48.Dropkick Murphys-The Warrior's Code (2005)
The Dropkick Murphys' 2005 breakout album The Warrior's Code was really the last consistently great album the Dropkick Murphys released. Of course, everyone knows singles "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" from The Departed and "Tessie" from its attachment to the Boston Red Sox; but the lesser known tracks is where the album really shined. "Citizen C.I.A." is the most savage and furious punk song in their discography, "Captain Kelly's Kitchen" is the most rousing cover of a traditional Irish song they've ever made and "Your Spirit's Alive" is the perfect blend of their emotional, punk and anthematic sides on the same track. More than any of their earlier albums, the Dropkick Murphys really went out and made a diverse record that was evenly split between ballads, Gaelic folk songs and straight punk tracks. The Warrior's Code packs exactly the type of a punch you would expect from an album that features boxer "Irish" Mickey Ward on the cover.
