no kidding. as much as i love their music i never took the time to find out who was singing certain songs besides shane. Terry has a good voice for the songs style he writes. especially Everyman is a King, that voice compliments that music so well. and South Australia - one of my favorite songs of all time

Everyman is one of my favorites on P&L...

very true, it wouldn't be the same if Shane sang Young Ned

Mine too -- I love that one!!! I think it's my favorite of all of Terry's songs.

"South Australia" is in my all-time Pogues top ten, too.

Another stupid question, who sings The Wake Of The Madusa...I have that song stuck in my head, is it Spider?

**Thu Sep 15, 2005 12:41 pm**

correct. If you got the old edition of the Hell's Ditch CD the liner notes say who played what instrument in which song.

And, I have to warn, the credits are not always accurate.

Wow... For some reason I always pictured Mr. Chevron singing it. This is one of those cases where you have been doing something wrong for so long, and then you finally find out the correct way, and there you are; dumbfounded.

I've always found that their switching vocal duties is one of the things I enjoy greatly about The Pogues - they're all talented, and they're all given a chance to show what they can do (though in some cases they're not really given ocal time, but you know what I mean).

I always really enjoy the fact that as you listen to The Pogues you can tell that you're hearing a band, not a bunch of individuals counting the moments until their solo comes up. There are few solos in their music, and where they exist they seem to be relevant for the song, not just an opportunity to stroke somebody's ego.

It's a very satisfying feeling one gets from hearing somewhere between six and eight talented musicians working toward a common goal, and doing it so well. Yet at the same time The Pogues' music often has a feel of being on the edge of chaos, that with just a little nudge it could all fly apart. I think that's a lot of the fun too - that they sound as much like they're having fun challenging themselves as the listener is in following along. It's like being invited to the Cool People party every time the songs are played.

I'm rambling, and it's occured to me that what I've written has nearly no relationship at all to this thread.
