I mean, I never considered myself a HUGE Dropkick Murphy's song, but I know enough to randomly recognize what douchebro Mcgee is playing in the middle of thecnight on his guitar. 

I learned their music through Pandora and later youtube searching, but I got no clue what those songs sound like, Near Lurker. Singles don't have power in today's world.

jwhouk:
DKM has a few songs that pretty much any hockey fan would recognize two seconds in.

Method of Madness:
I just know "Shipping Up to Boston" and "(F)lannigan's Ball" (Guitar Hero 3).

Timemaster:
When I saw Chumbawamba life I had the impression that some of the band members were pretty drunk. Increasingly so during the gig.  :-D

But the songs I know (wich are pretty much all on the album "Tubthumper") are mostly not about drinking ones ass off, but rather about social themes. Workers rights, coalminers stikes in the 80´s, corruption of working union leaders, high rents for small flats and so on.
Many of these songs can be counted as protest songs, taking an anarchistic or socialistic stance. As far as I know Chumbawamba was a kind of anarchistic non-profit band then, giving its winnings to civil rights organisations or small protest groups. The members of the group changed very often, when I saw them life I recognized only about half of the band from the pictures of the booklet. Especially the female leadsinger was someone else than on the album (and not nearly as good, voice-wise).

Nonetheless the other songs on "Tubthumping" are nice and catchy too. If someone happens to stumble over the CD secondhand for a good price I´d recomment buying it.
