A relative of mine caught a very nasty disease from riding on an elephant. Beware!

I think Fiesta sounds like a total wedding reception song, although it is fun to watch live. (But Spidey needs to cut out the beer tray Whack-a-mole thing he's got going on with his head. He's going to give himself brain damage!)

Please don't put words into my mouth, I never said I didn't like any of the above mentioned songs, I just don't categorize them with being cream of the crop of Pogues songs. I don't think any of those songs are bad, I just tend not to listen to them as much.

Sorry pogues24, my mistake. This forum is called "Most Overrated Songs, not "Songs You Don't Like"(!) So, oops, I apologize. And maybe there are people out there who don't like Wake of the Medusa, and that's okay too. I'm not here to judge people's tastes, so I'll choose my words more carefully from now on. Just goes to show the power of the written word. No hard feelings?

None what so ever any fan of The Pogues is a friend of mine, welcome to the forum, look forward to more of your posts.

May the road rise,

Thanks Iain , (see above) Part of my problem with writing on this forum is the fact that I haven't figured out how to use the damn smiley faces and the quote function. When I try to click on those, my computer comes up with a description of the image, but not the actual image. So, I might come across as a bit bitchy 'cause no smiley face after the remark! I guess I could resort to the old fashioned way Angela

And people only tend to know that Dirty Old Town,Irish Rover or FONY when they think of the Pogues.So bit bored of it.

Yeah that's true. But I think this is a normal thing for people who are not really into that particular band...for example people who don't listen to Johnny Cash surely know "Ring of Fire" or "I walk the line" or maybe "Man in Black" because they are so popular and well-known...but that doesn't make those songs bad. Well, everybody's got his own opinion...

I dislike "Tuesday Morning" to be honest...I think Spider wrote far better songs which are not so well-known...because "Tuesday" seems to be the most well-known song from the late-Pogues-era without MacGowan.
