En démontrant que l’esprit punk pouvait vivre dans la musique folk traditionnelle irlandaise, les Pogues furent l’un des groupes les plus radicaux du milieu des années 1980. Menés par Shane MacGowan, dont la voix pâteuse et souvent incompréhensible dissimulait pourtant la poésie pure de ses textes, les Pogues étaient indéniablement politiques — non seulement plusieurs de leurs chansons prenaient explicitement parti pour le libéralisme de la classe ouvrière, mais leur son déchaîné, mélange explosif de punk et de folk, était en soi une provocation. Ils avaient aussi un sens de l’humour délicieusement tordu, comme en témoigne leur plus grand succès, le chant de Noël détraqué Fairytale of New York. Leurs trois premiers albums — Red Roses for Me, Rum Sodomy & the Lash, If I Should Fall from Grace with God — furent largement salués en Grande-Bretagne comme aux États-Unis, et en 1988, ils comptaient un public culte important dans les deux pays. Pourtant, le mode de vie sombrement romantique et autodestructeur de MacGowan — essentiel à l’esprit et au succès du groupe — finit par causer leur perte. À la fin de la décennie, il était tombé dans un profond alcoolisme et une toxicomanie sévère, obligeant le groupe à le renvoyer pour pouvoir continuer. Les Pogues poursuivirent sans lui au début des années 1990, jouant devant un public de plus en plus restreint, avant de se dissoudre en 1996.

By demonstrating that the spirit of punk could live in traditional Irish folk music, the Pogues were one of the most radical bands of the mid-’80s. Led by Shane MacGowan, whose slurred, incomprehensible voice often disguised the sheer poetry of his songs, the Pogues were undeniably political — not only were many of their songs explicitly in favor of working-class liberalism, but the wild, careening sound of their punk-injected folk was implicitly outrageous. They also had a wickedly warped sense of humor, which was abundantly clear on their biggest hit, the fractured Christmas carol “Fairy Tale of New York.” The group’s first three albums — Red Roses for Me, Rum Sodomy & the Lash, If I Should Fall from Grace with God — were widely praised in both Britain and America, and by 1988 they had earned substantial cult followings in both countries. Yet MacGowan’s darkly romantic, wasted lifestyle, which was so key to their spirit and success, ultimately proved to be their downfall. By the end of the decade, he had fallen deep into alcoholism and drug addiction, forcing the band to fire him if they wanted to survive. The Pogues carried on without him in the early ’90s, playing to a slowly shrinking audience before finally disbanding in 1996.
