Love You Till The End

By demonstrating that the spirit of punk could live in traditional Irish folk music, the Pogues were one of the most radical bands of the mid-'80s. Led by Shane MacGowan, whose slurred, incomprehensible voice often disguised the sheer poetry of his songs, the Pogues were undeniably political. Not only were many of their songs explicitly in favour of working-class liberalism, but the wild, careening sound of their punk-injected folk was implicitly radical. While the band was extreme, they also had a wickedly warped sense of humour, which was abundantly clear on their biggest hit, the fractured Christmas carol 'Fairy Tale of New York.'

The Pogues reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s, recording several hit albums and singles. The group's first three albums Red Roses for Me, Rum Sodomy & the Lash, If I Should Fall from Grace with God; were widely praised in both Britain and America - before breaking up in 1996. They reformed in late 2001, and played regularly across the UK and Ireland and on the US East Coast, until dissolving again in 2014. The group did not record any new material during this second incarnation.
