I had the cassette so I always thought A Pistol For Paddy Garcia was part of the original album for years. Another great track but the whole album is superb.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
This is head and shoulders my favorite Pogues album (almost every time I feel like listening to the Pogues it’s this one and I’m set) and this is hard as hell. I legit thought some other songs would make the cut but these are the ones I’m most likely to have stuck in my head.
I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day
A Pair of Brown Eyes
The Sick Bed of Cúchulainn
Dirty Old Town

This is almost my exact list, but I'd replace Navigator with The Old Main Drag.Wolter wrote: ↑23 Jul 2020, 12:56pmThis is head and shoulders my favorite Pogues album (almost every time I feel like listening to the Pogues it’s this one and I’m set) and this is hard as hell.

I've listened to the Pogues by my own choice like twice ever. (meaning not counting radio or someone else put it on)

Dunno why but never liked Dirty Old Town, just not down with it. On other hand i adore Old Main Drag, bit surprised not on more lists.

I think it's a great cover. Really suits Shane's vocal. But each to their own.Low Down Low wrote: ↑23 Jul 2020, 3:45pmDunno why but never liked Dirty Old Town, just not down with it. On other hand i adore Old Main Drag, bit surprised not on more lists.

I understand its a minority opinion, i think its one of those i just heard too many times, especially fellas belting it out in a pub late at night because it was the one song they'd remember the words to! But objectively i have great respect for it.Marky Dread wrote: ↑23 Jul 2020, 3:47pmI think it's a great cover. Really suits Shane's vocal.
