Fuck it, buy all of them, greatest band that's ever been there, full stop. I realise from time to time, that the Pogues really changed my life and will always be the greatest for me...it's something my family and mates don't really understand, but I fucking love this band forever and ever and ever...I'm just glad to be able to listen to this wonderful stuff...well, to answer your question: buy all albums! all seven are worth it, because you'll simple find out that you are listening to the greatest fucking band that's ever walked this fucking earth! Cheers! See ya in London, can't wait to see you again! :) Cheerio ;)

Danny deputised for Andrew just a very few times. He made some further appearances with The Pogues as an additional percussionist for a short while.

I was disappointed because I had the bootleg, and then bought the release. Then I found it was the same damn recording. Oh well.

Sorry about that. The Pogues did not approve the release of that CD, which had only been available, in various forms, as a bootleg. The deputy drummer was Danny Heatley, who later played with The Popes.

I've always understood it to have no meaning whatever, but please feel free to invent meaning, you will certainly not be alone.

I disagree. I think buying a best of is kind of a waste if you have already come to the realization that the Pogues are the stuff. I think IISFFGWG is a great place to start. A close second would be RS&TL. If, on teh other hand, you were coming at it from a folk/trad background, then maybe RRFM would be a better pick. BUT, in the end you will buy all three and more.

Staying on topic here, Walshy's probably right. The "Ultimate .." is the best starter disc for a Pogues newbie to pick up (especially for a fiver or less in an online auction) Kudos Walshy. 8)

My choice, based on a CD I made for myself before I came to China.

1. Metropolis
2. If I Should Fall From Grace With God
3. London Girl
4. Fairytale of New York
5. A Pair of Brown Eyes
6. Jesse James
7. Hell's Ditch
8. The Sickbed of Cuchulainn
9. Medley
10. A Pistol for Paddy Garcia
11. Rain Street
12. Sally MacClennane
13. The Wake of the Medusa
14. White City
15. The Irish Rover
16. Whiskey in the Jar
17. Young Ned of the Hill
18. Dirty Old Town
19. Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
20. South Australia
21. Thousands are Sailing
22. Summer in Siam
23. Worms

Can't believe I still have that CD, actually.... Anyhow, there you go, IMHO that gives a fairly rounded intro to the Pogues. But tell them to buy the feckin' CDs for themself.....
