The Pogues are punk the way Elvis Costello was punk - not sounding exactly the way we think punk should sound, but in the same spirit. Besides Shane McGowan was in a punk band before, the Pogues were part of the post-punk era anyways with PiL & Joy Division & the trad. Irish music they play is performed from the perspective of a punk band.
