Best folk band ever, followed closely by Shane MacGowan's Pogues.

The Pogues were not a folk band.

They were a rock band that riffed on Celtic and folk standards.

A Nation Once Again is not THEIR song -

READ THE ARTICLE AGAIN, they never claimed it was THEIR song.. It was their arrangement/rendition that was voted on

[edit] Rewrite needed

This is an encyclopedia, not an arena for hagiography. Can someone rewrite this in a vaguely encyclopedic tone? It's clearly already been flagged. I could go through and flag nearly every sentence with a 'citation needed' tag, but a comprehensive rewrite is what is needed. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 13:23, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I think the problem is that the text has been largely cut and pasted from the band's official website, and as such lacks a little objectivity of tone. jegmw (talk) 16:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
