Re: the pogues

Elaborate?

EDIT:
after a quick wiki

The Pogues are a band of mixed Irish and English background, playing traditional Irish music with influences from punk rock, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. They reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s, until MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems. They continued with first Joe Strummer and then Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996.[1] The band began performing together again in 2001, though they have yet to record new music.

Re: the pogues

I can wiki too, you know. But I mean, before I trouble myself with listening to 10 or so songs, only to find out they suck, I ask how good they are from people who know them, group of which you obviously arent part!

Anyway, I like flogging molly and dropkick murphys. Will i like the pogues?

Re: the pogues

They're not too bad, but they're not that great either. A little example:

Re: the pogues

Fairytale of New York is indeed the best Christmas song ever!

You scumbag you [w00f], you cheap lousy maggot, merry Christmas you arse , I pray God it's our last.

It really captures the spirit big_smile

Other than that the songs I have heard are pretty bad.

Re: the pogues

Depends how much you like folk music really... they're not 100% folk music, just.. very much having that inclination

Re: the pogues

well, all depends on your style of music, I may think they suck (and I do) but others may think that they are good. So, getting peoples opinions on something is simply just that, someone else's opinion. Since it's not your own, it's difficult to accept, because it's simply not yours. Opinions are similar to beliefs, in regards to acceptability. If I give you my belief, it's not your belief to begin with, therefore difficult or unable to; accept.

Re: the pogues

The Dubliners did make it famous indeed.
And I consider that to be Metallica's only good song tongue They wandered off enough to actually make an entire new song out of it..
