quote: I don't really see how Joni Mitchell is any more innovative or influential than Van Morrison. Look at the respect all the bands give Van in the Last Waltz too, where he stole the show That purple jump suit, sexy!

Phil Chevron wrote thousands are sailing. Agree on Mcgowan though.

yeah he joined in 85.Was in the radiators b4 that. Now playing again with both bands. always sings thousands are sailing live with pogues now. hes got a nice voice but lacks the grit and passion mcgowan brings to it.

Dont know if he was mentioned already but Dave Couse is and was criminally underrated. Probably a bit too sarcastic for the masses but he gets my vote. Paul Cleary from The Blades is up there too.
