My very favorite Pogues songs are Murshin Gurkin, South Australia, and Lorca's Novena.

See? If he would have picked up Rum Sodomy and the Lash he would still be with us today.

Waiting for Herb was the first CD I ever owned. Matter of fact, I owned it for a while before I even had a CD player. I'm a Creole/Mick/American that's made the journey and gotten drunk in Ireland, what do you want?

"Haunting" was a great jig from that album.

Red Roses For Me is a must.

Waxie's Dargle on that one is such a beautiful melody.
Outstanding album and the follow up EP Poguetry in Motion capture the early raw sound of the Pouges. Fucking love these cats. Shane was as Malcom McLaren once said once Sid, "a Beautiful disaster."

There was a time when I just could not stand the Pogues. Like sticking torture in my ears. But then one day I heard "Worms". I then went back and gave 'Red Roses For Me' and 'Rum, Sodomy and Lash' and found that I liked damn near every tune on those albums. So I guess the moral of the story is when a band you don't like has a song about worms, it might be worth giving them another chance.
