Favourite Pogues Song

Of course I can disagree with it. Doesnā€™t make my opinion any more valid but it is just that - an opinion.

A Pair of Brown Eyes*.

  • not a Pogues devotee though.

You disagree that itā€™s rockos favourite Pogues song?

Yeah. Itā€™s Rainy Night in Soho. He had it as his favourite song ever in the poll you set up a couple of years back. It was also his first dance at his wedding.

Christ. Hipster Pogues fans. :rolleyes:

Fairytale of New York. :clap::pint:

Fuck you @Rocko

Apology accepted @Mac[/USER] and @[USER=706]Fagan ODowd

Iā€™m not apologising. Iā€™m sorry but thatā€™s just the way I am.

Yeah go fuck yourself @farmerinthecity

Donā€™t mind em Farmer, you won, thats all that matters on the internet.

On a Rainy Night in Soho is a perfect song. Body of an American may have overtaken it as favourite Pogues song since The Wire.

Some points.

  1. My first dance at my wedding was not a true indicator of my favourite song. It needed to meet the approval of Mrs Rocko, which ruled out Roll of Honour and it needed to be appropriate for a slow dance, again ruling out Roll of Honour.
  2. The poll a couple of years back involved lots of tactical voting. There was a discussion on that thread about it. I promoted Rainy Night in Soho believing it would gain mainstream and widespread support whereas some of the other songs in contention were divisive.
  3. That being said, Rainy Night in Soho is indeed my favourite Pogueā€™s song. It was already mentioned so I thought Iā€™d pick another one.

The cadillac stood by the house. And the yanks they were within.
And the tinker boys they hissed advice ā€˜Hot-wire her with a pinā€™

For me itā€™s Broad Majestic Shannon, so many great lines in that one that itā€™s impossible to pick.
As I walked down by the riverside is a cracking tune as well.
