That's a perfect early pogues run. Messy and Irish and punk AF.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah EP

That's a run with the Pogues broadening their Irish songs to include the immigrant experience beyond London, to Australia, New York and elsewhere. This run also found them expanding their actual sound to include more traditional jazz, spanish influences and even psychedlia. Almost all of it is fanfuckingtastic. They made some great music after this but never another great album nevermind trilogy. Shane was halfway out the door and various members were out of control drunk or embracing newfound sobriety at this point. Joe Strummer even joined for a short while! Anyway, these four albums and two EP's document an incredible band on an incredible journey.
