Name your three favourite songs by... [Queen]

[AustinPowers]

Since learning of Shane MacGowan's death , I've struggled to pin down  my three favourite Pogues songs.

Been thinking of  a thread like this for a while , where you list your  three favourite songs by a band/singer , then  the absolute best of those three.

Then after a few days/a week or so , someone can select another band, and  we go again.

So , let's start with The Pogues. List your three favourite songs of theirs, then  highlight  your  absolute favourite .

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Body of An American
Rainy Night in Soho
Fairytale

Fairytale tops my list

[burdizzo]

Probably "Thousands Are Sailing" as the absolute favourite.
The other two would be "The Irish Rover" and "Turkish Song Of The Damned"

Excluding Fairytale which I hope will finally be made a Christmas #1.

The Broad Majestic Shannon
A Rainy Night in Soho
Summer in Siam

[AustinPowers]

1. Fairytale of New York
2. Misty Morning, Albert Bridge
3. Rainy Night in Soho

To be  honest, there are a dozen  or more  I could  have  included in  there. So many great tunes

Fairytale of New York

(Rainy night in Soho will always be there but I find eagle up tomorrow and change the other two for any of 15 or 20 more. Body of an American. A pair of brown eyes. Sally maclennane. London girl. Fairytale. Misty. Any of them.)

Thousands
Brown Eyes
Misty Morning

[Jell 0 Biafra]

I reject the premise. There can't be only three.

Haunted by the Ghost was never my favorite song at the time, but by God it's impossible to listen to it now without shedding a tear.
