There has got to be some Pogues fans here. Alas bar "Fairytale of New York" I'm new to them, so don't know where to start.

Can someone please give recommendations of their better albums!

Cheers!

I'm a fan but only through my Dad and don't really know what is the best vs. good albums sorry.

I'll have a look what Pogues album I have and post here.

I'd check out Google for some reviews.

Ah, man you are really getting into your celtic tinged punk aint'cha? The 80s Pogues output is widely regarded as the best as that was the time before drugs and alcohol was getting the better of Shane MacGowen. The albums are:

Red Roses For Me
Rum Sodomy And The Lash
If I Should Fall From Grace With God
Peace And Love

If you haven't heard them, but you should have, I also completely recommend Flogging Molly. There is a more Scottish take on the whole celtic-punk thing by a bunch of Canadians (!) called The Real McKenzies.

Been trying to get some Flogging Molly for quite a while now, but I refuse to pay CD prices for it... £8 is still too much for me!! I want to get all albums for £5 at most!
