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 .

R.E.M

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.
