Flogging Molly Songs & Greatest Hits

Flogging Molly has an intense stage presence that combines the best in traditional Irish music with the energy of a punk rock band. That’s why their early album efforts were called “The Perfect Music for a bar brawl.” But if you don’t know what that means, then this short list of essential songs will help.

“Salty Dog” has an incredible pirate theme that’s a lot of fun to listen to. It has a grog-fueled sound and energy that conjures images of rowdy bar fights while the band plays on. The highlights are undeniably King’s voice and the mandolin, fiddle, and accordion creating some amazing harmony.

What can we say about “Swagger” except that it is a good song. It has an incredible speed and energy and is driven by instrumentals featuring a pulse-pounding guitar riff. And the only lyrics are “Don’t know where w’re going” and it’s got an infectious confidence. Best of all, it’s even better when played live.

Finally be sure to check out “Float”. This incredible song has a gorgeous melody and some of the most enchanting set of lyrics. It is a heartfelt story that just tugs at the heartstrings from moment one.
