The Best of The Pogues gathers the glorious, rowdy heart of the London-Irish band's 1980s run on a single LP, from pub-floor stompers to some of the most beautiful ballads Shane MacGowan ever wrote.

First released in 1991, the compilation captures a band that fused punk attitude with Irish folk tradition and changed both in the process. With MacGowan's battered, poetic voice up front and tin whistle, banjo and accordion swirling around him, The Pogues made music that sounded ancient and brand new at the same time.

"Fairytale of New York," the band's duet with Kirsty MacColl, is here in all its bittersweet glory, as is "A Rainy Night in Soho," perhaps MacGowan's most tender love song. "The Irish Rover," recorded with The Dubliners, is a joyous, breakneck romp, while "Thousands Are Sailing" and "The Body of an American" show the band's gift for storytelling about emigration, loss and hard living.

Every track is a reminder of how much feeling the band could pack into a three-minute song, whether they were raising the roof or breaking your heart.

For newcomers it is the perfect introduction to the band, and for longtime fans it is a fine way to keep the essentials spinning together.
