I'm not a big lover of the 'all English are (whatever expletive you like)' songs and find some both offensive and unecessary.

However, if you define greatest as having the greatest impact then my vote goes to the songs that 'have a go' in a more subtle manner. My facourite of that ilk must be Dominic Behan's 'Surrounded by water'.

I like Kevin Barry as well and have been known to sing it or accompany it on whistle occasionaly.
