5.0 out of 5 stars Non-stop brilliance from punk-folk-pop phenomenon, 6 Jun 2001
By A Customer
The Pogues were one of the unlikliest pop bands of the 80s, with their mad fusion of Irish folk and London punk, but their musical talent, and the lyrical brilliance of frontman Shane MacGowan, also made them one of the best. This compilation puts together (virtually) all their finest moments on one top value CD, from Latin carnival freakout 'Fiesta' to the desolate romance of 'A Pair of Brown Eyes', from the urban squalor of 'The Old Main Drag' to the blissed out sun-kissed tranquility of 'Summer in Siam'. For rousing rebel and drinking songs, there hasn't been a better band than The Pogues in the last twenty years. This CD is consistently enjoyable, funny, boisterous and tuneful, and more than occasionally poignant and profound. Their duet with the Dubliners on 'The Irish Rover' and everyone's favourite Christmas hit 'Fairy Tale of New York' (with the much lamented Kirsty MacColl) are of course included.

3.0 out of 5 stars good compilation but ....., 14 Jun 2002
By A Customer
a good sample of the pogues, I bought this to replace a few LP's that I bought years ago. I particularly wanted 'a rainy night in soho' - achingly beautiful on their EP 'Poguetry in motion', but oh what a dissapointment this was. 'They' have let some CLUMSY HALF-DEAF DONKEY in the studio loose on it, and this CD has a re-engineered version which has none of the purity of the origonal, and instead much additional noise. The rest of the CD is great, it would have been superb as a whole but for this glitch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, 30 Mar 2003
By A Customer
It was "The Fairytale Of New York", that classic christmas song that sparked my interest in the Pogues. It's an awesome compilation of Irish folk music thats you will humm for ages afterwards. A brilliant CD.

This is a good Very Best Of. However it did omit several songs from the previous 'Best Of'. Tracks 12-18 are fairly poor, which is a let-down; but this is saved by their brilliant... Read more
