SwaggerSwagger by Flogging Molly
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $9.92
First album of the band as it exists today. My favorite album, best bouncing energy songs, esp. tracks 1,2,7,8,10. Irish vocals (Dave King is a god) on all albums! This or 'Lullabies' if starting out
Drunken LullabiesDrunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $9.31
Second album. My first inroduction to F.M. Most well known songs on this album. Lyrics hard to get at times. Very full sound, very singable, F***ing awsome. This or 'Swagger' for starting out.
Within a Mile of HomeWithin a Mile of Home by Flogging Molly
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $8.92
Third album. Fantastic. Less traditional but still up to the rocking standard. All F.M. albums are my favorite. Lovely violin melodies (on this and all albums). Buy all Flogging Molly albums, DO IT!
Whiskey on a SundayWhiskey on a Sunday by Flogging Molly
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $8.98
No new material. Accustic version of old stuff (a new side of Drunk Lullabies), studio version of live stuff (Laura), live version of studio stuff (Black Fri Rule is phenomenal! olay olay olay! woo!)
Alive Behind the Green DoorAlive Behind the Green Door by Flogging Molly
Buy used from: $5.89
VERY First album of the band at an early stage (3 of the 7, no accoridan or banjo). A live recording that almost truely captures what its like to see them live. New songs.
Communication & Conviction: Last Seven YearsCommunication & Conviction: Last Seven Years by The Tossers
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $10.15
Mostly traditional Irish songs. Not as full a sound, very accustic. Not bounce-up-n-down-n-go-crazy-n-sing-a-long. Irish vocals! Many traditional songs.
PurgatoryPurgatory by The Tossers
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $10.98
Long Dim RoadLong Dim Road by The Tossers
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $3.90
Political bent makes for many dud songs (they're just talking with banjo). One FANTASTIC song (track1) = F.M. In fact, sounds exactly like Molly's 'swagger' from "Lullabies" Less traditional songs.
The Valley of the Shadow of DeathThe Valley of the Shadow of Death by The Tossers
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $4.09
Sing Loud, Sing ProudSing Loud, Sing Proud by Dropkick Murphys
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.21
Hurray! Closest yet. Great energy and bounce on many songs. Celtic sounding though not much traditional and vocals too similar to grating scream too much
BlackoutBlackout by Dropkick Murphys
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $6.50
Celticy yet still too punk rock (vocals not irish and rather grating) One FANTASTIC song (track10) nearly = to F.M. Worth buying just for that.

Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $31.41
Fantastic! Not as bouncy as FM and rather tame as a whole. Absolutely great melodies. Irish vocals fun. Very worth getting, interesting.
Rum Sodomy & the LashRum Sodomy & the Lash by The Pogues
Buy used from: $1.99
These guys before Flogging Molly and seemed to influenced them quite a bit. Best ones are those with just instruments. Don't really like much overall though.
Warped Tour: 2001 CompilationWarped Tour: 2001 Compilation by Various Artists
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.58
Has only a live version of "Rebels of the Sacred Heart" but this recording captures the energy, life, and talent of this essentially 'live' band in a way the studio album failed to. True fans need get
