Whos done the best cover of the pogues.

[duncan disorderly]

That lad who posted his version of "Dark Streets of London" on this site is up there with the best imho

im with johnty here.....covers should be different in my opinion so stand up and be counted whoever it was who done it!! (the acoustic one with the mouth organ ) .We are not worthy!

I like The Christy Moore version of Fairy tale .Well to be honest i like the intro about getting lost in a mushroom field the best.Brings back memories y know.

I like the German? vbersion of Rainy night in sho that is linked on this site also but thats cos its my favourite song anyway

[King of the Bop]

I was there as well. It was a nice surprise when they played that. One of my festival highlights.

Di they play the pogues version, or different way.

As well as I can remember it was faster than the original. I dont remember it that well, we were stunned that they were playing it in on a summer morning at Leeds!

In fact there are a few blank spaces in memory from that weekend.

Thats what I love about the song it doesn't have to be played on the xmas day in New York to enjoy it, it can be play anywhere in the world at any time of the year, and its still the best song ever written.
