Kitty, without any doubt
and Dark Streets of London
and The Auld Triangle - Poor Paddy - Boys from the county hell
Then they'll take you to Cloughprior
Shove you in the ground
But you'll stick your head back out and shout
"Let's have another round!"

Damn quality album, your comments have made me lose faith with just the few favourites I had and equally enjoy the whole lot!

:D

Sea Shanty - often underrated - - a personal favorite.

Kitty - as more time passes, this song becomes more of a staple for me.

Transmetropolitan - What a firestarter!! I've kick-started a few Saturday night with this one.

Transmetropolitan. Is it the longest word ever used in a song?

I think Red Roses gets most play of any of the albums here. No idea which is my favourite track, but Greenland Whale Fisheries always gets us dancing.
Likes the warm feeling but is tired of all the dehydration.

I´ll agree. Greenland is one of the best songs, but the whole CD is PURE CLASS. :D

I'd have to say Kitty is my favourite, though I also love Down In The Ground, Dark Streets and Transmetropolitan

Impossible to rate.
However, "Boys" and "Streams" allow superhuman adrenaline rushes when played loudly. Both songs allow the mind to shift into another gear. Whether running the last mile of a marathon in 4 minutes, benchpressing a pickup truck or downing the final beer of a case started noon, these tunes stoke the fire.
The rest of the album isn't too far behind.

Impossible to decide between Boys from the County Hell and Transmetropolitan. Right now RRFM is my favourite Pogues album.

Always liked Transmetropolitan just for the manic pace in which it is hammered out but Streams of whisky always sticks in my mind and it's a tune I whistle when I walk down the street. RRFM is a great album though and i don't reallly think that there is a bad song on on it.

1. Waxie's Dargle
2. Transmetropolitan
3. The Auld Triangle
4. Sea Shanty
5. Boys From the County Hell
6. Down in the Ground Where the Dead Men Go
7. Streams of Whiskey
8. Dark Streets of London
9. Kitty
10. Greenland Whale Fisheries
11. Dingle Regetta
12. The Battle of Brisbane
13. Poor Paddy
