This Irish quartet have endured their fair share of spirited backlash (some of it warranted) in addition to their seismic popularity and well-deserved plaudits. Say what you will; this is a band not determined to repeat itself, and many a classic has come out of that ethos. These are my favorite songs from the ubiquitous Dubliners.
