We will be in touch
As it were
Not sure what the question is, but assuming it's about the band...Rum, Sodomy & the Lash is good starting point.
If you like the faster stuff, try Flogging Molly, if you like it more mellow look up McDermotts 2 Hours.
Rum, Sodomy and the lash. Agree.
or start in reverse with Hell's Ditch (which is less Irish) for a different approach (ooooooo matron).
Thanks!
"if I should fall from the Grace of God" is my fav...
Rum Sodomy and the Lash +1 and also If I Should Fall from the Grace of God.
Transmetropolitan yip ay yay!
Red Roses For Me of course, but Rum.. is more polished.
Good ways into the Pogues? Pull some teeth out and gargle on whiskey and broken windscreens. Hth.
+1 for Red roses for me then Rum etc. Imho If I Should Fall From Grace is a bit patchy (but worth buying for "thousands are sailing" alone) and marked the start of their decline. I think it was about the release of this when Macgowan was asked about somebody else joining the band came out with the line "...they might as well, everyone else is...."
Slightly of point I always thought Haunted was one of their best singles
