The top ten Irish songs to avoid this Saint Patrick’s Day - VIDEOS

The writer above is a drop kick not the Murphy's

Happy St. Patrick's Day, One & All! Can't watch those videos right now. Going out celebrating!

This is always subjective. Your musical tastes will dictate which songs you like of dislike on St. Patrick's Day (and every day). Many feel that A Nation Once Again should be the national anthem. This reads like it was written by an Englishman. I have heard these comments and descriptions of Irish music over and over ad nauseum from English persons.

A nation once again was well done, I agree with the other posts both dropkick murphy and the muppets should not be part of this, drop kick is nothing but loud and disrespectful, the muppets are for kids and this is not a childs venue

Personally, I enjoy "A Nation Once Again" and "She Moved Through The Fair," especially the version by Charlotte Church. But the way that the Dropkick Murphys wreck "The Fields Of Athenry" is sickening, to say the least! Give me Paddy Reilly's version, or the one by Barleycorn instead. And I can't stand the Muppets version of "Danny Boy." Boy, oh, boy,oh, boy! And one more thing, I love "A Nation Once Again," especially the one by the Wolfe Tones.

Every year, the US stations will play their idea of "traditional" irish songs. Give me a break! Listening to the Dubliners, Clancy Bros, etc, just perpetuate the sterotype of Irish music. I'm an old guy, but give me Van Morrison, Chris DeBurgh, Mary Black, Clannad, Nightnoise, and Enya. I would recommend every station play "Ellis Island" by Mary Black, "Island of Hope & Tears" by Nightnoise, and "Long Long Journey" by Enya every St Pat's Day. My late mother always said that those are songs are so sad. And I said, "of course they are Mom, they're Irish"

I don't know about the rest of yiz but the muppets and Danny Boy brought tears to my eyes for all the wrong reasons. Sounded like the back room of The Liar Finnegans pub at closing time

They are good Irish songs.They are classic Irish tunes aren't they? Maybe Cahir O'Doc will give us a list that he would approve of?.Come on Doc!! Ten good songs of your choice we'll see can you come up with better tunes for St Patrick's Day.

Well, "A Nation Once Again" is out-of-date, anyway. By the Partition Agreement of 1998, Carsonia remains a province of England and, by the EU treaties, all of Ireland is a province under the thumb of the European Hegemonists. Níl aon ghreim coise san Inis Ealga ag Cáit ní Dhuibhir. Níl ar bith i n-aon chor!

It appears Cahir would opt for a Quaker meeting on St.Patrick's Day

All the usual Plastic Paddy tunes then.

I think it's a bunch of hogwash. Who are you to tell people what to listen to on any day?

Music is in the ear of the beholder. If you like a certain song, enjoy it. Why care whether anyone else likes it or not? Blow off the criticism and enjoy your own personal playlist.

I love those songs. The only ones I ban on St. Patrick's Day are "The Unicorn" and "Clancy Lowered the Boom". The rest are all on the table. Mind you though, I only go for "The Fields of Athenry" and "Danny Boy" to get the pretenders out of my house very late and so my real friends and I can sit down with a pint and enjoy every thing we have now from the efforts of our ancestors.
