And to think that for decades you had virtually the best set of ears In the business. What’s gone wrong JK? I was in the UK music business in those days. Agree that JK had an ear for a hit but this choice of Xmas record cannot be for real. Can it? If so, things have gone downhill. But FONY was a hit so that side of his hearing was/is fine...Or are you both just saying that JK had/has the besttaste in music; which I am going to take a wild punt and say broadly coincides with your own? I think you are both merely saying that you don't enjoy FONY; but trying to infer you are somehow also possessed of magical "showbiz" ears as a result. But you aren't: because it was a hit.

Interestingly the song's writer was Kirsty MacColl's father I agree there are probably better pure renditions of the song but the grittiness of Pogues version gives it an authenticity and character that matches the lyrics perfectly
Tinpot	Only an eejit would consider "Streets Of Sorrow/Birmingham Six" to be a pro-IRA song. Educate yourself, robbiex.
