Certainly not. While I will continue to maintain that The Pogues are inimitable, there are a few bands whch approximate aspects of their style or spirit even more closely than Dropkick Murphys: Josh Lederman Y Los Diablos, The Tossers, and Filthy Thieving Bastards (I'm thinking of
this song in particular). Even Flogging Molly seems more Pogue-like to me than the Dropkicks. I'm not familiar with The Waterboys, though. I should take a gander at them on youtube.
