That usually occurs when a poster infers that a large number of folks on the forum lack honor.

I don't think any one band can be rightly acclaimed Pogue-apparent. There are several Poguelets who have touched on their style: Dropkick Murphys represent the wild side, The Waterboys the more lyric (at least on Fisherman's Blues and Room to Roam), and etc., but the band's style variations are too manifold. Unfortunately, what made the Pogues great is what also led to their demise, or at least to the loss of Shane MacGowan's teeth.
