Our Take

The Pogues' Original Album Series is a rollercoaster of Irish folk punk madness that will have you reaching for a pint of Guinness and dancing a jig faster than you can say "whiskey in the jar-o". This collection of five albums showcases the band's unique blend of traditional Irish ballads, punk rock attitude, and Shane MacGowan's iconic slurred vocals.

On their debut album, Red Roses for Me, The Pogues set the scene for what would become their signature sound. Songs like "Transmetropolitan" and "Streams Of Whiskey" are raucous tales of love, loss, and drunken debauchery that will have you singing along in no time.

Rum, Sodomy & the Lash is where The Pogues truly hit their stride, with classics like "The Sick Bed of Cuchulainn" and "A Pair of Brown Eyes" showcasing the band's storytelling prowess and musical prowess. Shane MacGowan's gravelly voice has never sounded better than on this album, adding depth and emotion to each track.

If you're looking for a good time, look no further than The Pogues' Original Album Series. From the rebellious spirit of "If I Should Fall from Grace with God" to the haunting melancholy of "Peace and Love", this collection has something for everyone. So grab a pint, turn up the volume, and let The Pogues take you on a wild ride through Irish punk paradise. Cheers to that!

About the artist

The Pogues

In the grand scheme of things, there are few bands as legendary and enigmatic as The Pogues. Led by the one and only Shane MacGowan, this ragtag group of Irish misfits burst onto the music scene in the early 1980s, combining traditional Irish folk music with punk rock attitude in a way that had never been seen before. With their raucous live shows, Pogue Mahone - as they were originally known - quickly made a name for themselves as one of the most exciting and unpredictable bands in the UK. Fueled by copious amounts of whiskey and a devil-may-care attitude, The Pogues became synonymous with wild nights and even wilder music. But it wasn't just their rowdy reputation that set The Pogues apart - it was their music. With classics like "Fairytale of New York" and "Dirty Old Town," the band proved that they were more than just a bunch of drunken louts. Their songs were poignant, poetic, and undeniably powerful, showcasing MacGowan's raw talent as a songwriter and frontman. Of course, The Pogues weren't without their controversies. MacGowan's battle with addiction and the band's tumultuous relationships with each other often threatened to tear them apart. But through it all, they managed to create some of the most timeless and unforgettable music of their generation. So, whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the impact that The Pogues have had on the world of music. With their infectious energy, irresistible charm, and unmatched talent, they truly are a band like no other.
