The Pogues – Rum, Sodomy & the Lash
A whiskey-soaked folk-punk masterpiece that sounds like it was written in the gutter, sung in a storm, and immortalised in a pub where the walls breathe. Rum, Sodomy & the Lash is not nostalgia — it’s broken-glass poetry, seasalt rage, Catholic guilt, and sailor-heart romance stitched together by Shane MacGowan’s holy-wrecked voice. A flawless album for anyone who understands beauty can limp, swear, bleed, and still win.
