The Pogues
 

Sort of like Punk with mandolin's. I'll up some later.

Okay you've been here long enough to know how to use the search button. Also stop posting threads in general music if you know its punk then post it in the punk forum.

They're not really Punk, they have a good deal of Irish Folk and traditional dance. I just assumed there wouldn't be anything about them, since they're so obscure in America, where most of the users on here are from.

Oh fuck off, the Pogues were considered a punk band before you were even a stain on your dads sheets.

Not to be a stickler, but AMG doesn't even have them as punk. But anyway, anyone have any comments on the band?

Your beloved wikipedia under genre has punk rock and they're tagged as punk on last.fm.

I think they're strongly influenced by punk but they don't really belong in the punk forum. Which is why I put them in general. They can't really be categorized.

5/5

Punk they may be, but never use last.fm as a source for labelling bands.

If the Pogues are not considered a punk band , then I guess we'll have to stick all the Clash threads into the reggae forum.
