Pure Irish Punk. If you are a twelve year old Busted loving girl, which I think you are, then yes. They are good.

Extremely good songs by the Dropkick Murphys in my opinion are:
Barroom Hero (with original singer), Shipping Up To Boston (Woody Guthrie cover), Black Velvet Band, and Blood or Whiskey.

I'm Shipping Up To Boston is a great song, but the lyrics are too simple IMO.

I think the best song they ever made is their version of Fields Of Athenry, followed by the DKM classic 'Boys On The Docks'(newer version with Al Barr).

Haven't seen them mentioned here (unless overlooked), but a band I'm much enjoying is Blood Or Whiskey. Strongly recommend that anyone who hasn't heard them get some.

Roaring Jack is a band I've heard about several times, but am having a hell of a time finding anything by. Any tips?

some german label has it and shite 'n onions does sometimes. i'm pretty sure those are the only places you can get it. go to roaring jack's site and it has the links.

or i could give you their stuff through msn messenger if you'd like.

Try The Roaring Jack Archives.... Or the Roaring Jack link form Shite'n'Onions

If you enjoy the bagpipes in DKM you should check out the Real McKenzies. I'd recommand 'Clash of the Tartans'.

Enter The Haggiss

The Singing Loins

The Clash

**Thu Mar 10, 2005 4:06 pm**

In no order.

The Dolomites are so good, even Shane MacGowan thought they were the Pogues. He asked "Is this me?"

Roaring Jack
The Mahones
Siobhan
Saint Bushmill's Choir
The Go Set
Blood Or Whiskey
The Skels
Real McKenzies
Amadan
The Peelers
Greenland Whalefishers

I'm forgetting many, but it's 8 AM

I think it's a crying shame Barney left Blood Or Whiskey. The new album just ain't thesame without him.

**Sat Sep 17, 2005 6:12 am**

Hey it's good to see the Real Mckenzies get a mention, thats what I listen to when I occasionaly get bored with The Pogues and Flogging Mollys.

I think the bagpipe is a very cool instrument and the Real Mckenzies put in a intresting mix of bagpipe music in their songs, their bagpipe player is a hell of a lot better than Spicy McHaggis who I believe is the bagpiper in the Dropkick Murphys.

**Sat Sep 17, 2005 7:56 am**

Has anyone mentioned the Tossers?

**Sat Sep 17, 2005 3:43 pm**

I don't know a whole lotta songs by the mahones but I don't see what's so special about them...they just seem like another pogues rip off band, not to say they don't to it well though. I mean c'mon the guys voice is just a shane imitation. oh and I don't think anyone's mentioned them yet so the Men They Couldn't Hang!!
