Shane should have had his own thread a looooooooooong time ago.

He´s my alltime favourite vocalist, and one of the greatest songwriters ever.

 

[tartanterrier]

This is my favourite one of his :thefinger

 

[clogselfe]

Probably the best singer ever!

I've been to see The Pogues/Shane McGowan a few times. Excellently rambunctious gig experiences!!

 

[Ace Bandage]

Well, I've never heard of him, so clearly he's irrelevant. And if my puppeteering friend above knows who he is, I probably wouldn't like him anyway... :hatsoff:

 

[mrtrebus]

You've seriously never ever heard Fairytale of New York?!? The best xmas song ever. . .I pity you.

 

[Ace Bandage]

A Christmas song? GTFO! I don't listen to Christmas music; it makes my ears bleed.

 

[mrtrebus]

Well, that's probably the one that those who aren't Pogues fans would know.

PS I take your comment (And if my puppeteering friend above knows who he is, I probably wouldn't like him anyway...) as probably the biggest compliment I could receive! :hatsoff:

Never heard A Pair of Brown Eyes by The Pogues...that's a pity. It's a great song!

Nope. Don't particularly care either. Do you know (without looking at Wikipedia) who holds the record for best finish in three consecutive Indy 500s? Who shot Archduke Ferdinand? When was "The Ice Bowl was played?" Who was the losing general at the Battle of Gettysburg?

My point is that people have different interests. I don't know who the fuck the guy is? Big deal. I've survived this long and my heart is still beating. It probably will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I could name off some bands you've never heard of and say it's a pity you haven't heard them. Get over it!

 

[mrtrebus]

Eh?!? You don't care SO much that you commented on the thread about a singer/songwriter you've never heard of? What decidedly odd behaviour sir!

Are there restrictions here? I read the name and thought it looked familiar. I clicked on the thread, saw the album, and didn't recognize him. Then I decided to increase my post count. Voila!

Oh, I am.

Oooo! :tongue:

PS - thanks for informing us that "people have different interests"!

Your welcome, despite the sarcasm. Now back on topic before Baill beats us up...

Wow my Boiler friend. You are really misssing out on music by the Pogues. Too bad Jason got banned, he would set you straight.

Favorite lines from Fairytale:

It was Christmas Eve babe, In the drunk tank.......



You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

 

[habo9]

I dont really like him either , a few mates like them & go to his gigs

But not for me
