KharBevNor:

--- Quote ---The Pogues were a popular Irish folk rock band of the 1980s and 90s. They had a strong following, providing music which remains largely unique to this day.

The Pogues were founded in London in 1982 as Pogue Mahone — "pogue mahone" being the Anglicization of the Irish póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse." The band specialised in Irish folk music often played with the energy of the punk rock scene from which several of the members had their roots.

I <3 Wikipedia

soak:
I love that they play 'And the band played waltzing matilda'. I remember having to sing that at school and i think it sounds so much better coming from drunken Irish men than 30 odd school kids.

Se7en:
I stand corrected.

Gryff:
I think most of the members were actually English, weren't they? Obviously Shane MacGowan was Irish though.

Also, I prefer If I Should Fall From Grace With God

La Creme:
I vote "Turkish Song Of The Damned" and "Blue Heaven" (despite its corniness factor).
