What's your St. Patty's Day soundtrack?

Van the Man with the Band

The City Paper offices are right next to the Plough and the Stars and their St. Patrick's Day-themed tunes are making me wish that drinking on the job was more socially acceptable. Since I have a couple hours to kill before I can order my first pint, I'm making a St. Pat's Day soundtrack to tide me over.

I'm definitely going with Van "Belfast Cowboy" Morrison's "Tura Lura Lura (That's an Irish Lullaby)" from The Last Waltz.

But what else? There are some clear favorites: The Pogues (obvi), Dropkick Murphys/Flogging Molly/Irish-themed-but-not-technically-Irish punk bands, etc. Then there are the bands don't sound Irish but are and double as some of my fave drinking tunes: Thin Lizzy, the Undertones, Stiff Little Fingers.

Gimme some suggestions and we can build a massive St. Pat's playlist.

Just no U2, please.

Here's my next choice:

Now it's your turn.
