Battle of the Bands: The Dubliners & Thin Lizzy sing "Whiskey in the Jar"
We members of Division 32 have a wide variety of musical tastes. Some, such as our good brother Bill Delaney (and former lead-crooner for Pittsburgh's own The Vi-Counts) favor the traditional Irish ballad. Others, such as our long-haired, Teutonically-named brother John Graf prefer their Irish music a little more "caffeinated." As a newly-minted blogger for Division 32, I aim to please all segments of the Division 32 community.
Whiskey in the Jar is a traditional Irish song about a highwayman who is betrayed by his lover. In order to please each and every Division 32 member, I provide you with these alternative versions of this classic as sung by two of Ireland's legendary acts - The Dubliners and Thin Lizzy. You be the judge!
Update: For any Division 32 headbangers, you may prefer the Metallica version. Click here.

Hands down, the Dubliners do the best version.
dubliners rock!
I candidly vote for the Metallica version. I decided not to embed the video link, hoeever, because the video is a bit scandalous if you know what I mean.
