@cnmfromOz you're right, there's no comparison, but fair play to Shane McGowan for contributing to keep the Irish folk tradition alive and kicking.
-
after some digging i actually found that this is actually the oldest railway song we have record of anywhere!!!!!!!!! so literally its the worlds first train song, good goin ireland!!!!!!!!!!!
-
this song makes me proud to be a railfan of irish descent!!!!!!!
-
There will never be another one like Luke that's for sure. What a brilliant bastard.
-
@cnmfromOz yeah macgowan isn't known for his voice.......he made the music of ireland popular to the masses using punk rock music. Not a great singer but great songwriter. Luke is the greatest balladeer of all time. It's too bad the two never met, would have been something special to hear Kelly singing the likes of Rainy NIght in soho or Fairytale of New York.

@cnmfromOz To each his own, but I think you're missing the appeal of the Pogues. I love both the Dubliners and the Pogues but diction and perfect pitch have nothing to do with why the Pogues are great. A lot of the appreciation of the Pogues comes from the raw energy and enthusiasm in their songs.
There is no way the Pogues can compare to the Dubs, but the opposite is also true...both bands have their strengths. It really depends on which strength you'd prefer.

I have just listened to the Pogues version as some suggest they are as good as Luke. I know some people really love the Pogues but I haven't seen one song of theirs that you can understand or easily listen to. McGowan is a very good lyricist, apparently, but not perhaps the best singer. Sorry fans, but Luke has fantastic diction and perfect pitch so there really is no comparison.
