awesome album
I love the Pogues,Shane's lyrics always tell a story and I love they're old Irish folk sound!A great buy would recommend it . I'm so pleased with my purchase.


It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunk tank...
If you aren't familiar with their work, this is a great place to start. The title isn't lying - these are the Pogues songs that you'll sing (or drunkenly mumble) along to with a grin on your face, a pint (or six) of stout in your belly and a little tear in your eye.


"God is in 'is heaven, and Billy's down by the bay!"
Here, I think with this comp, plus one other album, "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash", you'd have the best of all possible Pogues worlds. I go back and forth on compilations - depending on the artist, sometimes it's best to have the individual, complete albums, other times a comp will serve just fine. . .

But, all the hot sh-t greatest stuff is here, including hard to find chestnuts, like "Irish Rover", and my own Pogues fave, "Rainy Night in Soho" (apparently not the original EC-produced version, but a string drenched, but still really nice re-make).

Note
Just as a note Shane was not born in london, he was born in kent while his family was on vacation. Great music. He was lived in Tipperary, Ireland until he was 6 then moved to London.


Shane McGowan is the voice of Pub Music
Heck, he was born in London and has a superhuman tolerance for intoxicants. OK, so he isn't. Neverteheless, he's a musical genius, and sings wih a voice we all wish we had when we were drunk. I doff my hat.

Here's to ya, here's tward ya, hadn't a metya, wouldn't a known ya.
