Best Celtic Punk

[JimmyJazz]

What are the best songs/albums by Celtic Punk bands? For both good music and political lyrics?

I'm just starting to get into it, but some of the best songs I've heard so far are:

Some of them are explicitly political. Oi Polloi are anarchists and the Murphys are pro-union. Wiki says the Pogues have "politically-tinged" lyrics although I haven't seen that yet.

Either way it's real working class music. :cool:
