the pogues started in the late 70's and flogging molly started in the 90's.
the pogues at their prime really get into the essence of irish folk music (or their interpretation of it) for the most part, using the typical instrumentation to accentuate that essence. and flogging molly, while having a couple of good songs, always seem to me like they are always playing the same song.
and that song is also played a whole lot by the dropkick murphys and the swinging utters
