The Dropkick Murphys
 

K I won't lie, I only really started getting into them since I heard 'Shipping Up to Boston' off The Departed soundtrack, although A) I wish I got into them before, B) what matters is I am now.

I have d/l a lot of their stuff, but unfortunately, not liked most of them. I feel as though I am only really into the songs like 'Shipping Up To Boston' and the new single 'The State of Massachussets'....the ones with a decent and unique tune, and lyrics I can actually hear and make out as opposed to their others.

So anyone up for suggesting me songs that sound like those two? or ones that defo are good?

Cheers.

Flogging molly is really a lot better.

Dropkick is good for drinking guiness and is really more of a good live show, still not touching Flogging molly.

K hook me up with the names of some songs youd recommend to convert me to them

Guys, guys



I think we can all agree that both Flogging Molly and Dropkick kick alot of ass

Dropkick is rowdier. It's good fighting / drinking / being Irish music. Flogging Molly is pirate music.

That being said, Seven Deadly Sins and Devil's Dance Floor are extremely catchy.

Flogging molly

Drunken Lullabies

dropkick murphys
The Fields of Athenry

But just anything is pretty amazing tbh.

Pirate music ey? I like the fucking sound of that.

The Blackout album is pretty awesome.

I feel good listening to this shit.

Maybe it has something to do with my family coming from Ireland, I'm all Irish now!

Yeah DKM is pretty popular now that I'm Shipping Up To Boston is played on the radio all the fucking time. Then again I live in New England.

The great thing about them is if you love one song by them, then you love pretty much all of them, with the exception of Do or Die because that album had a different vocalist. I mean that in a good way though.

I'm with KK, Blackout is the best album.

This new one is pretty good too

What else can I recommend?

10 years of service
The Kids Are Alright (Cover)
Dirty Water (Cover)
Boys on the Docks

God, I'm drawing a blank. Stupid dizziness.

True words.

KISS ME I'M SHITFACED

Only good for having Forrest Griffin come out to their music to whoop someone's big fat pimply a-hole.

I prefer The Pogues, who I imagine the Dropkick Murphys were heavily inspired by.

Also The Dubliners have the definitive version of the Seven Deadly Sins for me.

I dunno. When I listen to the Pgues or the Dubliners, it's hardly for the same reason I listen to the Murphys.
