Led by the inimitable Shane MacGowan, English-Irish band The Pogues fused punk rock, Irish music and later many other genres to create a unique and influential body of work throughout the ’80s and ’90s. The Very Best Of The Pogues is the first-ever Pogues compilation in America, spanning their entire career and including songs from each of their albums, including "Fairytale of New York," "A Pair of Brown Eyes," "Thousands Are Sailing," and "Body of an American."
