The top ten greatest Irish drinking songs - VIDEOS

JBRAFTREE, Obviously, you are not aware that Ronnie Drew passed away in the past few months. RIP Ronnie.

While i can think of a few other songs (like donal1951's and TheOldPerfessor's suggestions), i'm mostly curious how Irish Central feels about posting stories like this while also taking issue with the stereotypes of the drunken irish. Not many other "news outlets" are going to post similar stories for other countries...or would they?

Scott Gorman was my favourite T'in Lizzy...woulda preferred 'Whiskey in The Jar'...Ronnie Drew has got the sexiest eyes...Shane is so heartbreakingly vulnerable...Prefer Brush Shiels version of 'Fields of Athenry'...Luke Kelly singing 'Foggy Dew'...for a patriotice finale...Another post...please?...Amhran na bhFiann....!

Thanks guys, I was about to break out the Clancys & Tommy Makem. 'Ya saved me doin' that. Outstanding music. What's up wit Ronnie Drew's teeth? I hope he fixed 'em.

Check out Fiddlers Green Lanigan's Ball...brilliant...my cousins party piece guaranteed to get the craic going...Rise It!

Brilliant choice...not sure about Molly Malone or Clancy Bros..Love Pogues and Dubz and Fairytale...The best Iirsh musicians from Diaspora...There's a brilliant electric guitar version of Homes of Donegal by a Chinese or Japanese guy..it really rocks..if anyone knows it can you tell me who it's by?...Brush Shiels version of Fields of Anthenry is fab also...! I remember my mother telling my brother to play Irish Music but of course he didn't listen to her...what a beautiful wise woman she was...Always listen to your mama:-(

I learned "Molly Malone" in 5th Grade, and STILL love that song!!

I'm more of a traditionalist. What about Sullivan's John by its writer, the Pecker Dunne.

I'd add The Wild Rover by either the Pogues or the Dropkick Murphys.
