5. The Byrds - Boston
This love song tells the story of a man dreaming of going to Boston to see the girl he loves who lives there.
4. Augustana - Boston
3. Vampire Weekend - Boston (Ladies Of Cambridge)
2. The Standells - Dirty Water
"Well I love that dirty water / Oh, Boston, you're my home (oh, you're the Number One place)"
Many Bostonians say that this classic 1966 song has become the unofficial rock anthem for the city of Boston.
1. Dropkick Murphys - For Boston
"For Boston, for Boston / Thy glory is our own / For Boston, for Boston / 'Tis here that truth is known"
This is a triumphant cover of Boston College's traditional fight song. This Dropkick Murphys version can often be heard at Boston College football games.
