes, Thousands Are Sailing, Young Ned of the Hill, White City, and A Fairytale of New York.
Several Popes favorites: The Snake With Eyes of Garnet, Aisling, Nancy Whiskey, The Donegal Express, Haunted

I love Aisling, Snake With Eyes of Garnet, Donnegal Express and St. John of God's. Shane is an amazing talent. Say no more! I believe he is far more together than the media like to make people think. They have had him as nearly dead for almost twenty five years, yet he just did a sell out, USA east coast tour. So go figure!
shareForgot to say, that tour was with the original Pogues lineup minus Cait O'Riordan.... I was at the St. Paddy's day show in NYC and it was awesome.
shareThe Broad Majestic Shannon, White City, and If I Should Fall From Grace With God.
