The Pogues

Formed in 1982, The Pogues married the raw energy and political anger of punk with the structures and instrumentation of Irish folk. The scope of their brash approach belied the acoustic nature of their arrangements. Singer/songwriter Shane McGowan, the band's visionary, departed the band for a solo career, and the Pogues made a couple of sub-par '90s albums without him.
