No, I'm not bored and going through Mat's tags in an ad hoc manner this morning, why do you ask?
I have to say that while I agree with Mister Mat on this particular pair of songs, the proposition that The Pogues are better than Queen in general is just ODD... Lyrically, the Pogues were great, but musically? They had ONE SONG, which they did over and over at varying tempos/in varying keys [/possibly mild exaggeration]. There's not a single Queen album that doesn't cover a bewildering variety of styles, and always with extreme competence. Yes, even Hot Space.
Personally, I think there's quite a big streak of Mister Mat that doesn't want to admit to liking some stuff because he thinks they're uncool. I'm happy to embrace my uncoolness. I know I'll never be hip, so I don't bother trying... [/intentional provocation]
