- ‘King of the Bop’ (The Nips) (1978) Before MacGowan immersed himself in Irish music, he imbued himself with punk. Julien Temple’s documentary Crock of Gold makes the case that MacGowan was at enough early Sex Pistols gigs that he could have been Sid Vicious (although, in fairness, so could almost anyone).
- ‘Dark Streets of London’ (1984) The Pogues’ 1984 debut single, written by MacGowan, establishes the template for everything that would come after it. It’s at once rollicking and downtrodden, buoyant and bruised, a perfect mix of rough-and-ready punk rock and proudly hot-wired traditional Irish folk music.

- ‘The Band Played Waltzing Matilda’ (1985) “The Band Played Waltzing Matilda” was originally recorded by the Australian folk singer Eric Bogle, an artist whom critic Robert Christgau called “one of the least commanding singers in any hemisphere you care to name.”
