The Pogues
 

Well, I know that the music really dosen't belong to the Punk Forum, it is more folk or irish dance folk,but I think that the lyrics and jokes are of a punky nature...so after much deliberation, I decided to put the thread here.
I LOVE the Pogues, if you have never heard them, you will get one hell of a laugh, and it is kinda a pick me up sometimes....
To those who already know and like them, rock on! :band:

The Pogues are awsome. Best song is Turkish Song of The Dammed. Definetly one of my favorite irish flavored punk bands. If you dont know yet the pogues were originally pogues mahone and they put out some stuff under that name too that is super good too. I really like that band.

cool, thanx for the tip!~

Acctually thank you. When I read this I was having a pretty lousy day then I remembered how good the pogues were and put in a couple cds. After Rum Sodomy, and The lash" and "If I should fall from grace with god" playing back and forth on random for an hour my night turned very well. With that said as an addition to my favorites pogues songs I have to add
Down in the ground where the dead men go
If I should fall from grace with god
Dark streets of london
Billy Bones
House of the gods

how about Fairy Tales of New York and Irish Drinking song?
did you know that the Dropkick Murphy's did a rendition of that too, very good I might add....

I think like, four hundred bands did Irish Drinking Song

Or just four from what I've heard.

Hey Anarchy, this does belong in the punk forum mate.....Im Irish and they're regarded as one of punks greats here in Dublin anyway. Fair play, they're great stuff and McGowan is a brilliant lyricist.

Yeah...I have always had a thing for an irish accent...very sexy...lol!

They're okay for being irish/scottish/whatever punk
