Quote from: AustinPowers on November 30, 2023, 06:08:24 PMSince 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 .

Beatles
R.E.M
U2

Fair play Austin,  great work keeping all in order- I took a notion I'd go back and look at what was already covered, and was thinking,  Christ, 85 pages?  Looking forward to a few upcoming, my taste in music would be very broad, but at the same time shallow enough overall in that there wouldn't be that many bands or artists I could say I've listened to almost all or all of their work.  I like that looking at what others say often opens up a new opportunity that I wouldn't have known before.  A few humble suggestions to add to the list above when cleared might be Ocean Colour Scene,  James, Manic Street Preachers (was it my imagination or were they suggested and shotvdown?) and The National, but that mightn't be until the 30s!!

Ocean Colour Scene near deserves a thread of its own at this rate 🤣🤣
