What are your favorite Shane solo songs?

Post Fri Nov 16, 2007 6:20 pm

Victoria
Haunted
St. John of Gods
Mother Moi Chroi

I rate Shane's solo albums way below the Pogues albums but you would expect that.

I like all of Shanes music! I am not one of those people who feel the Pogues music is far superior to the Popes. I do feel as a live show however that the Pogues are a much better band, as most if not all would agree. I would say I listen to Shane and the Popes as much as I listen to the Pogues.

My Favorite Shane MacGowan and the Popes songs are:

Aisling
The Snake with Eyes of Garnet
Paddy Rolling Stone
Back in the county Hell
Mother Mo Chroi
Chino's Place

I also really like the songs he did with Nick Cave "Lucy" and The Jesus and Marry Chain "God help me!"

To me, "St John of Gods" is Shane´s standout track. But there are lots of other gems - "Aisling", "Song with no name", "Mother mo chroi" etc.

The only song I never cared much about is "A mexican funeral in Paris". It´s not my kind of music, so I Always skip that one when listening to The Snake.

Oh, and "Will you come the bower" and "Spanish lady" always sounded a bit uninspired to me. I think they lack a bit of energy.

Hands down...

Also love, St. John of Gods, Donegal Express and Céilídh Cowboy
And I don't want no grave
Just throw my ashes in the field
And hope there's some soul left to save
