If you're not familiar with The Pogues, The Sunny Side of the Street is the song (and the album, Hell's Ditch it was released on) are the quintessential sound (for me).
Incredible and unique music that doesn't imitate or try to be anything other than what it is.
To me it's the album Rum, Sodomy, & the Lash. It was produced by Elvis Costello and his goal was to capture the Pogues in their live glory, which I think he succeeded at doing in spades. That's really classic Pogues at the peak of their powers. If I Should Fall from Grace with God is also a great album and is the sound of them cresting the wave. After that I'm afraid it was all downhill, mostly because of a lot of problems involving substance abuse and alcoholism.
