What is everyone listening to?

Great choices from everyone. Especially appreciate Mike and Underdweller for their choices.
@ Underdweller, I saw The Pogues at Brixton Academy back in 2001. We were surprised Shane was even still alive and we thought it would be the last time but he's still rocking right? It was the best gig of my life even though I got trampled on twice down the front. The whole place sold out of Guinness in less than 5 minutes and there were 3 bars!
@ Mike, Move in to fire at the main stream of bombers etc Up the Irons.

Then aren't enough songs about Spitfires IMHO

The Pogues - D'oh! = I knew there was something I was meant to be doing on St. Paddy's day
Awesome band. Great stuff for when I need a break from Metal. Flogging Molly is also good.

Yeah, The Pogues are great live! I've seen them 3 times, once with Shane before they kicked him out, once with Joe Strummer as the lead singer and once with Spider Stacey. When I saw Shane he could only do an hour or so concert before passing out...I hear he's better at the recent concerts and not dead at all, surprisingly.

@Mike: Yeah, Flogging Molly is good, also Dropkick Murphys, especially their earlier stuff! My husband has tried to get me into metal but alas he has yet to be successful; I do like Hole, though.

When did they kick Shane out? Is he back in it now?
With Joe Strummer must have been amazing.

They sacked him in 1991 (for not showing up to concerts, I think), then they broke up a few years later, and I guess when you saw them it was their first tour back together. The concert with Joe Strummer was good but kind of a shock as I didn't know Shane was out till Strummer walked onto the stage.

@Underdweller

I see, oh we have a nice slice of Pogues history between us. I'm still envious that you saw the late great Joe Strummer though.
