you don't have to peel apples but oranges just have that tangy awesomeness to them... for some reason i can't decide!

point taken, however I was trying to make a point about revivals / reinventions of traditional music. Plus they are both often imitated never equaled.

Are the Pogues often imitated?

C'mon - Shane is a better role model than any of the Cramps.

I refuse to choose, but mostly because both of these bands (which I love dearly) have pretty much nothing in common.

The Cramps. Really, it's got to be The Cramps vs. just about anything. The Pogues are very, very good indeed, though.
