I've played it between Hey Sa-Lo-Ney by Mickey Lee Lane and Land of 1000 Dances by Wilson Picket and the folk on the dancefloor never blinked an eye. Tremendous!

I currently rate Drunken Boat as the most overlooked pogues tune.

yes - love that one and another one which isn't a Pogues original, the Parting Glass. On a completely different theme (which I suppose says a lot about the band) and not sure if it's underrated as such but I can also listen to London Girl over and over.

I agree with you on Lorca's Novena. It's not just underrated, it is so brilliant one wonders why it is underappreciated to begin with.

I like 'The Limerick Rake', but also think 'Misty Morning, Albert Bridge' is a real beauty.

I agree -- "Misty Morning" is one of the most gorgeous songs the Pogues ever did.

Agreed Lorelei is a beautiful song. Also Bastard Landlord I feel never gets the credit it deserves
