Take The Pogues and transpose them in the Boston area, make them grow up listening to Slapshot, the Clash, Stiff Little Fingers and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and you'll have Dropkick Murphys.
Sure, it's not as simple as that but it's basically the recipe for success those lads used on their six studio albums. From them, what I enjoy the most is the celtic/folky punk outbursts of which Shipping Up to Boston is the finest. Do not be surprised, thus, if this compilation displays very few of their pure punk songs. In fact, what I intended to do with "Loyal to No One" is a compilation of the Dropkick Murphys for those who don't enjoy punk music that much and I think I did a pretty good job at it.
So here it is, 25 songs that will make you want to pogo... Celtic style!

Nice choice of DKM tracks but a woefully bad title .
Why not try "Loyal To No One But Theyself "
