5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect mix of punk and Irish folk..., November 24, 2004
By WeezyBoPeep (RUSTIC NORTHERN MD) - See all my reviews
The Pogues are one hell of a band. No other Irish folk band that I've heard can actually play as well as these guys. Shane's drunken voice makes you feel like you're in the old green country.

The punk elements on this cd are awesome too. I recommend it to anyone who likes who likes punk such as the Pistols...I've heard Rotten and MacGowan are friends and used to hang out together when they were in the 70's London punk scene.

This cd represents the Pogues very well- it has a great mixture of their music, my personal favs being "Body of an American," "Streams of Whiskey," and "The Old Main Drag," (a grim tale of a young man's early experience of first arriving in London from Ireland). Also worth noting is the fact that Joe Strummer from The Clash produced a bunch of tracks on here.

5.0 out of 5 stars "God is in 'is heaven, and Billy's down by the bay!", December 7, 2005
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. 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...

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).

5.0 out of 5 stars It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunk tank..., May 25, 2006
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. If you aren't familiar with their work, this is a great place to start.

OK, so he isn't. Heck, he was born in London and has a superhuman tolerance for intoxicants. Neverteheless, he's a musical genius, and sings wih a voice we all wish we had when... Read more
