My favorite is always rotating. Depends on time, mood etc.
Right now it might be "Sayonara".

**Mon Mar 22, 2004 4:51 am**

That's a tough question.

I'd say "Sick Bed of Cuchulainn" (see username

) or maybe "Thousands Are Sailing."

**Mon Mar 22, 2004 8:22 pm**

either Tuesday Morning or The Girl From the Wadi Hammamat

They're always changing for me, but currently I've been getting my fix from tunes like the Broad Majestic Shannon and Billy's Bones....

**Tue Mar 23, 2004 4:36 am**

Holy crap, forgot about "House of the Gods" off Hell's Ditch. That song rocks!

billy's bones is great, have you heard the dropkick murphys cover? much faster and harder, but if you're into that kind of stuff, you will definetly love it

i've been wanting the singles collection for a while (that's the only album it's on right?) but i keep getting other stuff. i still haven't heard that cover though.

oh well. i bet it sucks. the only band to ever cover a pogues song well is the tossers, because they took one of their crappy ones and made it good. (young ned of the hill).

**Wed Mar 24, 2004 1:53 am**

it doesnt suck, and i have the singles collection, and its worth the buy, it's with the old singer, mike mcColgan

**Wed Mar 24, 2004 1:56 am**

yeah, i like that guy. i was disappointed when i bought their split CD with the business 'cause i though mike was the singer then instead of al.

Yes, I've heard it...and it is pretty good. They definetly added their patented "Boston Irish punk" sound to it, and brought out the balls of the song.........I think that they also might have covered the Clash songs Guns of Brixton or White Riot in the past, if memory serves me......

yes they did, they also covered the rocky road to dublin

**Wed Mar 31, 2004 5:37 am**

i don't like the dkm version of it very much. no one can compare to the sexadociousness the dubliners did it with.

My favorite Pogue song would have to be Down In The Ground Where The Dead Men Go. It has good lyrics about an important event in Irish history, I also like the 2 singers thing, makes it unique.

Not to mention good ol' Cait (as well as the rest of the band) screaming her lungs out!!

Whenever I get someone who has never listned to The Pogues before I always play that song to see the expression on their faces when the howling starts towards the end of the song.
