Must be Irish luck!
My personal favorite is still Rum Sodomy. This is such an excellent record that any Pogues fan should own it. . . . Pair of brown eyes still kill me. and as for the irish luck, i get to see the pogues play on actual st. patty's day in washington, dc! :-).


The Pogues at their grittiest best
The Pogues never were this good again, and I did like Hells Ditch and some of their other stuff, but this is their best. I played Fairytale of New York when I was breaking up with Dona 20 years ago; it made the "it's not you, it's me" sound plausible. Every song is good. A couple were in the movie Straight to Hell, which was a lost classic. Angsty, sweaty and sweet. A classic.


The best album ever!
It's absolutely the best album ever. I am amazed that this album has only 11 reviews to date, since it's era defining album from a band that defined a whole new music style, punkfolk. Having danced my teenage years away on Fiesta, who can disagree with this judgement? All the other Pogues albums are of course worth listening, especially Rum, Sodomy and the Lash, but this remains their peak. If you get the chance, see them live, since they're on the move again.


START HERE!!!
Mistake (which is not to say it's a bad album). I started with "Red Roses For Me" as my first Pogues album. I would say start with this one or "Rum, Sodomy & The Lash. " At any rate, the Pogues are definitely worth hearing, and this album is definitely one you should have if you dig them.


The Pogues' masterpiece
This contains two of my all-time favorite songs, hand-down, ANY genre (and I love all genres of music, from country to bluegrass to hard rock to rap to indy rock to gospel to. . you get the picture. . . )

TITLE TRACK (If I Should Fall from Grace with God). . . the joy in this song makes me feel glad to be alive. I love to blast this sucker when I'm driving fast, and sing along, and imagine myself in an Irish pub not giving a damn what anyone thinks, screaming the song along with Shane at the top of my lungs. . . what a simple, but brilliant song. . .

FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK One of the most gorgeous, honest, funny, brutal, moving songs EVER written, in my humble opinion. . .

Those two songs alone would make this CD (and their greatest hits CD) well worth getting. The fact that there are many other good songs on here is a bonus.

Pogue Mahone!.
