Remembering Shane MacGowan 1957-2023
Irish singer Shane MacGowan has died at 65. He co-founded The Pogues in 1982. After getting kicked out in 1991, he re-joined in 2001 and was with them until their end in 2014. He also had Shane MacGowan and The Popes, as well as solo work and collaborations with Nick Cave, Sinead O'Connor, and Dropkick Murphys.
The Pogues and Kristy MacColl's 1987 song "Fairytale in New York" is a holiday song I listen to every year as it's on multiple compilation albums. It was even featured in last year's Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. I named The Pogues one of my Honorable Mentions for Best Irish Rockers of All-Time.
The link above is a list from Rolling Stone of his 15 essential songs with embedded videos.

ALBUM TAG GAME!! ✨
Thank you everyone for the tags @sweetxvanixlla @panzershrike-pretz @dontirrigateme @themysciraprincess @executethyself35 !!
Rules: 6 albums you've been listening to, plus one track from each that you're especially fond of
Like many of my taggers, I just have one playlist of songs that I listen to 😂 I'll pick songs from albums I listen to multiple songs from!
Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen; Jazz
My absolute favorite song - @dontirrigateme showed it to me when I was a kid and honestly nothing ever beats it
Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance; The Black Parade
I started my emo phase a little late, so I didn't really get into this song until a few years ago, but it honestly slaps and it's one of the few that I virtually never skip
Sunshine Highway by the Dropkick Murphys; The Warrior's Code
Probably my favorite DKM song, it keeps their Celtic punk vibes while still being more lighthearted than their usual stuff~
Over the Rainbow by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes; Are a Drag
Another one shown to me by @dontirrigateme (they have had a major influence on my music taste 😂❤️) a rock version of an already lovely song? FUCK YES
The Invisible Man by Queen; The Miracle
fun fact! This song actually inspired the Danny Phantom theme song! it's also just a banger and I love saying the band member's names in it lmao
Somebody to Love by Queen; A Day At the Races
I will never not love this song. I can't explain it but it's somehow a bop, banger, and emotional catharsis all in one.
I tried so hard not to do all Queen songs for this 🤣
No pressure tags! @xxluckystrike @ithinkabouttzu @ewipandora @blueberry-ovaries @whollyjoly @jiang-mingyi @ronsenthal @b00ks1ut and anyone else that wants to do this!!

i have a profile name that's a song reference to begin with so i might as well do The Thing with songs for each letter because i saw @sparklyeyedhimbo do it 👀👀 so here you go:
H Hero - Monsta X
O Once Upon A December - Anastasia OST
T Time Bomb - Rancid
A Atlantis - SHINee
S Shining On - Big D and the Kids Table
F Furr - Blitzen Trapper
A Any Way You Choose To Give It - The Black Ghosts
H Hello Future - NCT Dream
R Rocky Road To Dublin - Dropkick Murphys
E Electric Hearts - WayV
N No Blueberries - DPR Ian (with DPR Live and CL)
H Highway To Heaven - NCT 127
E Erase Me - Oneus
I Innuendo - Queen (my all time most favouritest song ever, hands down, for always, will never change)
T Trespass - Monsta X
god these things are so hard, as soon as i start trying to think of songs my brain is like "you don't know the name of a single song and you've never known any songs in your entire life" 🤣🤣
i decided since my name on here is a reference to Gambler by Monsta X but there's no g's to list it under that i would just start and end it with Monsta X songs 💖
i'm not tagging anyone since i just felt like doing this so do it if you see this and you want! (you're supposed to tag the same number of people as you have letters but uhhhh i am not gonna do that, idk who i would even tag anyway besides @poetry-protest-pornography who would see this even if i didn't tag her and then do it anyway)

I miss the days I went wild in mosh pits. Throwing my 6' 160lbs around was fun and I was always more brutal than the boys.
