“Fairytale of New York” and “Thousands Are Sailing” are, perhaps, The Pogues’ two most extraordinary storytelling ballad masterpieces. And its simply remarkable that they both appear on the same album, the transcendent “If I Should Fall From Grace With God“.

I’ve read that The Mahones do the definitive cover of this song. Unfortunately, it’s nowhere to be found.

Definitive Cover

I was tempted to put this in the competition but The Pretenders’ cover is almost iconic and I saw at least one critic call it the definitive version. Don’t know about that but it certainly is a medalist!
