the pogues
what every neo-celtic punk pop band aspires to be (flogging molly, dropkick murphys, the t-ss-rs, etc). on vox, shane macgowan, a legend in his own right. contrary to popular belief, only some members of the pogues are from ireland. the first three lps, cl-ssic (red roses for me, rum sodomy and the lash, if i should fall from grace with g-d). alcoholism and rumored drug abuse accusations created a rift between shane and the rest of the band, leading to an eventual breakup. the pogues released alb-ms without shane, and shane formed his own band, the popes. there are many bands that have been influenced by the pogues, but the original is still the greatest.
the pogues are great. streams of whiskey, anyone?
simply one of the greatest bands of all time. no joke.
check out any of their alb-ms. brilliant writing
the name of said band comes from irish (or celtic) “pogue mahone” which means “kiss my -ss”.
pogue mahone means kiss my -ss.
