it totally got over my head!!! i forgot to mention the punk edge, you are right. if it was just irish folk stuff, then they wouldn't be special.
the fact is, the pogues pioneered that sound and bands like flogging molly took that sound and ran with it. maybe they can write some good songs or maybe not, but they can't be said to be original
