Title: Quintessential Pogues
Product review: This album is the Pogues at their best. Every song is great, except for their cover of Eric Bogles' "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda", which is bloody disgraceful. They must have felt they had to have a go at it, as it is one of the most often covered modern folk songs ever written (along with "Dirty Old Town", which is also done on "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash", and much more competently). The Bushrangers version of "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is a much more sympathetic version.Anyway, apart from the above, this is a damn fine album.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
