Waaay better. I look at dropkick murphy's as the green day of that genre. They're usually what gets you into it in the first place and then you spend the next few years listening to better shit and wondering why you loved DM so much in the first place..

The Bruisers are my favorite Oi band ever. Well, actually, they're pretty much tied with Niblick Henbane. Nobody knows who Niblick Henbane is though.
I wouldn't really consider the Dropkick Murphys Oi. They've got definite Oi elements, especially early on, but not so much anymore. I got into Oi through the Business. That band is great, even if they are the Sum 41 of Oi.

That was great. Really. That's gonna pop into my head sometime tomorrow and I'm going to start laughing and people are going to look at me strangely.

Agreed.
I still say that the 4-Skins were the best Oi band. The Business, Infra-riot, Last Resort, and Combat 84 were all good too.

Definition Time!
I consider myself a fan of the punk rock, but I have a very biased favor for "california" punk - The very distinct SoCal and NorCal sound that developed in the mid 90's, and for, of course, the early Midwest/east coast hardcore stuff (I do not limit myself to these "genres" anymore, of course, this is 10 years ago Im talking about.)
As a kid I generally dispised English punk (especially the clash and the sex pistols. What can I say, I still think the Sex Pistols were terrible. I have learned the error of my ways in regards to The Clash though), and, what I assume, most 0i music as well.
But what is Oi? I have my idea's about the general sound is - Crass, Cock Sparer, The Buisness, Fear (?) - but is the genre defined by it's general sound (which is really just low-fi, low talent punk), or are the Implied/Assumed politics of the band a requirement as well. What am I missing here? What makes Cock Sparrer Oi but, say, Rancid not Oi?
KharBevNor:
An Oi band has to have skins in it and go Oi! doesn't it? Or is that just an over-generalisation I'm going to get booted for? I would like to point out that I have almost no idea what I'm talking about.
