I'm going to see The Pogues in October and I'm going to bring a friend who isn't very familiar with them (yet). Is there a compilation you guys would recommend as a good introduction or does this call for a custom playlist? If so, what should be included on said playlist? Brevity is good so he doesn...

Though it is great that you discovered the Pogues at all, I must rain on the parade... I HATE GUITAR HERO AND ROCK BAND!!! Call me old fashioned but i take in pride in actually playing a real guitar... how good or bad is irrelevant, rock band is the lazy way to pretend you can make music, and oddly...

Just out of curiosty Mr. Chevron, if you had to rank the Pogues albums in order from favorite to least favorite, what would your order be?

I'm going to answer this as a work in progress, as I don't believe I'm yet fully qualified to answer this question. The Pogues are fast becoming my favorite band (could they possibly overtake The Clash?), but I have a lot more listening to do before I can really rank the albums. Right now, I have th...

I Regardless, we need some Pogues in the game, stat. Yes, the Pogues should most definitely be in Rock Band, but so should the Radiators--Million Dollar Hero; Let's Talk about the Weather; Walking Home Alone Again; Trouble Pilgrim Second Avenue, etc. Okay, I admit it; I'm a diehard fan of both band...

Whatever happened to the good old days when people used to go out and buy an instrument, learn to play it and then join a proper Rock Band? :? I did that in high school and college, but with a wife, job and newborn, there simply isn't time. Also, I shudder to think what my wife would think with a r...

I just listened to the song Tuesday Morning for the first time and think it would be great for Rock Band. I'd want to see some of the more uptempo stuff in Rock Band since it tends to be more fun to play. I'm thinking Sick Bed, Sally Maclenane, Body of an American, If I Should Fall, White City, Stre...

Well I'll be danged. At the risk of sounding like the old British judge who asked "Who or what is a Beatle?", I haven't the foggiest idea what you're on about, though it is clear you have gone to great pains to explain it and I thank you for that. It's probably best if I bring this to the...

Also, here's the request thread for The Pogues at the Rock Band website if you're feeling voyeuristic: http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120778 You guys are up to 6 pages, which is pretty impressive. Some of us Clash die-hards got so carried away discussing The Clash, that the London C...

Mr. Chevron, could you shine any light on the subject? Have you been approached by any of the music games yet? Are you guys interested? Did you even know you were the subject of a loading screen in a hugely popular video game? I can't wait to sing Sick Bed or Bottle of Smoke in the game. Um.......a...

Hey everyone. I'm an avid music fan that discovered The Pogues in a roundabout way because of the game Rock Band. Every week new downloadable tracks are added (usually about 10 per week or so). I discovered The Clash and became a huge fan because of the songs they have in the game (Should I Stay, Co...
