Now then... as much as I love The Pogues, and indeed their version of "When The Ship Comes In"... to suggest it's better than Dylan's version is plainly ludicrous...

(The Braggster did a nifty version of it at the Folk Britannia shindig a couple of years ago, as well)

Having recently played Uncle Bob's version (and as much as I really, really love his work) I'm happy to stand by my ludicrous (and correct) statement

FWIW, Both Braggy & Mick Thomas do really good versions of, "To Make You Feel My Love", but I have no further comment on whether they're better:lol:
