Greatest drinking songs

The Long Story:
I work liquor retail. joyous as it may be moving entire cases of every beer and fine spirit mankind has to offer, and leaving each day with the knowlage that I help to get my nation tanked, the instore music is enough to drive a man to an extent of madness nothing short of the climax of The Shining. 8 hours daily is spent listing to reworked and covered versions of every cheesy love song and pop ballad made in the last decade. from the Corrs destroying Little Wing to unknown girl bands whining unknown love-pop its become water torture for the ears.
which beggs the question; Why?
do love songs make people sad enough to drink more? does the foul invasion of ones ears incite the need to get drunk to the point of a deaf-mute?
why not fill the store with the likes of the greatest ode's to booze ever recorded? which leads me to-

THE POINT: What are the greatest drinking songs ever? what fills a bar and nay, our very souls with a warm love that is second only to vodka? what would you proudly play at your party or pub?
Ladies and Sirs, I leave the floor to you.

Yeah, he's a dick. I really should start hating on him, but he's so fun to drink with. Really. No, really.

Hey, leave the guy alone. Right now? George Thorogood.......Bourbon/Scotch/Beer.

I think I always say that, though.

Edit to say I'll take all of the above.

Crystal got mah back, suckas. If I can steal beer out of a retard's lap and then knock him out of his wheelchair, Mayhem shouldn't be a problem. What the fuck was this thread about again...

That flat surface is the ground. I just knocked you out of your chair. Now stay down.

Wild Rover. Just try playing this in front of a room of drunken Scots. Within a few bars, the entire (male population, at least) of the room will be standing up and roaring along with the lyrics.

Of course, in front of a room of drunken Scots, damn near anything is a drinking song.
