    3.0 out of 5 stars Barrel-scraping, July 7, 2003
    By 
    Greekfreak (Pusan Korea (South)) - See all my reviews
    This review is from: Rest of the Best (Audio CD)
    In the CD age, it's hard to pick the scum from the gems--the first "The Best Of The Pogues" (the one with the orange cover) is a 4 or 5 star affair; wisely it picked the majority of material from the bands first three albums (wisely leaving out the debut "Red Roses For Me") and left out all material from the final two lacklustre albums ("Peace & Love", "Hell's Ditch").

    On this release, the deed is done; there's a few tunes on here that are worth owning, but those who love the band already have the albums they want--and the covers contained within (the Stones' "Honky Tonk Women", and "Yeah Yeah Yeah") aren't really worth the money you'll spend buying this.

    For completists only.

    This review is from: Rest of the Best (Audio CD)
    some good songs like Turkish song of the damned are spoiled by being too drunk or stoned. Could have been great...
