tis' the ol' story of loiking The Pogues vs. Shaneo & Popes.. why does it have to be vs? both stories feature Shaneo, both are outstandoing, some people moight loike one or the other more or less, and oi meself maybe expressed beeing closer to Shaneo's solo work but in essence it looses the meaning cause theres brilliant stuff in both stories; its often when oi speak of how much oi loike Shane's solo work woith the Popes and cause oi choose many of those songs to perform, people start to thoink "hey, how can smn love Shane & Popes more than The Pogues"; for me its not some quantity stuff.. tis' not loike oi love foirst 52% and second 48%.. that would be stupid; for example, oim throilled in the same way when oi loisten to Oif oi should fall from grace woith God and when oi loisten Mother Mo Chroi from Crock of Gold
now, Crock of Gold is pure expression gold oif ya ask me.. Rock 'n' Roll Paddy, Paddy Rolling Stone & No.1, Mother Mo Chroi, Lonesome Hoighway etc. and same goes for Snake.. just recall of Aisling, Victoria, Donegal Express, Church Of The Holy Spook, That Woman's Got Me Droinkin'...
oif smn asks me, oid loike to see both, 3rd solo album by Shaneo & 8th album of The Pogues
I'd happily trade The Snake, Waiting For Herb, Crock of Gold and Pogue Mahone for a sixth Pogues album.
For the record, I prefer the Pogues without Shane to Shane without the Pogues. The Popes are just horrifically two dimensional far too much.
