U2… check, Proclaimers… check, uh, that Spirit of the West song… check. Ahh, the tired and true staples of your average St. Patrick’s Day celebration; we get it – they’re Irish – but choosing good drinking music requires more than that clever association. You know the saying “It’s twelve noon somewhere…” as an excuse to drink at any time of day? The same casual obliviousness can apply here, as just about everyone is “a little bit Irish”. So for the sake of having a positively memorable St. Patrick’s Day, consider these possibly semi-Irish records for your weekend socializing. Lord knows we all own at least one of them.

St. Patrick's Day Update:
It looks as though I should've included Weezer's Blue Album to the list, since we were screaming along to the whole record.
Have a great one,

Seriously, the Blue Album is one the most reliable party records I own. For the generation who grew up on post-Nevermind "alternative rock" radio, it's the perfect mix of nostalgia and fist-pumping anthems.
