Dropkick Murphys are a Celtic punk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_punk) band formed in Quincy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy%2C_Massachusetts), Massachusetts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts), USA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States). First playing together in the basement of a friend's barbershop, they blended Oi! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oi%21), Irish music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Ireland), and hardcore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardcore_punk). Their influences include such outfits as Stiff Little Fingers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiff_Little_Fingers), The Pogues (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pogues), The Clash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clash), AC/DC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC/DC), and the Swinging Utters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swinging_Utters).
The band has made a name for itself and built a following by their non stop touring all over the world and their famous St. Patrick's Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Patrick%27s_Day) weekend shows, which are held in Boston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston%2C_Massachusetts). Dropkick Murphys also support unions and some of their songs reflect this. The group is also well known for their affiliation with the Boston Red Sox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Red_Sox) baseball team.

They get a point for being a "hometown" act.

The Murphys are pretty much my favorite "Punk" act out there.

How the hell is Dio in 6th place with a 78 when The Doors and Iron Maiden both scored higher?
